Tips for buying a car
The first thing you need to do is get your finances into order. Work out a budget and stick to it. Decide whether a personal loan or cash will work best for you - we can help with that.
If you're buying a used car remember to:
- Keep on top of used car market prices
- Inspect the car carefully
- Bring a friend who knows a bit about cars
- Take a test drive
- Negotiate the best deal
- Make sure the deal is in writing
- Transfer the money online or via banker's draft to the seller
