Buying a Car

Questions to ask before you buy.

Before choosing

• Compare new and used options, including the actual warranty and condition.
• List the full purchase costs and running costs for your situation.
• Compare financing terms, including processing fees.

Before the purchase

• Arrange an appropriate test drive and inspection.
• Check that the invoice matches the selected variant.
• Check the actual vehicle, registration, insurance and required documents.

After the purchase

• Keep service records and purchase documents.
• Check registration/ownership steps and insurance requirements with the relevant authority and provider.

Safe driving, registration deadlines and insurance needs depend on the actual situation and current rules. This page is an organizing checklist, not financial, legal or driving advice.
