    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.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
