Do your research

 

Currently, there is an amazing amount of information and perspective on new cars and their late-model alternatives on the internet. So get your phone in hand and start looking at all the criteria that may impact your decision. This includes overall cost, fuel consumption, safety, space, and performance.  Once you’ve digested it all, balance it with your gut instincts or chat to someone you trust – Moov team ??. It’s also a good idea to be proactive; if you see someone with a car that you are considering, stop to ask them about their overall experience of the car.

 

Documentation 

So you’ve found the car you want, you’ve assessed your finances, now you need to make sure you’ve got all the right documents in order to make the process of getting the car on the road as smooth as possible. You’ll need to provide the dealer/dealership with a valid driver’s licence, your latest payslip and three month’s bank statements.

 

Choose a good dealer

Again, this comes down to research and with today’s technology, you can do all that research in the palm of your hands. Make use of the resources available to you and learn more about the dealerships that have the car you want. A reputable brand is advisable as these dealerships have to meet rigid guidelines to ensure you, the customer, get the correct service and deal that suits you. Consumer review aggregators can also be insightful – check out TrustPilot, Google Review and Peerview, for example. With Moov, choosing the right dealer is taken care of, with more than 300 reputable dealers supporting Moov, you can rest assured that any match you get will be from a reputable dealer.
