Driving Down The Price: How To Cut Costs Buying Your Next Car

No matter which way you look at it, buying a car will always be expensive. In fact, for most people, it’s one of the largest investments they make in their lifetime, often second only to property. For this reason, when it comes time to get behind the wheel or replace your car with something new, it’s only natural to want to save as much money as you can. This isn’t always easy, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s impossible or not worth the effort. If you want to get the best deal when buying your next car, here are nine things that you can do to drive down the price.

1. Always Do The Research

The very worst thing that you can do when buying a car is arrive at the lot without knowing anything about the vehicle that you want to buy. Without any knowledge of its typical price range, you could end up paying much more than the norm. For this reason, you should first spend some time researching the vehicle so that you know when you’re being offered a fair deal. You should also shop around and leave some dealerships to find out their rock-bottom offers.

2. Pay With Your Cash

Cars aren’t cheap, which is why most buyers choose to take out some sort of loan to cover the expense. Whether this is from the dealership itself or a high street lender, borrowing money to pay for your car will cost you more in the long run. After all, in addition to the price of the vehicle, you’ll also have to pay interest. Because of this, you may want to pay for your car in cash, if possible. If you have to borrow the money, shop around for the very best financing option for you.

3. Look At Used Vehicles

The value of a brand new car depreciates the moment you drive it off the lot and continues to do so quickly for at least a few years. With that in mind, used vehicles may be the best option. Whether you’re shopping for a Chevy, Hyundai, or something completely different, you’ll find that gently used options are much cheaper than buying brand new. You’ll also avoid a huge chunk of depreciation, which means that your car will have a higher resale value later down the line.

4. Speak To A Professional

The biggest concern with used cars is the possibility of wear and tear, maintenance issues, mechanical problems, and other faults. If you don’t know much about vehicles, you could miss these serious problems, leaving you paying much more than you should for a car that’s going to cost you later. To avoid this, you should have potential purchases checked over thoroughly by a mechanic. This will allow you to haggle a better price or walk away if the car is just not worth it.

5. Show Off Your Status

Students, OAPs, and those with military status are often eligible for discounts or cash back on their purchases. Thankfully, this is no different when buying a car. Because of this, you should look at a few different dealerships online to see if any offer better deals for those with your status. If there’s nothing online that you can find, then give a few a call instead. Just remember to bring along proof of your status when you go to buy your new wheels.

6. Haggle Like A Dealer

When you go to buy a car, whether it be new or used, you need to let the salesperson know up front that you won’t be taken for a ride. Do absolutely everything that you can to knock the purchase price down by starting with an outrageous figure and working backward. It can feel incredibly awkward at first, but, if you stick to your guns, it can work out ridiculously well. If you’re not good at haggling, then bring along someone that you trust to do it for you or back you up.

7. Keep Trade-Ins A Secret

Trading in your old car is a great way to knock some money off the cost of your new one. However, you shouldn’t mention your trade-in right away. Instead, hold your cards close to your chest and work to haggle a better deal first. Then, only once the dealer is at the very lowest that they will go, work to get the most for your old car. If you mention your trade-in right away, the salesperson may try to use this information against you and charge you more than usual.

8. Don’t Purchase Any Extras

A new car is a huge purchase, and, if you pay for it with borrowed money, you could be left making repayments for years to come. For this reason, you should avoid doing anything that might drive up the price. Purchasing add-ons and other modifications are one way to do this. While your salesperson may say that you need a built-in GPS and rust-proofing, you have to remember that you don’t. Their job is to make money, but yours is to spend as little as you can.

9. Choose The Right Time

Unless you’re on the clock, you should hold off from buying your new wheels until the right time. Salespeople and dealerships have targets to meet, which are typically based on quarterly sales. This means that March, June, September, and December are good months to shop, as lots will be trying their hardest to sell more cars. You can also choose the right time from your style of car. Convertibles, for example, are cheaper in the winter when fewer of them are sold.

Cars are an expensive purchase, but they can be made less so with some thought and careful planning. Make sure that you research every part of the process and educate yourself on your chosen vehicle so that you can go into negotiations well-prepared. You should also avoid any unnecessary extras and consider shopping for a used car instead of a brand new one. As long as you follow this advice, you should have no trouble driving down the price.

