    Car Becoming A Drain On Finance? These Saving Tips Could Help

    Cars can sometimes seem like a constant drain on our finances. You need to pay for insurance, tax, wear and tear, MOT, batteries, the list goes on and on. Sure, they can cost a lot, but we put up with it for the added convenience a car offers. Yet, there are lots of ways you can actually save money on cars instead of having to shell out all of the time. You can save money in various areas of your car that can amount to hundreds a year just by being a little bit more diligent and taking the time to make sure you’re getting your monies worth. Here are some tips to get you started.

    Don’t Accept The First Parts Offered By A Mechanic

    If you get your car fixed then a mechanic will likely suggest parts that they will procure to fix your vehicle. Never get the most expensive ones. They cost you loads, but the mechanic will get them at trade prices. Sure, you may want the better stuff for your car but actually think about whether you need it or not. Sometimes the cheaper parts are just as good for your car as the more expensive materials and all you need to do is ask whether there are cheaper options available, don’t just ask for the bill and settle, question it. You can probably find cheaper parts elsewhere too, there are always deals to be had, such as this advance auto parts coupon code. Buy them, then take the parts to the mechanic, they won’t mind because they’ll still get money for labour costs.

    Always Change Insurance Provider

    Each year your insurance will automatically renew, giving you the option of continuing with your current provider or swapping to another. You need to be on it, because if you don’t do anything it will automatically renew at a higher price. Even if the price they offer you is lower, you still need to get some quotes from other providers because you could save even more money or get more for your money such as breakdown recovery. The best way to do this is to compare all the prices against each other and see which best suites yourself. You’ll be surprised by how much you can save and often people find themselves saving hundreds. Start your comparison here.

    Be Weary Of All Dealerships

    Dealerships are where you can save the most money. So you’re buying yourself a new car and like the look of one at a local dealership, that’s fine, people do it every day. But there are so many things you need to bear in mind. Always haggle. No exceptions. You can always knock the price down by hundreds if not thousands. If for some reason they really can’t take any more money off the car then you can have some additionals thrown in like new tires. If you don’t urgently need a new car then remember they cost more money during different times of the year. A sporty convertible for example will cost more in the summer, a big SUV more in winter, so purchase them at opposite times for a greater saving. Question everything, and if you don’t think you’ll need an add on tell them you don’t want it. Be firm, and really make sure you get the best deal and don’t get ripped off.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
