Buying Your First Luxury Car
Having made the decision to get rid of your old car your thoughts will no doubt drift onto what car you will be buying next
. Dependent on what vehicle it is that you are getting rid of will, in most cases will dictate the type of car you purchase next. For arguments sake let's just say that you have just sold your old banger and have a nice chunk of money to purchase your dream car. This article will give you some in valuable advice into making the purchase of your dream car as smooth a journey as you hope you new vehicle will provide.Search based on budget rather than by model
The biggest mistake that you can make when buying a luxury car is to start your search based on a certain model of car. This is because you will more than likely start with the most expensive model you can think of and then become quickly disappointed when you realise it is way out of your price range.
Instead visit an internet car sales website as they usually have very advanced quote engines. Input a minimum budget of approximately three thousand pounds below your maximum budget and then of course enter your top budget.
Next select all makes and models and you will be produced with a huge choice of cars. By doing this you will be giving yourself a realistic selection of what you can afford and you will be very surprised at just what is out there for your budget.
Do your home work
By this stage you will have probably decided on the type of car you are going to buy. Before you go and see any it is best at this stage to do your home work on them. By doing your home work you should be researching the cars as much as you can in terms of common faults.
By finding out the most common faults on your dream car you can quickly check any cars out that you go and take a look at for these faults. It makes more sense to find them before you buy rather than after. There are many specialist car forums on the internet that are home to many an enthusiast on pretty much every vehicle you can imagine.
Go and see lots of cars
Don't just select one or two cars to go and see. You are making a big purchase here so you need to be one hundred percent certain that you are making the right choice. Don't be afraid to travel a little further than you normally would either for exactly the same reason.
The more cars you see the more familiar you will become with your chosen model. All of these viewings will help you make a more informed decision when you come to the buying stage.
Don't worry about mileage
Most people who own luxury cars will have looked after them so rather than turning your nose up because a particular car has done over the recommended average mileage firstly check the service records. If the past owners have done their job properly and had the vehicle services in accordance with the service booklet then don't worry about mileage. Today's cars if looked after will run forever
Don't be afraid to haggle
Despite what the car salesman will tell you they will be making a fortune on these cars so don't be afraid to haggle. With it being such a huge purchase don't be afraid to knock a few thousand pounds off the screen price of any vehicle that you look at.
The worst thing that can happen is that the salesman will say no. However most car salesman want to deal so there will always be something you can work out and for that reason always try and knock off a lot more than you are actually prepared to pay and eventually you will no doubt meet somewhere in the middle.
Buying a luxury car is an extremely nice feeling so if you have the funds to go out and do it and follow the above simple suggestions as stated in the opening paragraph the whole experience will be as pleasurable as the drive in your new car itself.
