Let's look at the key aspects that you should pay attention to when choosing.
Basics
Before deciding to buy your first car, it is important to consider aspects such as comfort and safety, taking into account the condition and type of roads you plan to drive on.
The presence of elements such as airbags, as well as anti-lock and stabilization systems, is mandatory. These features will help protect inexperienced drivers, especially in slippery conditions.
The second important aspect is cost. This is followed by a list of tasks that the machine must perform. As you can see, a lot of attention is paid to details. We will try to deal with each of them, starting with the question that worries many — what is more profitable: buying a used car or buying a new one.
Set a purchase goal
It is worth correctly identifying the car model, comfort and functionality will depend on this:
General purpose vehicles are designed to travel on hard surfaces. This category includes sedans and hatchbacks, which usually seat up to five passengers.
Station wagons, on the other hand, are off-road vehicles that can be used on a variety of roads, including unpaved roads. They often have a spacious trunk and are excellent for large families.
SUVs are designed for use in any conditions, including difficult terrain. This is an excellent choice for those who want to travel in a variety of conditions. They usually have high fuel consumption, significant size and high ground clearance.
If you plan to travel through difficult terrain, it is advisable to choose a manual transmission, as the automatic may not cope.
Sports cars designed for good road conditions have powerful engines and a low center of gravity. Most often they are aimed at two passengers and are ideal for those who value speed and driving dynamics.
Recycled or new car from the showroom?
The question that every newbie on the road asks.
Modern cars are highly reliable and, as a rule, have a warranty period. However, if you're on a budget, buying a used car can be a great opportunity to find quality, affordable transportation with the features you need. You can get acquainted with a good selection of reliable cars on our website CAR4RU.
It is worth remembering that with each year of use the cost of the car decreases, and it becomes possible to save up to 50 percent or even more. However, used cars may not be in perfect technical condition. There is a risk of additional costs for repairs and replacement of components. Therefore, it is important to conduct thorough technical diagnostics and check the car's history through special databases before making a purchasing decision.
Determining the level of expenses
First, set a budget that you are willing to allocate for the purchase of your car. Which car is suitable for a novice driver? A very expensive car is not the best choice.
No matter which model you choose, it will take some getting used to. It is important to learn to sense the size of the car, predict potential road hazards, remember difficult sections of the route and maneuver confidently. Without sufficient experience, the risk of vehicle damage increases significantly.
The main thing is to choose the first car that will be reliable and at the same time affordable in terms of maintenance costs.
When calculating the cost of a car, it is important to consider the following costs:
1) The main expenses include the cost of compulsory motor liability insurance. This policy must be issued annually. Without it, it is impossible to register a vehicle with the traffic police, as well as drive it without the risk of getting a fine or being left without paying for damage in the event of an accident. Insurance rates for novice drivers are usually higher, but with driving experience and fewer accidents, the cost of insurance decreases (in the Russian Federation, prices for the service start at 40 thousand rubles for a driver with zero experience; $400) It is important to drive carefully, avoid incidents, and next year you can count on a lower insurance price.
2) Fuel. Fuel costs are an important budget item. Before buying a car, it is important to evaluate its fuel efficiency and pre-calculate how much money you will need for fuel.
3)Maintenance. The cost will depend on the class of the vehicle.
4) Repair. As a car ages, the likelihood of it breaking down increases. Make sure the necessary parts and services are available for repairs.
5) Parking. Determine in advance where you plan to leave the car and how much it might cost.
There are many additional costs associated with buying a car: taxes, winter and summer tires, washing, dry cleaning, and so on. Before purchasing a car for a new driver, it is important to analyze the potential costs and find out if this level of expense is right for you.
