[AD] Buying a new car can be scary territory for many people…myself included as there are just so many different factors to consider.
Shall I buy brand new, shall I buy second hand. Shall I buy privately, shall I buy from a dealer. The list really is endless and even when you finally decide on where you are going to purchase your car there is the worry that whoever you are buying from is going to be trustworthy and ultimately if the car is going to be roadworthy.
These days buying secondhand is a good option for many reasons. And for me the price is certainly the biggest pull.
Did you know that if you buy a car that is only a year old you can save as much as 27% off the price of a brand new car. Places such as KAP Motors offer used cars at really competitive prices so are a great one to check out.
Here are a few top tips for what to think about when buying second hand:
- Buying from an established dealer – This is probably the safest way to buy second hand as you have a secure base to go back to if there are any problems once you get your new car home.
- Check details and history – It is extremely important to make sure that all the car details and history have been checked and all safety procedures have been carried out before you even consider buying.
- Inspect and test drive – You can either inspect the car yourself or get a knowledgeable friend or family members to check out to over look it and always take it for a test drive to ensure you are happy with everything.
I like your advice to get someone knowledge to inspect the vehicle you’re considering purchasing and test driving it to figure out if it’s what you’re looking for. Once you’ve had it checked by someone you trust, it might help to hire a professional for a roadworthy inspection. A professional would have the skills and knowledge to properly check the vehicle for any issues and provide you with a detailed report so that you can determine whether the car is what you want and are expecting.
