subject: Used Cars Come In All Shapes And Sizes [print this page] Nowadays, learning to drive is one of the many rites of passage that young people go through. You can get your licence at 16, and can be driving around for years to come. There is always the problem of getting yourself a car that you can afford, and unless your parents are willing to help you in buying your first car you could find that your driving licence goes to waste for a good while before you can afford to buy your own car.
With the high prices of car insurance, you may think that buying a car is more hassle than it is worth, but if you do your research correctly you could see yourself making a large saving on the cost of your new vehicle, which will definitely benefit you in the long run. Also, if you shop around to find the ideal car insurance to suit you, you will be able to save money there too. You can request as many car insurance quotes as you like in your search for car insurance to match your budget, so dont be afraid to look on a few different websites or give companies a call to talk to an advisor.
Whether your parents will be helping you to buy your car or not, getting a used car on finance is an excellent way of spreading the cost over a number of months, so you wont have to deliver the total cost of the car upfront. Most used car companies do have a number of parameters that you will need to meet though, such as working a certain number of hours and earning over a set amount per month. This is just to ensure that you can afford the repayments on your car though.
If you go online now and search for a used car showroom near you, you will be able to look through a range of vehicles available to buy on finance. Once you have found one that you like you can start filling in the paperwork. The showroom will run a credit check on you and, once you have passed it, you can go to the showroom in person and test drive the car you have chosen so that you can get a feel for it and see if you like it. If you are happy you can make your first payment and drive off with your new car on the same day.
