Where to Get a Car?
在哪裡買車？
Search your local area for garages of your interested brand
Each car brand will have their own garage (franchise dealerships)
Visit the garages personally and look at the cars
Franchise dealership – sell both new and used cars
Independent garages – sell used cars only
Sometimes you may find it cheaper to purchase the same car model from the franchise dealership which is further away from where you live
You can also go on the official website to look at potential used cars – will have to go to that specific garage to pick up the car
It is more preferable to buy cars from the official franchise dealership than independent private garage even though it may be more expensive
○ More guaranteed and know the car history more thoroughly
搜索您地區的車行/車房
每個汽車品牌都會有自己的車行/車房 (特許經銷商 franchise dealership)
最好親自去參觀車行/車房去選擇你想買的車
特許經銷商 (franchise dealership) – 出售新車和二手車
獨立車房 (independent garages) – 僅出售二手車
有時候您可能會發現，離您居住的地方較遠的特許經銷商會賣更便宜的相同型號的汽車 (可以格價)
您也可以在特許經銷商官方網站上查看二手車 – 必須前往特定的車房來取車
從官方特許經銷商處購買汽車比在獨立車房(independent garages) 更有保障
○ 雖然可能會比在獨立車房更貴，但是更有保證 (會了解汽車歷史)
Car Insurance
汽車保險
In the UK, the car insurance is usually purchased for the person (full comprehensive) rather than just on the car (third party – minimum)
在英國，通常是買 full comprehensive 汽車保險 ( 保司機自己 ，車和第三者)
It is illegal to drive a car which you are not insured on
Search on the internet for different car insurance companies before buying your car
駕駛沒有保你自己的汽車是違法
購買汽車之前，先在互聯網上搜索不同汽車保險公司
Factors affecting the cost of car insurance:
Your age (over 25 years old is cheaper)
How long have you been driving? (licence age)
Your address
Your driving mileage
Where your car will be parked (more expensive if parking on roads and in outdoor car parks – increase the risk of theft)
No claim bonus
Car types
Insuring as a second driver of the car with someone else (your parents, partners, boyfriend or girlfriend) who has a longer driving history. This will bring down the insurance
影響汽車保險費用的因素：
您的年齡 (25歲以上會便宜)
您車牌的年齡
您的地址
您將會行多少里數
您的汽車將停在哪裡 (如果停在路邊或室外停車場，價錢會更高 – 因爲增加被盜的風險)
無索償獎勵 (no claim bonus)
汽車類型
如果與較有駕駛經驗的人一齊投保 (您的父母，伴侶，男朋友或女朋友)，保險價錢將會降低 (作為汽車的第二司機)
