If you can\u2019t secure a discount then don\u2019t under estimate the value of some optional extras instead<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Know your finance options <\/strong><br \/>\nFinance has never been cheaper but to get the best deal do shop around. There are a range of options, including personal loans, hire purchase (HP) and personal contract purchase (PCP). Loans are offered by banks, building societies and credit card organisations so compare interest rates, terms and conditions.\u00a0 With HP you repay, by instalments, the total cost of the car, plus interest. At the end of the contract the car is yours. In contrast, a PCP has lower monthly repayments because you are not paying off the full value of the car. At the end of the contract you have the option of returning the keys, buying the car outright or negotiating another PCP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Take the long view<br \/>\n<\/strong>When it comes to buying always negotiate the total cost rather than a monthly repayment. Often monthly or weekly repayments can conceal an expensive deal. Also you\u2019ll need to factor in running costs, insurance cover, warranties and breakdown cover \u2013 so don\u2019t overstretch yourself and ask the dealer about any hidden fees or costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do the maths<\/strong><br \/>\nCompare loans and finance by APR \u2013 this essentially is the real cost of borrowing money because it includes interest and charges. The lower the APR, the better the finance deal. Remember a longer repayment period reduces the monthly payment, but it will also drive up your total cost negotiate for the highest monthly payment you can comfortably afford as\u00a0 higher monthly payment will get you out of debt faster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Know when to buy<\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes\u00a0 getting a good deal simply depends on the what time of the year you are buying,\u00a0 Convertibles tend to be more expensive during the summer months but it\u2019s a great time to get a bargain 4 x4.<br \/>\nThe end of the year is the very best time to secure a good deal on a new car, as this period just before the new registration plates is also the quietest time in dealerships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Geraldine Herbert<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While there\u2019s nothing quite like driving a new car off the forecourt, first you need to get up to speed on your finance options, writes Geraldine Herbert 1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Haggle Don\u2019t be afraid to haggle before making any car purchase and agreeing on a finance deal.\u00a0 Obviously the more money you are spending on the car [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13303,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[356,2162,117],"tags":[6379,6273,860,6384,6382,6380,6387,503,889,1533,1805,4724,6383,6385,6378,2566,2023,6381,2024,6386,6388],"class_list":["post-9925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-driving-tips","category-i-want-to-buy-a-new-car","category-latest","tag-best-car-finance-deal","tag-buying-a-new-car","tag-car","tag-car-buying-tips","tag-car-finance-apr","tag-car-finance-options","tag-car-running-costs","tag-featured","tag-finance","tag-geraldine-herbert","tag-hire-purchase","tag-hp-finance","tag-negotiate-car-price","tag-new-car-deals","tag-new-car-finance","tag-pcp-finance","tag-pcps","tag-personal-car-loan","tag-repayments","tag-vehicle-finance","tag-when-to-buy-a-car"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>5 Ways to Get the Best New Car Finance Deal - wheelsforwomen.ie<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Buying a new car?
