First things First. The key factors to consider -

What will be the upfront costs?

1. The Purchase Price of the Car: The car you purchase will be dictated by what you really need and what you actually require, yet above all else, what you can afford. Primarily, you have to consider the expenses you will have to bear over your car's lifetime. While a brand new car can be more costly to afford, it ought to be less expensive to maintain and service. On the other hand, a used car will probably be less expensive earlier, however will likely demand more care and service support.
2. The Vehicle Inspection: Before you purchase a used car, get an expert to examine it. It could be your local repairman or you can also go for a pre-purchase vehicle examination through your State or Territory's motoring club such as - the RACV or the RACQ.
3. The Cost of Stamp duty: Stamp duty can be an extensive coincidental cost and is ascertained on the cost of the car you're purchasing. Be careful that every state has diverse stamp duty price that depends upon what kind of car you're buying. Such as a compact car, SUV or a luxury vehicle. Additionally, if this is your new car purchase, there are car dealers that might add up the stamp duty to the price of the car.

What will be the ongoing costs?
Apart from service and maintenance costs, your new car purchase will add up to certain ongoing expenses such as fuel, road taxes and the major part of the expense would also include the car loan repayments if the car you own is financed through a bank or lender.
