When you are purchasing your first car, it's important to pinpoint what you need and stay focused on those needs. The Canada Automobile Association club of South Central Ontario has some tips to help you do just that.
CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO) recommends that first-time car buyers do their homework before heading to the dealership. "With the large number of new high-tech vehicles on the market, it's easy to lose sight of your original needs. It's so important for prospective car buyers to shop around," said Ryan Peterson, Manager of Automotive Services, CAA SCO.
The team here at Canada Auto Loan agrees with the CAA of South Central Ontario, but while we think that these are great tips for first-time car buyers, those with damaged credit can benefit from them as well.
6 Must-Know Car Purchasing Tips
CAA SCO recommends the following car buying tips to help make the entire process more efficient and enjoyable:
And, here's a final tip from us: Since you may not be able to get financed for the specific make and model that you may have in mind, research comparable models from a variety of manufacturers. This will allow you to make faster decisions at a dealership, while still being thorough. And if you are buying a used vehicle, be sure to get it inspected by a Red Seal Certified Mechanic as well as an I-Car Platinum body specialist.
