    Are you planning to buy a car? Great! But before you start visiting dealerships, there are a few things you should know. There are a lot of things to consider before buying a car. You have to think about what kind of car you want, how much you can afford to spend, and your needs. This blog post will discuss six must-know tips before buying a car. With these tips, you can be sure that you will find the perfect car for you. Let’s get started.

    Insurance Costs

    One of the things you need to consider before buying a car is the insurance costs. You will need to get car insurance no matter what car you buy. The coverage for your vehicle will depend on the make and model of your car. Some cars will have higher insurance rates than others. Also, different insurance companies will charge different rates. You should shop around and compare rates before you buy a car.

    When checking on the insurance cost, it is essential to consider the deductibles. A deductible is the amount of money you have to pay before your insurance company pays for damages. For example, if you have a $500 deductible and get into an accident that causes $1000 in damages, you will have to pay the first $500, and your insurance company will pay the rest.

    Maintenance Costs

    Another thing to consider before buying a car is the maintenance costs. Some cars are more expensive to maintain than others. For example, luxury cars or sports cars may require higher quality parts and frequent tune-ups. If you’re not sure how much it will cost to maintain a car, you can ask the dealer or look online for estimates.

    Besides this, you will also need to think about how often you’ll need to take your car in for service. This will depend on the make and model of your car. Some cars may only require service once a year, while others may need it every few months. Be sure to ask about this before you buy a car.

    Fuel Costs

    Another essential factor to consider is the fuel costs. Different cars have different fuel efficiency ratings. You can find this information online or in the car’s owner’s manual. The fuel efficiency rating will tell you how many miles per gallon (MPG) the car gets.

    For example, if a car has a fuel efficiency rating of 30 MPG, it will use about one gallon of gas for every 30 miles you drive. If you do a lot of driving, you’ll want to choose a car with a high fuel efficiency rating. But if you only drive a few miles each day, you may be able to get by with a car with a lower fuel efficiency rating.

    Upfront Costs

    The upfront costs are the costs you’ll need to pay when you first buy the car. This includes the purchase price, taxes, and fees. You’ll also need to think about how you’ll pay for the car. If you’re taking out a loan, you’ll need to factor in the down payment, interest rate, and monthly payments.

    If you’re paying cash for the car, you’ll need to have enough money saved up to cover the entire cost of the car. Be sure to consider these costs before buying a car. Ensure that you have the money available to pay for the car and that you can afford the monthly payments, if applicable.

    Perform an Online Competitive Comparison

    Once you have considered all of the factors above, it is time to start looking for cars. These days, you can do a lot of research online. You can learn about different makes and models, read reviews, and compare prices.

    It would be best if you also visited different dealerships to test drive cars. This will give you a good idea of what you like and don’t like. Be sure to take your time when making a decision. Don’t feel pressured to buy a car you’re not sure about. If possible, wait a few days before making a final decision. This will give you time to think about it and make sure that you’re making the right choice.

    Research the Dealership

    Once you’ve found a car you’re interested in, it’s time to research the dealership. You can look online to see any complaints about the dealership. You can also ask your friends or family if they have had any experience with the dealership.

    It’s essential to find a reputable dealership with which you feel comfortable doing business. Be sure to get the car’s VIN and run a history report. This will tell you if the car has been in any accidents or if it has any other problems.

    When you’re buying a car, it’s essential to do your research and consider all costs involved. Be sure to look online for reviews and compare prices at different dealerships. It’s also a good idea to get a car history report to ensure that the car you’re interested in is in good condition. By following these tips, you can be sure that you’re making a wise decision when buying a car.

    • 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.

    • 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?
