    Buying a new car is a big deal. They’re assets that tie up a lot of your money and can affect your budgeting for years to come. There are lots of ways you can cut down on costs like petrol use and insurance. If you’re a thrifty customer, however, then you should be making savings from the beginning. Here, we’re going to look at how to do just that. These are ways to make your next purchase a little easier on your wallet.

    Make a real budget
    First, you need to understand all the costs involved and start putting together a real budget for them. Find out how much car you can afford by considering different options. What kind of finance might you be going for? How much can you spend on insurance and fuel costs? Budgeting these will make it clear just what kind of costs you’re in for.


    Exploring your finance options
    There are a lot of different finance options that are available when it comes to getting a car. Dealerships like Imperial Car Supermarket will have different options on offer as soon as you get in the door. So which is best? Keeping the term as short as you can afford is a good idea, as the added costs to tend to be lower, for example.

    Go used
    The obvious choice for getting a car that’s great for your value is going used. If you can take a machine with a few miles on it, you can still get a fine car. Just make sure you make your inspections thorough. If you’re getting from a dealership, look out for Certified Pre-Owned Program cars. Those are ones that have been fully maintained and restored to standard.

    Fix your credit up
    One of the biggest factors that will affect not just your financing options but also your insurance is your credit score. Credit records match how reliable you have been with past debt. The more reliable the record, the better your future deals are likely to be. Fix up your credit score by taking care of any debts you have running. Similarly, you can get it checked for any mistakes that may be impacting it.

    Time your deal
    One of the lesser known factors that can affect the price of a car in dealerships is the timing of the purchase. For example, looking for deals on a weekend is a bad idea. Dealerships get a lot more foot traffic on weekends and they’ll be more willing to negotiate high. After all, there are more chances of catching someone who’ll go high. Conversely, midweek there are fewer customers, so they might be more willing to try snag whichever ones cross their way.

    Buy with cash if you can
    The last tip is the simplest. If you can buy with cash, you’ll save money. If you can’t buy with cash, trying paying off 20% of the purchase with it at least. Similarly, do the same for any extras added onto the car.
