30 Ways on How to Save Money for a Car

-

How to save money for a car
  1. Buy fuel efficient car
  2. Buy last year’s model - not a current model
  3. Better, buy a second hand car.
  4. Buy a car with cheap and readily available spare parts (generally, japanese cars have cheaper and readily available spare parts, for example: Toyota and Honda).
  5. But, don’t buy a car that is too old, because the cost of repairs, maintenance and insurance could be more expensive than a newer car.
  6. Buy with cash instead of loan. It is cheaper this way.
  7. Use salary sacrifice, if you are eligible for this. This lowers down your tax bracket. In return, you lower your tax payable. Thus, you save more money.
  8. Use Corporate Program, depending on the program, but most offers free services, free tyres and free brake pads.
  9. Buy car with good resale value.
  10. Sell your old car on your own (advertise it online), avoid trading in your old car with the dealer. Selling your old one online on your own fetches more money than selling it to a dealer.
  11. If buying new, try to haggle with the salespersons
  12. Also, get him (the salespersons) to put in as many free options as possible.
  13. And come prepared - well-researched. Don’t obtain information about the car, the prices and other cars from the salesperson, but get those information from the net, before you go to the dealership.
  14. Dealership located far from the CBD may offer lower price.
  15. Try to go to a salesperson whom you or your friend’s had previous dealings with. This way they can offer you ‘friendship’ discount.
How to save money on car's operational costs  

  1. Car share or carpool with your colleagues or uni/school friends.
  2. Service regularly. This will prevent major catastrophes that could be costlier than regular services.
  3. Change your oil or fluid regularly
  4. Use the right fluid or oil for your car.
  5. Rotate your tyres yearly.
  6. Clean your air filter.
  7. Don’t drive your car on long driving holiday trips. Rent a budget car for this. This will save your car mileage.
  8. use Fuel Discount dockets to buy fuel.
  9. Re-fuel  only when fuel price is low. Check fuel price app before refueling.
  10. Use premium fuel only if required.
  11. Drive responsibly - accelerating rapidly, going fast, frequent breaks and breaking hard will use up more fuel.
  12. When you’re idle (parked and waiting), turn off the engine.
  13. Sparingly use AC.
  14. Keep your tyres inflated.
  15. Drive less - walk/cycle more. It is healthier too.

1. Know exactly all of your expenses . List all of your expenses - write all of them down to the specific and exact details. Know exactly the following detail about your expenses: i). What are they? Gas bill, electricity bill, water bill,  hot water bill, food or grocery bill, home phone & internet bill,  mobile phone bill, private health insurance bill, public transport tickets, fuel costs, car insurance bill, home insurance bills (building & content insurance, or renter's insurance), rent or mortgage payment, council rates, body corporate rates, socialising and  entertainment expenses, etc. ii).

How to really save money?

I am a very good money manager. I save a very high amount of my salary consistently every payday. I was saving 75% of my income consistently in the last three years. I have zero debt. I paid everything, including car, with cash - no loans. I aimed to be able to afford a house with cash, too. I am not a weirdo frugal. I wear reasonably nice clothes, shoes and accessories (bags, watch and jewellery). I go out and enjoy nice dinners occasionally. And no, I am not a high income earner. I earn $70,000 gross per year. And no, I don't earn any bonuses at all. And no, I don't get anything (money, gifts, presents, bribes, or anything alike) from anyone, at all. People always come up to me and literally complained, "why can you have that?" "how do you  afford that?" "how do you have enough money?" "you must have a rich boyfriend!" All sort of negativities. I always say "save, have zero debt and pay cash for everything." May b...

Life lessons for 20 something

Work part time whilst studying . Not just for the money, but also for the precious skills. Because in working life, you won'the get promoted just because you complete cases well, but because of who you know, because of your people management skills, etc. Where to work? Work for someone who will invest in your development. Work in a place where you can gain skills that allows you to move up the career ladder. Work in a place where someone is willing to mentor you - to develop you, personally. Work in a place where you can gain a proper graduate placement once you obtain your qualification. Save your money . The cost of living once you graduated will be high. Think in terms of cost of purchasing a house, cost of wedding and (sooner than you will realise) cost of family (wife, parents and child, and later, children's education cost). Invest in shares. And reinvest the dividend s. If you have a bit more money, invest in property. Buy an investment property that will p...
