Get Your Dream Car, No Matter Your Credit.
Highbeam Cars will make it EASY
From buying used vehicles from Car Dealers in Auckland to financing options to loan terms, this post has everything you need to know about getting your dream car on a budget.
We all dream of having that perfect car, but the problem is that the perfect car usually comes with a price tag that's way higher than what we can afford.
I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be like that, and I'll even show you how you can get your dream vehicle for less than what you think.
What’s your budget?
Sometimes we're tempted to go for that expensive new car, but what we don't realize is that it can be cheaper to buy a used one. We always think of depreciation as something bad, but if you buy a used car and sell it after five years, it would've depreciated less than a new car.
Take the cost of the average new vehicle on finance or lease and divide it by 10. You'll find that you're actually not saving much on the sticker price over five years with those methods.
Used cars also present an opportunity to get more features for your money. A new car will come with a warranty and some type of limited coverage on parts and labor, but if you buy a used car from someone who has been maintaining it well, you can get those same benefits.
However, there are some drawbacks to buying used cars, too: It's harder to know the history of the vehicle so there's no guarantee that everything is in working order or that something won't just stop working soon after purchase. Be sure to have a mechanic check out any vehicle before you buy it!