Like all of the world’s best car brands, Audi’s require a certain level of care and maintenance to stay working properly and looking the part. That is why it’s so essential that all Audi drivers are so clued up when it comes to the maintenance of their vehicles – if you want your Audi to stand the test of time, you need to treat it like the quality care it is and ensure that regular maintenance is taken seriously, just like you take the maintenance of your driver’s license seriously, by using resources like https://dmvconnect.com/fl-florida/ to ensure that you are clued up on what you need to do to ensure that your license remains in use.

Invest In Regular Check-Ups

It’s essential that if you want to ensure that your Audi stands the test of time and is affordable to maintain that you opt to invest in regular check-ups for it at your local Audi dealership. The fact is that while you could book your car into a regular garage, if you want your Audi to recieve the very best care, you need to choose a dealership garage, so that the team taking care of your car have all of the skills, experience and knowledge needed to provide the very best service possible.

By opting to have your car reguarly checked over by an Audi garage, you can ensure that if there is an issue with it, the issue is noticed early and can be dealt with more easily. The sooner a vehicle issue is spotted, the easier and more affordable it is to treat, so having regular checkups is essential for ensuring that it remains in a ‘healthy’ condition.

Check Those Signals

It’s essential for Audi owners to regular do a lap around their vehicle to check whether all of their signal lights are working as they should be. Ask a friend to help you check your car’s signals by asking you to turn on each lighting signal in turn while they check that each is working as it should be doing.

Check your turn signals, hazard lights, brake lights, headlights, and main beam, in addition to any other lighting that your Audi may have in its design. By completing this task, you can ensure that your car’s signals are all in good order, before you head out onto the road. As the last thing you want is your Audi getting given a ticket or worse, being impounded by the police for breaking the law and being unfit to drive.

Check Your Oil

Once you take it out, you then examine the tip of the stick and see where the oil mark is – this shows you how much oil your car has and whether it needs more oil adding to it.

Take note of the tips and pieces of advice above and you can ensure that your Audi has a long and healthy life, standing the test of time for many years, making the investment worthwhile.

As an Audi fan, you probably think there’s a fair bit of bias here! On the contrary, there’s a reason why this blog is all about Audi and not Mercedes, VW, BMW – or any other car manufacturer. The simple fact of the matter is that this German car brand is the best, it’s better than all the rest!

If you need some convincing, there are are a few reasons to buy an Audi in 2019:

3 Reasons Audi’s Are Better Than All The Rest

Setting The Standards For Car Tech

We all know that technology is absolutely thriving in modern automobiles. But, it’s a fact that Audi is ahead of the mainstream competition. Their latest releases are packed full of some of the most advanced technology you’ll ever see. From making the driving experience much more comfortable to safety tech that means you’ll never be calculating the cost of a car accident ever again; they have everything. It’s fair to say that most manufacturers are simply trying to catch up with Audi at this point. So, if you want a car with tomorrows tech today, then buy an Audi.

A Car For Everyone

Audi just has the most impressive lineup of cars you’ll see on the market. There’s quite literally a car to suit every driving style and one for every type of person. If you need a supermini to drive through cities, then the Audi A1 is perfect for you. If you need a family car, then you have so many options in the form of pretty much everything from the A3 up to the Q8. Fancy an electric vehicle? Then check out the video below to see the new E-Tron in action. Want a supercar that turns heads? Then the R8 fits the bill. Or, for a fast sports car that’s highly affordable, you have the classic TT. There are no two ways about it; Audi has the best roster of cars out there right now, and there’s bound to be an option for you.

Impeccable Style & Quality

Everything about these cars is stylish. With some brands, you almost don’t know what you’re going to get. It could be a hit or a miss; you’re making a gamble. With Audi, you’re only ever going to get quality. Even their adverts are of extremely high quality! I honestly don’t think I’ve seen a genuinely negative review for an Audi car yet. Every single model serves a purpose, and you’ll regularly find a car from this manufacturer in the Top 10 lists for each vehicle type. Visually speaking, every model is absolutely stunning and sets a new standard for how cars should look. The Audi grille and LED lights are becoming iconic, and it’s no wonder that they’re used for so many corporate cars! If you want to look good and turn heads, then get an Audi.

If I had the time, I could go on all day about what makes this brand so unique. But, these are my top three reasons Audi are better than all the rest. If you’re looking to buy a new car in 2019, then there’s really only one place to look.

