How to buy a car you can afford

According to financial experts at WesBank, it's important to buy a car you can afford rather than stretching yourself financially. Young professionals should prioritise getting a vehicle that doesn't compromise them financially. The car should contribute positively to their lifestyle and independence. The greatest expenses of owning a car include petrol, maintenance, insurance, and monthly instalments.
