    Finances are probably your biggest worry about a vehicle purchase. We understand that you probably have questions about how it works. Because of that, we have few tips for you on how finances tie into cars! This shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes to read. We hope that you enjoy learning about this interesting stuff!

    Think about your budget

    You must figure out how much money you can put towards the vehicle vs. your other expenses like childcare, rent, medical costs, etc. Keep in mind that that there is the cars base price, then you must factor in periodic maintenance, fuel, car insurance and parking and toll both fees. You really need to consider these monthly expenses, particularly if you’re interested in taking out a loan for your vehicle.

    What are your wants?

    Perhaps you want to have a DVD player in your car. Maybe you want Bluetooth capability, or even wireless internet. However, think about which of those items you need in your vehicle. Will the DVD player keep young passengers happy during long drives? Will Bluetooth be helpful? Would you like to have access to email and social media on your travels? The choices are up to you, and the extra cost of these features lies in your hands.

    Determining a good purchase price

    Once you have decided what you might be able to afford, and have pinpointed a car that you would like to buy, then you need to get yourself at a purchase price. A place to do that is on the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price tool. KBB will give you an idea of what drivers have paid in your area for your vehicle of interest.

     Financing

    As time has passed in the car-buying world, many resources have made themselves available for vehicle buyer financing. The resources include credit unions, banks and car insurance providers. Alternatively, you may set up financing at the dealer. It’s a good idea to make sure that you have good credit, as your credit history does affect the interest rate you will get on your loan. It may be in your best interest to pay your bills on time if you’re not doing so already.

    Tying it All Together

    As we’ve indicated, there are plenty of financial matters to address when looking to purchase your first vehicle. We realize that money is important, and that you work hard for it. Thus, we care about your budgeting and having it be useful towards your own first car! Although buying your first vehicle is something to certainly look forward to, everybody wants you to be satisfied with your purchase and feel that it was money well-spent.

    Final Remarks

    We of course congratulate you on wanting to get your first car, and we hope this article is a resource to refer back to in order to assist you with that process! We would like to thank this Wilmington, DE Ford Dealer for their help on this article!

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
