LOOKING TO BUY A CAR
|
|
The first thing to consider is if buying is the right thing for you, for example if you are looking to get a new car and change it every 3 years leasing may be a better option for you. You also need to consider if you would be better buying new or used, privately or from a dealer (independent or franchised). To source your car you may be better using the Internet or more traditional off-line media.
Diva Driver hopes to make this process as easy as possible by providing you with all the information you need in order to make the most effective choice for you.

Before purchasing a car it is advisable to find out how much Insurance you will be paying. Remember Insurance quotes can vary considerably from company to company.
Quick Quote - complete the one application form and receive the cheapest quote from over 350 different policies provided by over 30 leading insurance companies. For the majority of people this will be the cheapest quote, if this is not the case call the telephone number you are quoted and the customer care executives will endeavour to reduce the quote further.
Insurance companies give discounts to people for a number of reasons. One of the major factors that can make the cost of insurance is for young people and people who have not had their own insurance policies. If you fall into this catagory it is often worth considering looking for a dealer which is selling cars with free insurance (this insurance is in most cases paid for by the manufacturer rather than the dealer, which means the saving is genuine)
