Are you thinking of changing your car? This month we have prepared a quick guide with some tips you should keep in mind.
Choosing the best car to buy is not just thinking about the model we like and buying it at the price we can afford. A car is an object of use. The choice must be rational. And to be so, you must pay attention to the following:
- Utility: Do you really need that car? Or are you buying an upper segment saloon to do 20 km a day? Even if it's the two-seater Smart, to get from Campo Grande to Saldanha, wouldn't it be better served by public transport? Or even on foot? Every need is a need. Think about yours.
- Segment: Car lovers always want to buy the one they've dreamed of all their life. And it's time to buy the dream van. But for that purpose, there are cars from other segments that can be sufficient and even better for the type of use. Think. Think twice about what you are going to do.
- New/used: The truth: a new car soon loses value as soon as it leaves the stand. But there is another statistically proven fact: a used one spends more on repair and maintenance than a new one. And all the cars are different from each other and have used values that can be very close to new ones. Compare and weigh the risk.
- Brand: The brand matters. Not so much because some are better than others, but because none of them are just bad role models. Just as there are no longer any worthless cars, there are no longer undisputed brands. The sharing of engines and platforms makes it possible to buy an almost identical car under different brands. And with different prices.
- Offer: Is it possible to get a new car with a very relevant difference at a different stand? IT'S. Dealers represent the brands, but they have different commercial policies and needs. In used cars, the opportunities are even more glaring. New cars are similar, but no two used cars are alike.
And never forget: the car is a cost and depreciates with use. Think about all these ponderables before deciding which car to buy.
