Hello all
I am thinking about buying a brand new car when I get to Malta rather than a dodgy second car! But I have a few questions that I was hoping some of you might know the answers to!
1) are new cars considerably more to buy than than the same car in the UK for example!?
2) is it possible to buy a car on a PCP scheme - where you buy the car on a 3/4/5 year scheme, and then at the end of the scheme you have the option to trade it in, upgrade for a newer model or buy it at the settlement figure agreed at the start of your scheme. Or is this just a UK thing (for example they do not have it herein Spain! )
3). Also is it possible for a foreigner to buy a car on finance? And do the car dealers themselves offer finance or do you have to do this directly through the bank?
4) also, if finance is available on a new car I'm guessing you hVe to have maltese paperwork sorted first ie residence cards etc! And a job to prove you can afford the payments???
5) final question I promise! Can anyone give me a ballpark figure for the price of a new ford fiesta or vw polo?
Many thanks
Sarah
