Buying a car is a personal choice. You need to determine the features and specifications that are most important to you, as well as those that are desirable but non-essential, and the things that you can easily live without. You should also have a clear and strict budget set before you start negotiating and consider whether you want to buy any additional warranty, whether you will part exchange an existing car, and whether you will use car financing to help fund your purchase.
With so many choices it’s clear that no single car can be the right choice for all potential owners. The Ford Fiesta has, according to information company Experian, been the biggest selling second hand car for the past two years. The Fiesta has accumulated more than quarter of a million sales in 2011 alone, and its soaring sales figures don’t look set to abate any time soon. However, while small economical cars like the Fiesta lead the way, they may not be the most sensible or the best choice for you.
Small cars are proving popular for the reduced petrol consumption and fuel spend that they offer when compared to the giant cars on the market. However, if you have a family of five or six and regularly give lifts to others then a little run-around is unlikely to give you the best driving experience.
There are ways that the second hand buyer can reduce the financial implication associated with buying a car. Part exchanging an existing vehicle doesn’t strictly reduce the price of the car that you eventually decide upon but it does reduce the amount that you have to pay up-front to make that purchase. The money you raise by part exchanging could be enough to pay the deposit on your next car.
When looking for quality and appropriate used cars Dartford buyers may also want to consider car financing. Again, this won’t reduce the total amount paid by the buyer but rather than having to pay a large initial fee for the car, it is possible instead to pay a smaller initial deposit before then making regular monthly repayments against the total finance amount; a potentially beneficial way of affording a better or newer model.
