This month Paul Tobin of Driveline explains the process of choosing the right vehicle as follows:

“Many clients come to us because they can’t quite decide on which vehicle is right for them. Often people don’t have the time or inclination to traipse around the dealerships but they’ve usually researched online instead. It’s a big decision. From a financial point of view the risk of choosing the wrong vehicle can be detrimental. But more than that, there’s the impact on your day to day life, getting into a vehicle you love every morning can make all the difference to your day. If you use your car, van or Ute for work, and spend a lot of time in it, you definitely need it to be practical too. On the other hand if you make the wrong decision you will likely be struggling to make the vehicle work for you every day.

“Some of the questions we ask clients are around desirability. What do you actually want to be driving? What do you see on the roads and like the look of? Then there are the practical questions. What is the vehicle used for? Do you need to be able to get the tools, dog, and kids in the back? Do you need towing capacity, 4WD, roof rack, Bluetooth etc?

“Then we’ll put together our recommendations and a quote on which vehicles will suit your needs so you can see the comparisons. We’ll arrange appointments for you to test drive your shortlisted vehicles and then you can make an informed decision. We are 100% independent so our advice is always based on what you need not what the dealers need to sell. We can also advise on how best to structure the finance to save you money long-term and be tax effective.

“Our advice is always free and we’re here to help you with the process. Give us a call or send a quick email to start the conversation.”
