Describe a vehicle you would like to buy in the future
You should say:- which vehicle it is
- why you like it
- if you intend to buy this vehicle in the future
Sample Answer
One vehicle I’d like to buy is a Porsche 911 (nine eleven). I suppose you could say it's my dream car. I think it’s one of the most famous cars – it’s a modern classic, with a lot of history. It’s a two-door sports coupe made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart in Germany. It has a very distinctive design, which hasn’t changed much over the years since it was first introduced back in 1963.
I like this particular car because of its classic design – it looks like I think a car should look, and obviously its performance – it’s so fast. It’s not at all practical if you have a family or things like that, but it’s great fun to drive – a really thrilling experience. I tried one a few years ago at a promotional racing event and it was a truly amazing ride; something that I’ll never forget.
Maybe in the future if everything goes well I’ll treat myself and buy one – in silver. I think it’s a good color for a Porsche, kind of classy and sophisticated without being pretentious. It’s something I’d like to do within the next 5 years or so – and then take it touring in maybe France or Italy. I really love driving and cars have always been a passion of mine, so It’d be the perfect way to spend a couple of weeks – travelling around, visiting some interesting places, while enjoying the car too.
As I said before it’s maybe not the most economical car, or practical for every day use, but I guess I’d probably use it as often as I could – when it’s convenient. It’s too much fun to keep it stored in the garage all the time – it’s a bit like good food – it has to be used to be enjoyed and appreciated.

Buying a car should always be a very thoughtful decision.
Are you a driver who is considering buying a new car? Then, you should take into account a series of considerations to enjoy the best guarantees of success in purchasing a vehicle. This is a quick guide to be a good car buyer.
Car type
SUVs (sports utility vehicles) are still fashionable, especially luxurious sport utility vehicle models like the Range Rover Autobiography and Mercedes-Benz G-Class (G-Wagon) ... but there are also alternatives. The choice in the SUV market is as comprehensive as it is varied and there is a model for almost any type of buyer.
This doesn't mean that you should ignore other equally valid options. You should analyze your needs to be covered by the vehicle, how you intend to use it, and, of course the aesthetic and technological features.
After considering all these factors, you can make a final decision, which should be as rational as possible and irrespective of general market trends or hype.
Choosing the type of fuel
The model of urban mobility is undergoing a transformation. Therefore, it is understandable that more and more drivers are hesitant about the type of fuel which they should choose.
Will diesel continue to be permitted in big cities? Is it practical buying a hybrid or electric car if you need to go on a long trip with the entire family?
Purchasing
Sometimes the purchase of a car is an urgent matter. In the opposite case, when it is possible to plan, it is important to choose the most appropriate moment. The prices are not always the same throughout the year. Even over a month, the rates recommended by the manufacturers can be altered by specific objectives or strategies of each seller. So it's best to find the most advantageous time to buy.
Comparing prices and dates for new model launches, etc. ensures you get the best price for the vehicle you would like to buy. Every detail must be analyzed.
Always compare
Always compare the prices offered by different vendors/car dealers, there may be significant differences between them.
In the big cities it is enough to go to several of the same brand to request a quote; in areas where this practice is unfeasible in person, it is always possible to request a price by telephone or online through the vendor’s website.
On many occasions, a trip to another city or even state to buy is more than justified by the savings it brings.
Launch calendar
It is very frustrating to acquire a brand-new car ... that becomes obsolete in a few months by the launch of an updated version or even a new generation of the model.
Pending new models tend to get a lot of press coverage. You can check what the useful life of any car may be, as on average new models are launched every four years for most vehicles.
And even if you're not fussy about being up-to-date and buying the latest model, you should not ignore the issue because it means a more advantageous price for the older models about to be replaced.
Choosing the right equipment
The final sale price of a car can increase dramatically in certain cases depending on its level of equipment. Obviously, security and all the necessary safety features should not be spared, as they increase the protection of the occupants of the vehicle. More consideration can be given to other elements of comfort or technology.
Of course, most drivers like to enjoy all the latest features that manufacturers offer, such as:
- GPS navigation system
- safety features
- high definition entertainment systems
- panoramic roof
- leather seats
But are you really going to use them all? Is it worth spending more on something that you do not really value as much as you might believe? The smart thing is to pay for what you need, not for what they want to sell you. The equipment level should meet your needs.
Auto financing options
A new car costs a lot of money! Coming up with the cash to buy one is usually a big challenge for most buyers.
Few people have the necessary liquidity to make a cash payment for the full purchase price, and most buyers resort to financing options. The main options are:
- Auto loans are a popular way to finance car purchases, involving borrowing money from lenders and repaying it with interest over three to seven years. The car serves as collateral, risking repossession if payments are missed.
- Leasing a car means renting it for 2-4 years with monthly payments. You don't own the car after the lease unless you buy it. Leases have mileage and wear-and-tear limits.
- Dealer financing through car dealerships offers special incentives like low-interest rates or cash rebates. It's crucial to compare these deals with other financing options to secure the best offer.
It is essential to carry out a detailed study of the different available car financing options, their advantages and disadvantages, the commitments they entail, the financial conditions, etc.
The most common is to resort to the financing of the brands themselves, although there are also those people who opt for a bank loan, and every day there are more and more drivers opting to lease a personal car rather than buying one outright; a very valid alternative for saving money in many cases.
Warranty conditions
A comprehensive warranty from the mnaufacturer has become an important feature among many buyers. Undoubtedly, it gives buyers greater peace of mind.
In many cases, the period of protection against possible defects can extend to five or even seven years. However, you must know exactly what the actual coverage of the guarantee is, the commitments it demands, and the rest of the terms and conditions related to the warranty. These are not always provided by the manufacturer or brand itself but by third parties.
