Guides for First-time Car Buyers

Buying a car is not always easy. It is something that most people don`t do most often and it is something that we want to make the best use of our money and that goes with sensible and careful planning and an awareness of certain Pros and Cons about the type of model and Make of vehicle. However with proper guidance, these questions can easily be answered by taking notes of the following:

We all have certain tastes that we feel we should drive and the model of the car is very important to most of us in the sense that it somehow identifies with us at whatever level or status that someone can manage to drive certain cars. However when looking at it in the context of buying a used car let’s say at one of the best online car dealers like BE FORWARD

The first model that I can recommend for a first time buyer is a Toyota model. Models such as the Toyota Corolla Sedan, Toyota Allion, Toyota Corolla Runx, etc., you can never go wrong, as the brand is well known for offering cheap and reliable parts and services. The easy accessibility of parts for the models above make it very easy to manage and maintain in terms of breakdowns.

Apart from its reliability the Toyota Corolla Sedan, Allion and Runx are one of the few vehicles that can really accommodate medium and small families with proper comfort and enough legroom. Furthermore I want to mention here that when it comes to the price of these models, BE FORWARD is the best platform to get one of these as I can really guarantee you that these units are far very cheap on BE FORWARD than any online used car dealer at the moment and not to mention the security of your hard earned cash.

1. Toyota Corolla Sedan

Toyota Corolla Seda

The price tag for a Toyota Corolla Sedan with year of make 1997 and with engine capacity 1,490cc starts in the range of $1,000.00, with the 2006 model fetching a price tag of $3,000.00 for the unit alone. This is very much reasonable considering the fact that you would get the same units at a far higher price tag than this elsewhere.

2. Toyota Allion

Toyota Allion

The next model we can look at is the Toyota Allion with engine capacity 1,790cc and 1,990cc for other versions. This unit is one of the most sought after online due to the fact that apart from it being compact and reliable, it has other features that a basic corolla Sedan cannot offer like extra space and those sporty looks and performance makes you really want it parked in your yard. The fuel efficiency of the model is impressive and something that one can never complain about. The unit can be purchased for a price tag of $1,200.00 excluding other costs such as freight and insurance. However this unit offers more than its price tag, as you can never really go wrong with this one. The average price tag of $1,600.00 can fluctuate, as it’s one of the hottest selling cars right now.

3. Toyota Carolla Runx

Toyota Corolla Runx

The Toyota Runx is another model that I can recommend as its performance is top notch; this unit is always another hot potato that people cannot resist to get their hands on. This 1,490cc engine capacity hatchback is versatile and its ease of maintenance makes it in the same league of economical units in the Toyota family range of cars. The unit is quite common with small family units as it offers reasonable space for luggage and kids behind. The lowest price tag for a Runx is $1,200.00 as the unit is ever in demand and the average price tag being $1,700.00.

4. Nissan Skyline

Nissan Skyline

Moving away from the Toyota family, the next model that one can look at is the Nissan Family of Cars, models such as the Nissan Skyline, Fuga etc. The Nissan Skyline is known for its power and stability on the road. This unit comes in engine capacity of 2,490cc and 2,980cc in other versions. This unit can perform to its expectations and of all the versions the Gran Turismo Racer (GTR) version is one that has really impressed me the most with its raw power and great features. Apart from that the unit has enough spare parts accessibility and the price tag is in the unbelievable range of $1,000.00 for the basic sedan and the highest price tag getting something like $3,300.00 for the 2008 sedan version. The Skyline is available in the sedan and coupe version as well as the rear and four-wheel drive.

5. Nissan Fuga

Nissan Fuga

Another car that never seizes to amaze me is the Nissan Fuga. For those of you first time buyers, who really love speed and with a touch of elegance to it, this v6 unit is for you as it can outperform most of the units in its class. The engine capacity for the Fuga is 2,490cc with another version being 3,490cc. The price tag for the Fuga starts somewhere in the range of $1,500.00 and I can assure you that the only place where you can get all of the units mentioned in this article is at BE FORWARD. This dealer has always impressed me with their reasonable price tags and mind you it’s not only the price tags that are impressive but also the mint condition and neatness of their units comes second to none.

  1. Many Zambians cannot afford to have cars with the associated costs under this pf government. People are making life and death decisions at the fuel pumps. Things are bad

    • @ Chitechi i also raced against Nissan Skyline Using hilux D4D and it beat me pants down…..i eventually bought it

    • @Nez we too young to worry about politics like others who live thru it. We hustle our own Sh$$T and can proudly race, graciously accept a race defeat unlike others and join the winning team

    • Thanx @Samba this man and politics, for how long are they going to cry; are they even married these people how do they sleep with their……… with wrinkles all over day and night.

  2. Just bringing scrap metal in the country…please govt put a cap on the age of vehicles. Older cars that are not classics should be banned esspecially older than 10 years.

  3. What about the poor man’s side-chick vehicles of choice: the Vitz and IST? These cars are quite popular, I see them parked at many a corporate office towards month end when chaps are blackmailed for money in exchange for silence. What a life!

  4. Too good at celebrating other peoples’ innovations even if they’re just toys and scrap metal as someone already referred to them. When are ever going to celebrate a Zambian made car? It boggles the mind
