Budget<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to set a budget that you\u2019re comfortable with as it will make it easier for you to choose a car for your son or daughter. With a set budget, you can easily shortlist the cars that you think would be suitable for your purchase and you can proceed to choose the car that is in line with your teenager\u2019s needs or preference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to that, a budget will help set a proper down payment for the car you\u2019re planning on buying and this will also provide some breathing room for future installments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24345 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/budget-is-great-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"budget is great\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up a budget is easy. Here are some guidelines that you can use to set your spending limit:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Increase your deposit: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When buying a used car, a larger deposit equals a lower monthly payment. Putting down at least 20 percent into your down payment will significantly lower your monthly payments in the future.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Limit your monthly car expenditure:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You should be able to live comfortably and meet your lifestyle needs after deducting your debt which includes the monthly repayment amount for the car. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 50\/30\/20 budget method is a good rule to follow where your needs (which include car payments, utilities, loans) are 50 percent of your monthly income, while 30 percent should be your wants (shopping, dining) and 20 percent goes into your savings<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Shorten your loan term:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Extending your loan term to nine years might seem like a great deal but when you consider the interest, you end up paying more than you should. It\u2019s best to go with a shorter loan term of five or seven years if your budget allows it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2. Financing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have a budget, it is time to work out the financial aspect of owning a car. For this, it is better to have a thorough discussion with your teenager so that they can be prepared for what is coming in their future as a car owner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the sake of this guide, we will be looking at the financing option for two similar models &#8211; the brand-new Proton Saga 1.3L Premium AT and a used 2020 Proton Saga Premium 1.3L from Carsome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you have RM10,000 that you can fork out for the down payment and a monthly budget of RM500 for the monthly installment. The brand-new Proton Saga costs RM39,800.00. With a down payment of RM10,000 and five-year loan with 3.5 percent interest rate, you will end up with a monthly installment of RM583.58, as calculated <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proton.com\/en\/find-a-car\/saga\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the used 2020 Proton Saga Premium 1.3L can cost as low as RM35,200 on Carsome and with a down payment of RM9,973 plus a five-year year loan, you will end up with a monthly installment of only RM494.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24344 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/saga-carsome.jpg\" alt=\"used saga financing at carsome\" width=\"1800\" height=\"436\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, it is RM583.58 vs RM494, which means you are paying 15 percent less! As the breadwinner of the family, you might be able to take on any of these payments, but if you\u2019re going to hand over this responsibility to your teenager once they become a working adult, this surely needs some consideration between the both of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After considering your ability to finance the car for your teen, the next most important thing that you need to look at would be the maintenance aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24343 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/maintenance.jpg\" alt=\"maintaining a car\" width=\"2119\" height=\"1414\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re going with a new car, you will be advised to maintain the car at authorized service centers only, to guarantee proper workmanship as well as to abide by the warranty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But on the flip side, these authorized service centers limit your choices when it comes to maintaining the car. Bear in mind that maintenance at authorized service centers might be on the expensive side sometimes if you continue beyond your warranty period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, if you go for used cars, you are free to choose which workshop to send it for service. This works great if you already have a trusted workshop that you\u2019ve been working with, even more so if the workshop is close to home and it fits right in your monthly maintenance budget!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To top it off, you don\u2019t have to worry about calling any authorized centers if the car has a sudden breakdown. You can pull up mobile applications like Pomen on your smartphone and you have certified professionals coming to look at the car in just a few taps, anytime you want!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/online-car-service-app\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">5 Reasons Your Car Breaks Down &amp; How to Get Help<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to buying a car for a teenager, safety would be a major concern for parents. Needless to say, brand new cars are now equipped with a lot of safety systems and measures to ensure the well-being of the passenger, but it all comes with a price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let\u2019s look at the brand-new Proton Saga 1.3L Premium AT. At the price of RM39,800.00, it offers twin front SRS airbags, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System, Brake Assist, Hill Hold Assist, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, as well as a reverse parking camera, all covered by Proton warranty since they\u2019re brand new.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then we have the used 2020 Proton Saga Premium 1.3L, a similar car with similar safety specifications, that goes for only RM35,200 at Carsome. That\u2019s a saving of more than RM4,000 and Carsome also gives a one-year warranty if you buy a Carsome Certified car.<\/span><br \/>\n<a name=\"Dealership\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Dealership or Online?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve decided on which car you\u2019re going to buy for your teenager, it\u2019s time to decide on which route to choose.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Looking for a Dealership<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve chosen to buy a new car, you might prefer to go to a dealership to seal the deal. Who wouldn\u2019t, right? They\u2019re usually located somewhere comfortable where friendly sales advisors help you with the car that you\u2019re planning to buy. It\u2019s great, only if you can find a dealership that meets all your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what happens when you don\u2019t? You might end up with less than exemplary service and if they don\u2019t have enough stock, you probably have to wait a few months or even a year to get the car you\u2019ve planned on buying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, you\u2019re going to have to spend a lot of effort (and gas money) to settle the deal with a physical dealership that satisfies your requirements. No teenager would want to spend their day jumping from one dealership to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to mention we\u2019re currently in a pandemic, so it\u2019s best to refrain from doing any excessive traveling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Buying a Car Online<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying cars online used to be just a dream, but not anymore! Online car platforms such as Carsome offers a convenient and trusted solution where you can browse for cars online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can even make a booking for a test drive (we do home test drives as well) by submitting your details and a Carsome Consultant will set it up for you. With only a few clicks, you can find all the cars you want in the comfort of your home, without having to leave your bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you purchase the car online, paying for your purchase is easier as well, since Carsome supports various payment methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24340 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/carsome-listing.jpg\" alt=\"carsome used car listing\" width=\"962\" height=\"851\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Read: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/carsome-payment-methods\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Here Are Carsome\u2019s Hassle-free Payment Methods<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a major concern when it comes to buying a car online is that you might be worried about not being able to physically inspect and interact with the car you\u2019ve chosen. Well, time to throw that concern away because Carsome listings provide a detailed report with clear pictures (some even come with a 360-degree view!) of the car you\u2019ve selected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk about convenience and full-on transparency!<\/span><br \/>\n<a name=\"Decisions\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Decisions, Decisions\u2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope this guide has helped you in coming to a proper decision when it comes to buying a car for your teenage son or daughter. Owning a car is a major step forward in the life of a teenager. As a parent, it is important for you to have a little talk with your teen first, before gracing them with a car to ensure they are ready to accept such responsibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once they understand the reality of owning a car, they could prepare themselves mentally and physically to become a proper car owner, and you would have one less thing to worry about in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Just Make It Carsome with an Unbreakable Promise<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you ever decide on getting a used car for your teenager, why not make it Carsome? With a huge inventory of quality used cars, it won\u2019t be difficult to find one that suits your teenager. On top of that, if you get a Carsome Certified car, you are guaranteed to get a ride that delivers the Carsome Promise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is our promise to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Five-day money-back guarantee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If you buy a used car from Carsome and you happen not to like it, you can return it back to us within five days to get your full amount back.
