Buying a new car can be intimidating. Frankly, what you don't know can hurt you. Here are a few things to consider when buying a new car.

Budget. When you want to buy a new car it is important that you know how much you are willing to spend. Car experts advise drivers not to spend more than 15 to 20 per cent of their monthly salaries on car expenses.

Test drive. This is very important for all drivers interested in buying a new car. A test drive will tell you so much about the vehicle you are looking to buy as well as help you decide what whether or not

Inspect your car. Before you take possession of your new car, give it a detailed inspection, both inside and out. Check for any damage or unexpected wear and tear. Address any concerns with the salesperson before handing over a check.

Don't rush. It is important you do your research and take your time when shopping for a new car. Ensure you visit several dealerships that way you can compare and contrast cars. Remember, the salesperson is on commission and their job is to sell you a car the day you visit.
