- This is not an article showing you how to finance a loan for a new car in Trinidad.
- This is not an auto/ car loan affordability or a payment calculator. That's what loans officers are for. We can put you on to one though. Just let us know :)
- This is not an article to discuss whether you should buy a new or used car. We'll leave that debate for another time.
- What this article is or what it should do, is help you determine if you 'can afford' a new car.
That's not the same as if you 'can afford (financially)' a new car. For example if you have TT$1000, technically you can afford to go to a nice enough restaurant, but if you need to pay your T&TEC and WASA 
bills with that money, can you really 'afford' to buy that fancy meal?

If only it were that easy then we would all be driving new cars. Truth is, you may be paying back student loans, you have utility bills, medical expenses and/ or a family to care for. So before allowing your imagination to get away from you, you should ask yourself these questions.
Do I need a new car?
Do repair bills on your current car total close to new-car monthly payments? Do you have any doubt in your mind as to whether your current car can make it from Port of Spain to Cedros and back? What about a drive to Maracas Beach?
Or, minus a few squeaks and a couple dents, it works just fine? Whatever it may be. Be sure about the answer to this question - 'Do I need a new car?'

Why do I need a new car?
Are you concerned about your safety? Maybe your current car does not have curtain airbags or electronic stability control? Both of which can literally save your life. Is your current car a gas guzzler? Or maybe you're one of those multitask drivers who need to speak on the phone and write an urgent email at the same time (yes, you can do all of this hands-free).

Will a new car add value to my life?
It's called 'New-car envy'. Maybe you have experienced it. A couple of co-workers recently got the new Toyota Hilux, Honda CNG or Suzuki Vitara and can't stop talking about their new ride. Or, you're driving on the highway and get a glimpse of the new Nissan Frontier and think to yourself 'that could be useful to haul around my equipment and tools'.
Whatever it is. Be sure that your new car adds value to your life. And yes. If a new car means the entire family can fit when visiting the grandparents, then yes, it is adding value to your life.
