Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

That's probably what it is.

You always want them to give you a written total figure on the car before discussing how it'll be paid for.

If you have outside finance or pay cash, definitely don't...

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

Yeah, we've got a couple of those, but the naff round ones...if I ever remember to use them, they're good for the steering wheel...it's the seat belt buckle that always burns :lol:

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

Dark will get hot, but it's really having a dark interior that will make the biggest difference.

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

They're great if you're planning on keeping the car till you scrap it or hand it on to your kids.

Not great if you plan on trading it in in a few years time as they depreciate pretty harshly.

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

Ask around....who I use won't help you.

As for getting quotes, you are speaking to people right? Not using the online tool? That won't give you a real number because it won't take into account...

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

That's true, except higher end cars...but the real saving is in the insurance.

And on a side note, another thing against leases for anyone who lives in a ding happy state if the small print...

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

And depending on the state, second hand too....which is why it's worth finding out what the lemon laws are.

In MA, they're actually pretty decent for anything with less than 65K on the clock...

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

That's going to really boil down to budget and mileage.

Sounds like you'll be driving a lot, so that'll rule the lease out.

So do you want to spend a lot up front and not worry about it, or...

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

You know what kind of cars you want already. It's a case of sorting the deal and the money and a final test run because even if you went to the dealers now, you aren't going to learn anything that...

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

Do it all online then....find what you want, get them to price it, forward details to other dealers.

Call the top couple that you like and say this is the deals I've got and what I want and have...

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

Depending on location...VW can be a lot more costly to maintain if anything were to go wrong. Saying that, if you're buying new and the warranty is good, it becomes less of a issue..

Re: Where do I start? Buying a car

Maintenance as a factor?
