Should I Buy a New Car?

Is a used car a better option for me? Or perhaps I should just stick with the vehicle I currently have? So many questions when it comes to making sure you have a reliable car that will get you where you want to go, when you want to get there. First, let's deal with whether or not you should keep that old clunker you have now. There are a few simple questions you should ask yourself. Are you unhappy with the vehicle? If so, move forward with the process of choosing something new. If you're not dissatisfied, then why complicate your life right now? Surely there are other things that you could consider spending your time and money on. Are you spending much money on that vehicle you have now? If so, is it more than you'd spend on monthly payments for a new or used car? This can be tricky for some people to figure out. Often times car repairs only come every few months. But the total figure is astronomical. Sound familiar? If so, average out what you've paid over the past several months and you get your monthly payment amounts. Once you decide what you can or will afford monthly, some other aspects to consider are your insurance payments, maintenance and upkeep, garaging fees, and anything else that might cost you money in order to own and operate a vehicle.
