- Obtain your finance. Trustar can help you with your loan before you go shopping for a car. This way, you know how much you can spend and will feel more confident in negotiating a better deal from the vendor.
- Shop for your car. There are a number of places you can look for a car, each have their share of advantages and disadvantages.
Lease or buy?
Leasing may involve lower monthly payments than a car loan but this is often because you are only paying off a portion of the vehicle’s value, leaving a ‘residual’ amount at the end of the lease period. And at the end, you will not own the car. Leasing is often promoted as a cheaper way to finance a car because of the tax advantages it can bring for the self-employed or those who take out a novated lease through their employers. This is not necessarily the case and really depends on how much mileage will be clocked up overall, what proportion is for work purposes, and what tax rate you are on.
