The Best Way to Get the Car of Your Dreams

by  |  On February 27th, 2015  |  In Tips & Guides

No matter whether you’ve grown up as an enthusiast of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, or any other supercar maker, everyone grows up with having a dream car (and if not you can find yours here based on this personality quiz). Back in the 80s, it felt as though every boy’s bedroom wall had a picture of one supercar or another. Now, although such a ritual appears to be on the wane, our love for supercars is still as strong as ever. But, it is all well and good having a dream, but the main question becomes about how we turn this dream into a reality. In this blog post, we look at how we can do just that:

Define Your Dream and Your Goals

For some people, owning a specific car isn’t a dream, and instead they simply want to own a car made by specific company. For example, they don’t care whether it is an Enzo, a 458 or a California T, they simply want to own a Ferrari.

In order to work towards your dream, you first need to define it. What do you want, and how much is it going to cost you? If you’re happy with a 1981 Ferrari Mondial, for example, it is likely that you’ll get change out of £20,000, but if you’re only going to be satisfied with a 2014 F12 Berlinetta, then the cost is likely to run into the hundreds of thousands. Define exactly what you want early. There’s nothing worse than spending thousands, compromising, still not being satisfied and starting again from square one.

Work Out a Plan to Get There

It’s great to have a dream, but once you’ve defined it, you have to make it achievable. In order to do this, you have to make a detailed plan on how you’re going to get there.

Spreadsheets may be a little bland and boring, but if you’re planning on financing the deal yourself, they are essential for ensuring that you meet your financial targets.

Deadlines are important, too. If you leave it as ‘one day’, you’ll never get there. Set a timetable… and stick to it.

Assess Financing Options

If you can’t finance the deal entirely yourself, then you need to assess your financial options. From contract hires and leases from companies such as Select Contracts to straightforward bank loans, there is a wealth of options available. You just have to ensure that you can afford the repayments; especially if the rate of interest is relatively high.

So, there we have it, if you have a dream: chase it. Doing so could be simpler than you’d think, you simply need the motivation, the drive and the belief that you can achieve it. Good luck!
