Performance cars can cost an extravagant amount of money to buy both new and second-hand.
While the world has (hopefully) moved past the point of designing vehicles aimed at specific genders of drivers, there are still certain models more popular with women than men.
Many are designed with a macho feel and some undoubtedly have an aggressive aesthetic that may put a lot of women off driving them. Whatever high performance vehicle you want to get behind the wheel of though, whether a classic American muscle car or modern Nissan 370Z, there are ways to do it without breaking the bank.
Hire Purchase
Paying up front for a brand new sports car requires years of saving and sacrifice, unless you’re in the enviable position of having just won the lottery or earning a six figure salary. To get your hands on such a vehicle quickly is possible to afford through hire purchase.
This is a method of buying any car on finance. Payments are agreed at a set rate and spread out between 12 and 60 months to make meeting each one easy. This means you own the car eventually and should be able to afford it with longer agreements but the added interest can result in paying over the odds.
Car Leasing
To get the use of one of the newest and best performing cars, leasing from Car4Leasing is a good option. You don’t actually own the vehicle but can still drive it as much as you want and this also means you don’t lose out as the vehicle depreciates in value either.
Monthly payments are made which often include servicing and maintenance costs which saves you time and money if it suffers problems. Flexible payment terms are available and when your lease is up you can easily switch to drive another, different performance car of your choice.
Experience Days
By far the cheapest (yet also shortest) way to drive your favourite high performance car is to go on one of the popular experience days. There are many available with numerous types of supercars on offer to drive.
This also allows you to get behind the wheel of certain supercars that you’d never be able to afford, even on a lease. They may be aimed at being birthday presents but there’s no shame in purchasing one for yourself. Of course the main downfall is that afterwards you’ll have to drive home in your regular Ford Focus.
