3 things to consider in finding that perfect car

This is a sponsored post but all opinions are mine.

After the house construction, we wish to replace our decade old SUV. It will be a few years from now but it’s nice to learn and educate myself about cars. I want to learn how to drive too, it will be my third attempt. While everything are just plans, I’m reading up car reviews on Cars.com.

Buying a car is something that you need to contemplate on, it’s an expensive item and sometimes you have to take out a loan from your bank to get your perfect car. Here are 3 things that you need to consider in searching for that perfect car.

1. Family size. You have to consider the size of your family, or the people who will use the car. If you have a big family, you may need an SUV or a van, or if you’re single, then a car or a compact one will be perfect for you.
2. Purpose. Ask yourself why do you need to buy a car? Is it for your business like deliveries? Then, a pick-up is what you need.
3. After-sales service and repair. Maintaining a car is hard at times especially if you need some parts to be replaced. After-sales service is very important as well as if the car parts are readily available in the market.

I only got 3 but I’m still learning a lot from Cars.com site especially their Videos & Reviews section. The articles are really helpful like the best car for first-time buyers, child car seat checks, and multi-car comparisons.

How did you choose your car? What factors did you consider before buying one? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
