If you are just about to have your first child you will know the pressures of the many things you have to prepare for their arrival. Among these is upgrading that sporty little car you have for something a bit more family orientated such as an estate or saloon car. This is the practical choice of car for the average family man, you can wave goodbye to those two seater convertibles and pimped out street cars. Welcome to a world of kids asking, “Are we there yet?” every thirty seconds a dog in the boot and your wife nonchalantly tutting as you miss your turn on the motorway. I’m only joking around, there are some great saloon cars which will keep you and your family happy.

A great place to start looking for a cheap family care is the internet. You can search for a used car online from the comfort of your own home with your favourite beverage in one hand and your mouse in the other. A great family car to take a look at is the Ford Focus or Fiesta. They are a good solid build and have engines which often last close to two hundred thousand miles without requiring a rebuild. In any case, whatever car you pick, you need to make sure it is in good working order and safe to transport your little ones around in.

To make sure you are going to get the best deal you could consider part exchanging your old car. There are websites which do used car valuations so you can see how much your old car is worth. It’s vital you get a good selection of quotes to make sure you are not going to get ripped off my anyone. All this should be part of a good father’s thinking though, to provide the best for your family in the most practical way possible. Just remember not to tell your wife about the twin turbocharged engine your brilliant new family car is going to have though. Take it from me, she won’t be impressed.
