A QUICK GUIDE TO BUYING YOUR FIRST SPORTS CAR NICK TSAGARIS

OWNING A FANCY, HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPORTS CAR

Owning a fancy, high-performance sports car is the ultimate dream of many. Sleek good looks, agile handling and of course the spirited performance; such is the charm of sports cars that they dominate a large segment of new car markets and the motorsports industry.

But did you ever think what it really takes to be the proud owner of a modern sports car? No, it’s not just the extortionate initial price. There’s a lot more that the price to consider such as high maintenance costs and insurance premiums.

 FIRST THINGS FIRST: BUDGET FOR YOUR CAR You planned to buy your longstanding dream car, Chevrolet Camaro. But just the night before you actually visit a Chevrolet showroom, this exceptionally beautiful stylish Ford Mustang model on page of a daily magazine catches your attention.

You’re fascinated by the car instantly but get upset as you realise there’s no way you can buy that car without taking a loan or breaking the bank. How about you avoid getting lured to that kind of temptation in the first place.

Figure out the maximum amount you can invest in your dream car and this will automatically narrow down your options.

ďƒ˜ KNOW YOUR LIFESTYLE

Buying a sports car is not just a luxury but an experience you will cherish for a lifetime. Before making a significant financial investment, determine what your needs are and will be years from now.

A sports car might not be suitable for everyday errands such as grocery shopping or dropping kids at the school. If you are regularly travelling with more than two people, a two-seater model will not be a good option. Consider your lifestyle to make a rewarding buying decision.

ďƒ˜ LOOKS VS PERFORMANCE

What would you like just a fine-looking coupe that manages to turn heads when taken on the road or want to experience the ultimate driver engagement?

Though all sports cars flaunt a sleek intriguing design and lavish interiors, some models are formulated for dynamic performance and exceptional handling such as Ferrari 812 superfast and Chevrolet Corvette Z06.

CONCLUSION

In addition to these considerations, it is crucial to do extensive research to know your options well. Certain features, engines and designs are more favoured than others in the marketplace which may vary from model to model.

While at it, it would be a good idea to consult with an automotive expert to make sure your purchase turns out to be an investment.
