A recent study has revealed that after housing costs, motoring is the largest expense a family has to cope with.
When you're struggling with money but need to buy a car, you would think that buying a used car would be the best option, but there re also some advantages to buying a new car. Firstly it is easy and convenient, you can order it exactly how you want it and add any features you need. Dealerships are often happy to do a deal as well. You also have the benefit of knowing that you are the first person to have owned the car, so there will be no skeletons hiding in the boot. You will also have the reassurance of a warranty should anything go wrong.
However, there are some disadvantages to buying new that you should be aware of. You will pay a premium if you buy a brand new car, and often lose a lot of value the minute you drive it away. The average car vale falls by a third in the first year of ownership. Three years down the line and it will be worth around 30% of what you paid for it.
The best place to buy a new car is from a main dealer. However, this will usually be a more expensive option, but offers peace of mind rather than buying off the internet.
The best time of year to buy a new car is of course in March and September when the new registration plates are released. If you want to be the first person on the road with a new plate though, remember that these times of year are the busiest, so be prepared for a wait. Dealers are also super busy with pre-delivery inspections and services, so they may be rushed and not of top quality.
If you're looking to buy new cars Leicester, consider these points carefully before rushing into anything. And most of all, enjoy your new car!
