In addition to the financial cost, behavioral financial guru Mario César Oliveira explains that the decision should analyze the need or importance of owning a car for each individual.
“We have to ask: What is the significance of owning a car in my life? It has the emotional and cultural scope, there are some people who want to own the car, I feel good about owning the car in my name. If you want it as property, that’s it. It’s already been answered. It’s from during the purchase,” he said.
If a person thinks only in terms of usability, it is important to consider the frequency of use and the distance traveled per month. If the car will be used frequently or over long distances, it may be best to purchase a car so that it does not fall within the plans’ travel limits.
The exception is people who work with cars, such as app or taxi drivers. In these cases, companies usually offer different terms and a subscription may be more advantageous because it covers maintenance and insurance costs.
“For the average person, it’s a case-by-case simulation. It will depend on the costs involved, the model of the car, which then takes a score for consumption, miles traveled. It’s a big part of everyone’s daily life. For low mileage in urban use, the trend is that subscription More useful. But in daily use on the road it might be a better buy, ”compares Mário.
In the case of those who really want to buy a car, the financial educator suggests evaluating the used car buying option looking for savings.
“It is important to evaluate whether it is really better to buy a brand new car or an almost new car, one with little use and low mileage. The advantage is precisely the depreciation of the commodity, you can find the car you want with reasonable mileage and at a much lower cost.”
Those who intend to finance should organize themselves financially in advance so that they can give the largest amount possible. Another option for those who aren’t in a rush to own a car is a consortium, with management fees that are lower than the financing interest.
