Buying a new car can sometimes be difficult and time-consuming task, especially looking through online websites to choose a car you need. From the colour to how the car handles and drives, today I’ll be sharing some tips if you’re looking to buy a new car.

When buying your new vehicle, I would highly suggest double checking the mileage on the dashboard. Nobody wants a vehicle that has high mileage, especially if it’s been through multiple owners. High mileage motors are often prone to more breakdowns, leaks and also have more wear and tear as the vehicle has been driven quite a bit. Vehicles over 100,000 miles are the ones you should definitely not buy, especially if the model is less than 3-4 years old.

Another major tip if you’re looking for looking to buy a new vehicle is to double check the features and extras which are complementary in the vehicle. Try to purchase a vehicle that includes all the basic features and extras. This includes parking sensors, heated seats and a reverse camera. Having a vehicle that has the basic features can definitely make your driving experience easier.

When you’re in the process of purchasing your new vehicle, it is highly recommended and important that you stay within your budget. Keep in mind the budget you have; you always need to keep some money aside in order to get insurance on your new pride and joy. Also always make sure that you can afford to run your vehicle too, from changing the tyres to filling up the petroleum tank.

Moreover, when you’re on the hunt and looking; make sure you see the vehicle in person and take it for a test drive before you agree on the sale. Do not buy it straight from the website as sometimes the camera can miss some important scuffs, marks and scratches on the bodywork. Taking it for a test drive can also add some sense of relief to you as you know the car starts, runs and drives with no mechanical problems. Another major tip is when visiting the motor is to go in the daytime. Visiting the motor at night can often hide the wear and tear as it will not be highly visible like it will be in the daytime
