What to Consider as a First-Time Car Buyer

  • Assess Your Needs: Determine the primary use of your vehicle—daily commuting, weekend adventures, or family transport—to choose a model that fits your lifestyle.
  • Set a Realistic Budget: Factor in not just the purchase price but also ongoing costs like insurance, maintenance, and fuel. It's advisable to keep your car payment within 10% of your take-home pay.
  • Research Vehicle History: Always review the car's service records, MOT history, and perform a vehicle history check to ensure transparency and peace of mind.
