Buying A Classic Car
8th July 2010
When you look at buying a classic car it is very important that you do your research and buy the right one for you.
Start by considering why you want to own a classic car, if you want to travel long distances then a cabriolet version is probably not the right car for you. Make a list of your top ten dream classic cars, strike through those that for practical reasons will not allow you to use them as you would like.
Next cross off those cars that are outside your budget. Consider not just the cost of buying the car, but also the cost of running and maintaining the car. Make a list of the cost of obvious things like insurance, but also include the cost of items you have to regularly replace such as tyres. Parts like tyres can be very expensive for some classic cars.
Go to a few classic car shows at this stage. Here you can see the cars that you like close up. Doing this will help you to know if you really like them as much as you think you do. You can also start to work out if they are right for you, for example if you are tall you can physically see how much leg room is available.
Classic cars need lots of specialist care, so now you must find out if there is a garage near you that can help you with this care and get you the parts you will need. At this stage owners clubs can be invaluable they maintain lists of garages and workshops and can tell you how easy it is to source parts.
By now you will have decided on which car you want to buy, now it is time to find your dream car. You can find it using a combination of sources, start by searching on-line or by contacting the owners club to see if any are for sale. You will also find classic cars for sale in local newspapers, at auctions, in garages, at classic car shows and on eBay.
Once you have found the car that you are interested in go and look at it, but take a good mechanic with you. By this time you should know from the owners club, the weaknesses of the vehicle you are interested in. During the inspection ask your mechanic to pay particular attention to those areas, looking for emerging problems or problems that have been covered up.
