If driving your dream car moves you, making sure you achieve it, is our goal. Come to us for expert advice on choosing and financing the car that suits you as an individual.

After the purchase of a home, a car is probably the second largest investment you will ever make. The purchase can sometimes be very tedious, risky and time consuming. You cannot afford to let your dream become a nightmare. Do not worry; we have the expertise, proficiency and passion to assist you through the entire process.

Always remember, buying a new or pre-owned car depends on your financial flexibility, so look at the bigger picture and consider all costs that come into the total ownership equation. Costs of owning your dream car may include, but are not limited to the following:
  • Monthly premiums –there may be periodic interest rate increases so you will need to budget 2% more to allow for increased payments

Also, buying a car should cater for your current and future financial needs, and leave with you the reassurance that it will be reliable, while at the same time keeping up with your tastes.


Helpful Hints

Here are some helpful hints and tips on what to consider when gearing up for your new wheels:

Review your entire budget. If budget is not an issue, consider buying a new car, since you will enjoy the benefit of a maintenance plan, so there are no hidden service-histories. If you have a set budget, then rather look in the market for a dealer certified pre-owned vehicle.

Negotiate the best deal from your motor dealer, be diligent and firm in your negotiations to secure the best deal, and within your budget requirements. New models that are set to hit the market aren’t as easily negotiable since their market value is high and their relative demand also high; but find out if the dealer can offer demo models. If however, you are looking at an older model then negotiate for a price reduction.

Private sales can be risky. When you buy from an individual there is seldom a full service and maintenance history, and should something go wrong with the car after you have paid for it, you may not have any recourse. Most financial institutions do not finance cars that have been bought privately, because of the potential risks.

Any car under a finance agreement belongs to the bank until the total outstanding amount is paid in full. This means you do not have full ownership of the vehicle and cannot sell it without the permission of the bank.
