Every side is the best side. Seven steps to buying a new car
Buying a new car is a big decision for any Ipswich family, here are our
top seven steps to follow when buying a new car.
1. IDENTIFY YOUR NEEDS
Think about what you’ll be using the car for, whether it be travelling
to work in city traffic, taking the family on off-road adventures, going
on lots of long road-trips or something else. Do you need a compact
car, one for rough terrain or a car with a high safety rating?
Ensure the vehicle has enough storage space, seats, towing capacity
and comfort to suit your lifestyle and your family. Fuel efficiency is
also an important factor that is often overlooked.
Gadgets are another way to upgrade your ride and enhance
your experience on the road. Many car models now give buyers
the option to include reverse parking cameras, blind spot assist
ABN Holders – see if you can claim under the $150k Instant Asset Write Off.^ technology and front cameras. Comfortable or heated seats, decent
room and even cup holders can make the difference for those who
spend a lot of their time behind the wheel.
2020 Model Runout Event Car buyers also need to think ahead, will that two-door sports car
work for a growing family? Alternatively, is it necessary to buy an SUV
when you’re planning on downsizing?
2. RESEARCH
Once you’ve decided on what’s best for you and your lifestyle, it’s
time to find a car that fits the bill.
There are so many websites that can help you find facts and stats
on different types of cars. Check out the car’s safety rating, fuel
efficiency, additional extras, practicality, size and cost.
RACQ also offers a great range of professional car reviews.

4. INSPECTION
Always have a used car inspected by a qualified mechanic before
you buy it. A safety certificate isn’t a substitute for a comprehensive
vehicle inspection.
Make it a priority to also get a Personal Property Security Register
check to determine if there is any money owing on the vehicle from
the previous owner, or if it is listed as stolen or written off.
5. CONSULT WITH YOUR PREFERRED DEALER
There’s a lot of competition out there so make sure you deal with
someone you get along with. A car purchase is not just the upfront
purchase, it’s the longevity of servicing for the term that you have
