Get My Auto Offers Budgeting Checklist for Used Car Buyers

IRVINE, Calif., December 11, 2017 (Newswire.com) - When shopping for a new or used vehicle, buyers always want to make the smartest financial decisions possible. A big part of this is building a proper budget and accounting for all the expenses that accompany vehicle ownership. Get My Auto has codified some of these expenses in the form of a new budgeting checklist; the company has also released a statement to the press, expounding on these important financial principles.

“The first thing to budget for is, of course, the car itself,” Get My Auto notes. “For some buyers, this means setting aside enough money to buy the car outright, using cash. For others, it means planning for monthly car payments and also a small down payment, if possible.”

But simply buying the vehicle is only the first step in the process. There are other costs that come with vehicle ownership, like insurance. “Driving without insurance is not only unwise but in most states, it’s also illegal,” comments Get My Auto. “It’s always smart to build these insurance premiums into your monthly budget.”

Repair and maintenance costs should also be considered. “Even with a brand-new car, it’s important to plan for things like oil changes and eventually a new set of tires,” notes the Get My Auto press statement.

Gas is another budgetary consideration. “This expense varies, depending on whether you buy a traditional gas-fueled car or a hybrid, but it needs to be in your budget either way,” reveals Get My Auto.

This checklist may initially seem daunting but Get My Auto says it is always possible to get a great value on a vehicle. “Buy used from a reputable used car dealership in your neighborhood,” the company advises. “That’s the best way to maximize your bang for buck.”
