Economic uncertainty due to the war in Ukraine, and the Israel-Palestine conflict only makes it difficult for consumers. The high price of fuel and the difficulties in obtaining loans at a reasonable interest add to the need to have appropriate vehicles to access Low Emission Zones, mandatory in cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants.
Now that the European Union has relaxed the deadlines and emission limits for new combustion cars, diesel and gasoline cars once again enter the pools of those who want to buy a car with the C (green) badge with which they can access the center. of cities. But the prices are not cheap (the most affordable is around 13,500 euros), and that is why the need arises to look for the best offers.
According to Ignacio García Rojíanalyst Sumauto, approaching the purchase of a car is a task that must evolve towards a more rational than passionate model. “We should no longer think so much about the car we like, but about the one we need, since the difference between what we like and what we need can be abysmal,” he says. According to Rojí, it is very important to be clear about how you are going to pay.
On many occasions, we mistakenly stick to the final price of the car, when we should think more about the maximum monthly amount that we can comfortably pay and taking advantage of the different forms of acquisition that exist in the market, in addition to traditional financing (flexible financing, renting or subscription). “We will end up paying more, but in exchange we will be able to access more comfortably even a higher or better equipped model,” he explains.
Unlike previous cycles, comparing prices between different distributors of the same brand is no longer as successful. However, comparison is still necessary in terms of delivery times or availability. The step that we should never ignore is testing the car and, if possible, not limiting ourselves to traditional courtesy tests, taking advantage of the options that brands and other actors offer to carry out a more extensive and realistic test.
