When buying your car, you should ensure that you have your budget planned first. After that, have a list of the Specs that you want for your car, check for the prices of the model with the specs to see if they are within your budget. If they are above your budget, see closer models to what you picked and are within the budget.

You will also have to decide whether to import your car or you are to buy it locally. Each method has its advantage and disadvantages. Also, you should pick between a secondhand and a new car. When buying a secondhand involve a mechanic to do the inspection on your behalf.

To avoid being conned, avoid online-only deals. Verify all documentation and pay only when satisfied(The engine number and chassis number should be similar to what is in the logbook). You should also be careful not to have your choice switched, for example, you can choose a 2007 1500cc model but a con switches it with a 2007 1300cc model.
