The Best Way To Buy A New Car
If you’re looking for a new car, the most cost effective way to buy one – is to get a second hand version. This is simply because cars are just about the most rapidly depreciating major items most of us ever buy. Of course, almost everything depreciates form the moment it’s bought – and many things do so more rapidly than cars in percentage terms. And if you don’t believe this – see how much you can get back for a nearly new sofa, or fridge, for example.
But we spend more on cars than almost anything else besides the homes we live in – and it’s the sheer amount involved that makes a real difference in buying a good used one.
In deciding which used car to get – go straight to a good objective source. In the UK, this basically means you should buy a Honda. That’s because Honda was found to be the UK’s most reliable carmaker for an incredible seven years straight in the latest What Car? and Warranty Direct annual survey.
So starting off with the brand that’s most reliable and deciding to buy a used car is a solid basis to start from. Next, you need to decide on the best model, which will depend on your individual circumstances and budget etc. For an increasing number of people, hybrids are the best choice. Here again, Honda probably has the edge as this manufacturer truly pioneered hybrid cars so its models have been around longer than anyone else’s – and they’re objectively proven to be the most reliable.
When you do buy second-hand, though, be sure to get the car checked out before you agree to part with your hard-earned by a qualified motor engineer.
If you decide you really want to buy new, then the best way is to seek out the best new car offers from the most reliable manufacturers and – if you want to do it as cost-effectively as possible – look after the car and keep it as longs as you possibly can.
