Things You Need To Know Before You Buy A Used Car

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Bartons Hyundai

Buying a used Hyundai car is a cost efficient alternative to purchasing a brand new vehicle. However, there are several factors you should consider before visiting the nearest used cars dealer in Brisbane. This can be a daunting task, especially when you are first time buyer. Fortunately, with the help of the following tips you can drive your own car in no time.
Used
Mileage
One of the most important factors you should consider is a vehicle’s mileage. If the car is old, expect its mileage to be higher. As much as possible, you should find a car that has been driven less than 1,000km per year.

Engine
An unreliable engine can cause headaches. Before buying, determine the engine of the used car and do your research. If you know someone who is an automobile enthusiast, you can ask for his or her opinion. Keep in mind, a clean engine doesn’t mean it functions normally. Sometimes rust and damage are present inside the tubes and bearings.

Petrol
Owning a car is already a huge investment. Don’t choose a vehicle which can deplete a full tank in just a few days. This can be too costly, especially when you have a limited budget.

Safety features
Some old cars aren’t equipped with the latest safety standard features. If the car is for family use, you may want to invest in a newer model. Pick a car which was released two to three years ago.

Warranty
Many individuals are unaware that used cars can still have warranties. Visit your local dealer and determine if they offer cars with guarantees.

Financial options in buying a new car

Posted on January 28, 2013 by Bartons Hyundai

Purchasing a new car is always a challenging endeavour for those who are financially challenged. However, there are numerous car finance options available to make it possible for almost everyone to have a car. Here are some things to consider when applying for any car loan:

Knowing the car you will buy

The first step before looking for a car loan is to know what type of car you need. For example:

Is the car you need something you will use when you drive to the office or the place where you work?
Do you have a family with one to three children? Will the car be used to take them to different locations including their school?
Will the car be for personal leisure?

Knowing the type of vehicle you require will help you research any car and financing options. This will help you concentrate more on comparing the car price and loans easily.

Planning your budget

Purchasing a new car through a loan may seem very easy to achieve, which makes it easy to not foresee if your monthly income will be able to cover the expenses. An important factor to consider is how much you will be able to put aside to cover the loan for your new car. You can compute how much you can afford on a car loan by computing all of your monthly expenses including the utility bills, groceries and rent. Your monthly income minus your monthly expenses will give you a general idea of how much you can afford on a car loan.

Interest rates

Interest rates will be a factor in how much you will be spending on your car per month. For most cases, the interest rates increase per month, which may catch some people by surprise. Those who have a low credit score will likely have a high interest rate as compared to those who have a higher credit score. It is encouraged for everyone to be active in reviewing the rates on any car loan and comparing them to each other in order to find the best financial option for them.