Saving Face

We’re promised that warm weather is right around the corner but wherever you are in the world, you’ll be well aware of the impact the climate has on your skin. You may not be particularly vain but no one wants to feel the uncomfortable sensation that is dry, tight skin and the impact an icy, cold blast can have on your freshly shaved face.

That’s why we’ve put together this first aid skin survival kit for men who really don’t want to spend too much time thinking about it. We’ve searched health and lifestyle bloggers to get the latest information on skin care and how you can maintain your look while keeping it low key.

Spend A Little, Gain A Lot

You don’t have to spend hundreds on the latest skincare routine but you should invest in some quality products. You wouldn’t buy a second rate phone. So treat your skin with the same respect and you’ll reap the benefits.At the lower end of the budget we recommend Nivea, a tried and tested brand where you’ll be able to pick up moisturizers and shaving products alongside deodorant and other toiletries. If you’re willing to make a little more of an investment then splash out on Haeckel’s Eco Marine Extract Facial Cream. Don’t be fooled by all the natural ingredients, this is no lightweight and will add some serious hydration to your dry skin.

Extra

That might do you but you know deep down that looking after your skin is the way to go so go the extra mile and invest in some exfoliating products. The practice of exfoliating your skin at least once a week will help get rid of all the dead skin cells, help combat dry areas and reveal fresh glowing skin, even when you don’t feel either fresh or glowing on a cold morning.

Make it a part of your weekly ritual and you’ll barely even notice yourself doing it.

If you have a beard then you may already use a beard oil to keep your furry fuzz looking sharp but if not then think about investing. Beard oil does more than tame a few stray hairs, it also helps maintain the luster and shine of your facial hair and helps keep it in great condition, especially in cold weather. The knock on effect is that the skin below will also benefit from a well-maintained beard and feel less itchy.

For the clean-shaven man, protection is the name of the game. Make sure you’re using a shaving product that nourishes your face as well as giving you an easy glide. Follow up your shave with a soothing balm; don’t leave it to the mercy of the elements.

The last bathroom product you bought might have been from the bathrobes for men department five years’ ago but it’s time to up your game and start looking after that face of yours, it’s the only one you have. Nourish, care and protect and always wear sunscreen.

The Commandments Of Motorbiking (Break Them And You’ll Be In Trouble!)

Hogs, lowrider, speedsters, or classic bikes. They are all wonderful in their own way, but one thing is for sure, and that is that you need to know and keep the motorbiking commandments. If you want to keep riding for a long time that is. Luckily, you can find out all about these in the post below. Keep reading to discover what they are.

Thou shalt enjoy it

It goes without saying really, but the key to owning and riding any bike is that you actually enjoy it! Of course, to enjoy your ride you need to be confident in your skills and that it’s what it’s well worth investing in some comprehensive lesson beforehand.

In fact, even if you have a lot of experience out on the road, learning some advanced skill like defensive riding can really help you enjoy your time in the saddle all the more, and isn’t that what it should be all about?

Thou shalt ride safely

Next, when it comes to riding a bike as opposed to driving a car, you need to realize that safety plays a significant factor. After all, you aren’t as protected as you are when traveling inside a vehicle, and because you take up less room on a bike, it can be harder for other drivers to see you as well. Then there are those drivers that don’t respect motorbiker like they should or allow them the same to do what they need to do either.

To this end, the responsibility for safety will often fall on you, not just in the way that you ride but through looking out for other riders and driver as well. Of course, no matter how good you are at this, on occasion accidents can happen all the same, and this can be something that can cost you dearly both concerning your health and repairs that your bike will need after, to get it on the road again.

However, it is wise to remember that even if you are a victim of a motorbike accident you can find a lawyer today that will help you come up with a case against the responsible party. Something that can result in compensation for any medical or repair bills you do end up incurring.

Thou shalt dress the part

When it comes to motorbiking commandments one that you cannot ignore is to dress the part. In fact, dressing correctly not only will make sure that you look as fly as possible while on your ride, but it can also help you be comfortable as well.

To that end, investing in the proper gear like boots and gloves is a great idea, as then you know you can keep your extremities nice and toasty warm. No matter how much the cold wind whips around our as you ride!

That shalt protect your ride from the weather

Lastly, it isn’t just the rider that needs protection from the weather, but the steed as well. What that means is that it’s crucial you have a nice dry spot to store your bike while it’s not in use. Otherwise, your bike may not be ready when you need it, and that really would be a sin!
