Buying Your Next Car - Dud or Diamond?
While there are good bargains to be had in both the new and second-hand markets, Members should exercise care in finding the right car.
Buying a car, whether new or used, is a major decision and one you may have to live with for years. Before committing yourself to a purchase, Members should obtain a free copy of "Wheels" from Customs Credit Union. Having unbiased, easy to understand information at your fingertips, puts you in a good position to make an informed decision.
Reading a copy of "Wheels" before you set out could save you time, anxiety and even possibly money. The booklet is filled with useful information, tips and checklists designed to help you find the right car at the right price. It will help you answer 'yes' to the following questions:
 Have I shopped around and considered all of my alternatives?
Will this car do all the things I require of it?
Do I feel comfortable and secure driving it?
Does it have the features I most want and need?
Is it sufficiently safe? Can I comfortably afford the total cost?
Is the condition of the car acceptable?
Is the car likely to be reliable?
Has REVS been checked to ensure that there are no encumbrances?
Has the correct age been verified?
Am I sure it is the exact model it is claimed to be?
Am I paying the correct market price (or less) for this model?
Will this car hold its value?
Will I be happy owning and driving it?
