Tips on how to save for a new car by our Driving Schools Sheffield

Saving for a new car is never an easy task, and every penny counts! Driving Schools Sheffield will give you a few pointers on how to deal with saving for a car.

Our driving schools Sheffield believe that planning is the way forward and this is our first tip to you! Have a sit down and look at the places you can save money. Look at your monthly income to your monthly out goings and see how much spare cash you have. Then take a look where this spare cash is going, by spare cash we mean money that isn't being spend on essential things, your luxury items.

Sacrifice is something you must be willing to do. You must make sacrifices in order to save up for a new car, whether this be only going out once a week instead of two or three times, or not spending a lot of money on designer clothes that aren't necessary. We all love our luxury items, but if you want to achieve the goal of a new car then you must cut these out of your life and if you aren't willing to do this then it will take you a long time to save.

Look at other areas where you could save money, for example if you are already driving a car then try to squeeze as many miles per gallon out of it as is possible. Change up your gears earlier and try to maintain a steady speed. Your driving school should have taught you how to Eco-drive so utilise this and save as much as you can.

Money saving deals are another great way to save money. Sign up to different groups which send you offers and deals. Take advantage of what is available, many places use loyalty cards to keep you coming back, so get one and use them to gain money back every time you shop there! It's a few extra pounds for the piggy bank and will help a lot when saving for a new car.

When it comes to buying a new car you have to think about what you want. Do you want the latest model or are you going for a used one? A brand new car loses 11% of its value as soon as it leaves the vehicle lot where you bought it from. Our driving schools in Sheffield would recommend that if you want a latest year model that you don't go to a dealer, but try to buy it a few months old. You will find doing it this way is a lot cheaper and you will get more for your money.
