Owning a car gives you a lot more freedom when it comes to buying a new one. You will have something to trade in, meaning you can get a new car for a lower price. It’s more beneficial than having a car on finance and giving it back after three years, as you will have something of worth that belongs to you.

The first thing to do is to decide on a new vehicle. Find a car in a garage, usually a second hand one, as it will give you some more leverage. Sometimes, new car garages won’t offer a part exchange.

It’s now time to negotiate. See what the car garage will be willing to give you for your car, to bring down the price of the new car you would like to buy. It is good to have the car with you, so they can look it over and be sure of its quality.
