Not thinking about the possibility of resale
Sooner or later the majority of drivers decide to sell their car. On average this happens every 6 years.
Given this circumstance, it is important to correctly choose the brand and specifications of the car. The brand, engine power, and even color play an important role in resale.
Driving a car from another city on your own
Having bought a car in another city, many owners want to check its characteristics on the highway which often leads to ridiculous accidents. If the distance exceeds 1,000 km, it is better not to take risks driving on an unfamiliar road and use the services of an auto transportation.
Not including the cost of maintenance
The cost of the car includes not only the money paid for it in the store but also the maintenance and insurance costs which will increase every year.
A weighted approach in this matter will help to reduce to a minimum the risk of future financial problems.
Overpaying for additional options
Today, not only luxury cars but also most middle-class brands can have additional options, so you need to carefully check whether you will use all the functions you paid for.
Buying a brand new car
Experienced drivers rarely buy a newly-released car. Especially it concerns new brands. As a rule, for the first few years, the manufacturing company collects information about all the problems and defects in order to eliminate them in the next versions.
The optimal strategy, in this case, is to choose a known model that has been in use for no more than three years.
Buying too big or too small car
There's no reason for you to run to extremes. Buying a spacious minibus, SUV, luxury coupe or hatchback should be dictated by vital needs, rather than a momentary desire.
Choosing between prestige and technical specifications
If you can not choose between brand and reliability, then in such cases the preference should be given to the technical characteristics of the car.
Not examining a car
Relying on the opinion of the seller, you can make a big mistake because each of them is interested primarily in increasing their profits. A competent independent specialist, who you will take with you to the auto shop, will not allow them to screw with your head.
Missing profitable offers and discounts
The best time to buy a car falls on the winter-spring period when car dealers, trying to get rid of last year's models, arrange sales and significantly reduce the price.
Not trying to reduce the price
Knowing that the rivalry between dealers is very high, you can send emails with a proposal to reduce the price of a particular model. Many companies are ready to meet the needs of potential buyers.
