Congratulations! It\u2019s an exciting prospect but do you <g class=\"gr_ gr_72 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Style multiReplace\" id=\"72\" data-gr-id=\"72\">also know<\/g> that there are multiple aspects you need to consider before giving away all your money on what seems like the \u201cideal\u201d car?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> A <a href=\"https:\/\/ikman.lk\/en\/ads\/sri-lanka\/vehicles\">vehicle<\/a> is your closest associate, and if you spend quite a lot of time commuting, then the quality and condition of your car can affect you on a daily basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve rounded up five tips that ought to help you make the correct car choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Cost of ownership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> The daily running expenses and maintenance cost will be a constant cash outflow hence why you need to make calculations as accurate as possible before you invest in your <a href=\"https:\/\/ikman.lk\/en\/ads\/c\/sri-lanka\/cars\/new\">new car<\/a>. This includes fuel cost and efficiency, insurance premiums as well as repair costs. Try to keep your car-related expenses to a maximum of about 15-20% of your monthly budget.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Petrol is more expensive than diesel. However diesel variants cost more and can push up maintenance costs. Fuel-efficient cars save you substantial money in the long run. Insurance premiums can go up the more expensive the car is therefore check your possible rates with the insurance company before you buy that vehicle you\u2019re eyeing. Do not neglect the price and availability of replacement parts. That way, you can avoid running into major hassles in the event of any casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Quality &amp; Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to check the interior and exterior with meticulous care. Inspect the vehicle body condition (even if the car is new!) for dents, signs of accidents, and the engine condition. A test drive is crucial \u2013 notice if any unusual noises are emitting or for warnings on the dashboard. Keep an eye (and ear) out for indication of anything peculiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> Apart from that, look out for <g class=\"gr_ gr_180 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"180\" data-gr-id=\"180\">the features<\/g> such as; legroom, storage, comfort and also technology features that comes with the car. Advanced safety features, are other aspects you need to align with your needs. Pay for only <g class=\"gr_ gr_22 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"22\" data-gr-id=\"22\">features<\/g> you need and not for unnecessary technology that isn\u2019t quite what you\u2019re looking for, no matter how fancy and sophisticated it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Mileage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> You don\u2019t find new cars with zero mileage. Moving around the factory, driving to and off the transport when they are sent to dealerships, routine <a href=\"https:\/\/ikman.lk\/en\/ads\/i\/sri-lanka\/auto-services\/maintenance-repair\">maintenance<\/a> and test drives add miles to the odometer, hence why the cars will have a certain mileage even in its pristine condition. However, ensure it is not over-used. There\u2019s no accurate figure of an acceptable mileage for new cars but the lower it is, the better.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Resale Value<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do your research before you purchase a new car. As chances of you selling it off at a <g class=\"gr_ gr_16 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del\" id=\"16\" data-gr-id=\"16\">later<\/g> date when you replace it for any other reason, are a definite possibility. Furthermore, knowing roughly how much it is likely to be worth in the future will also help you make wiser car decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check for the manufacturer year. Older the vehicle, lower the resale value. A vehicle that is widely available in the market is also likely to have a lower resale value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Budget &amp; Finance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always stick to a specific budget before you decide to go \u201ccar shopping\u201d. The numerous options available in the market can make it quite a difficult prospect but proper research will help you negotiate better deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How will you finance the purchase? If full cash payment isn\u2019t viable, then you can opt for a <g class=\"gr_ gr_33 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"33\" data-gr-id=\"33\">bank<\/g> <g class=\"gr_ gr_34 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"34\" data-gr-id=\"34\">loan<\/g> or financing options offered by the dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our teamwork with you to help you identify the best financing options with our partners.
