Buying a new car can be a fraught process, but Motornet has some tips to help you get the best deal.

• Make sure that your budget includes the cost of insurance, tax, and any work that may be needed.
• Check price guides first, so that you know as much as you can about the value of different cars and can avoid being overcharged.
• Whichever car you choose, test-drive it before committing yourself. Check that it will fit into your garage, if you have one. If there will be more than one regular driver, make sure you can all find a comfortable driving position.
• Don't be pressured into buying.
• Walk away if you're not completely happy
