    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.

    • 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.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • 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.
