Can you pay the purchase price upfront, or do you need to apply for financing? If you\u2019re taking out a car loan, keep in mind that factors like your credit score and income will affect the interest rate you get, which will impact the total cost of your car. Before applying, make sure you can afford the monthly payments.<article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Related: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/buying-a-car\/car-loan-affordability\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">How much car can you afford?<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/p><h4>Your needs<\/h4><p>Do you need seating for two people or a family of five or more people? If you\u2019re regularly carrying rear-seat passengers, be sure to check how each model stacks up in terms of back-seat legroom and headroom. Don\u2019t forget to consider your cargo-carrying needs and how much space is available with the rear seats up or down.<\/p><p>Performance is another key factor: do you want something that\u2019s fast and fun to drive, or do you just want something practical and reliable?<\/p><h4>Safety<\/h4><p>A high car safety rating gives you peace of mind when hitting the road and helps you save on insurance costs. Check each vehicle\u2019s safety ratings from the NHTSA and IIHS, and see what sort of driver assistance technology is included to help keep you safe on the road. Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/buying-a-car\/safest-cars-canada\">our guide to the safest cars in Canada<\/a> if safety is your number-one priority when buying a new vehicle.<\/p><h4>Running costs<\/h4><p>The purchase price is only part of the financial equation you need to consider when buying a new car. Also consider how much the car will cost in the long run. Fuel economy, maintenance, licensing and registration fees can vary substantially between models. The Canadian Automobile Association offers a handy <a href=\"https:\/\/carcosts.caa.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Driving Costs Calculator<\/a> that you can use to work out the yearly cost of owning and operating different vehicles.<\/p><h4>Buy or lease<\/h4><p>If you like regularly upgrading your vehicle or don\u2019t want to buy an asset that depreciates quickly, consider leasing instead of buying. Learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/car-leasing\">in our guide to leasing a car in Canada<\/a>.<\/p><h4>Resale value<\/h4><p>It might seem strange to think about how much you\u2019ll get from reselling a car before you even buy it, but it\u2019s worth considering the average resale values of different makes and models. Providers like CARFAX, AutoTrader and Kelley Blue Book all have easy online tools for checking the value of old vehicle models.<\/p><h4>Test-drive and compare<\/h4><p>The best way to tell if a car is right for you is to take it for a test-drive. This will give you a better idea of how it accelerates, handles and stops; whether it\u2019s comfortable to drive and whether its features meet your needs.
