New to buying cars, need advice

[survient]

Ok I'm looking at gearing down on buying my first car, and I'm not sure where to start. I've done a lot of research, and am familiar with most of the steps needed to get the vehicle, the question is the order. So far I have:

- Get licence

- Insurance

- Auto Loan

- Vehicle

- Plates

I read up on all the things to watch out for, but a lot of them presume you already have another thing taken care of, such as already owning your vehicle before buying insurance. I have more things to look into but this is probably what I need to sort out first. Thanks.
