subject: Why New Used Cars Are Better [print this page] Nowadays, buying a used car is commonplace and is done by many people, but if you are still unsure here are a few reasons why buying a used car is often better than buying a new one.
With the economy in its current state and the prices of luxury items being hiked up, buying a new car is simply impossible for some people. You could buy a new car on finance but, due to the expensiveness of it in the first place, you could end up paying excessively high bills every month. Though you may want to be the owner of a shiny new car, sometimes it just isnt possible.
If this is the case buying a used car could be the way to go for you. Used cars are available in a range of makes and models, so you will still be able to get an attractive new car but for half the price. This is ideal for those that dont have the pay packet to cover the cost of a new car.
There are used car showrooms available all over the country, and many of them have a good mixture of cars to suit all tastes. If you buy from a reputable company you will be able to get a car that is in pristine condition, either having been reconditioned to meet their standards or being sold to them in that condition in the first place. You will also be able to get an MOT certificate and service history from them, so you know exactly what state your new car is in.
If you still dont have quite enough money for a used car you can apply for it on finance. This is a lot easier when buying a used car, as you wont have such large bills to pay back each month due to the fact that the overall cost is less.
If your credit history isnt up to scratch you will still be able to buy on finance if you find a used car company that accepts customers with low credit ratings. You will usually need to be in part time employment at least and also earn over a certain amount per month, simply to ensure that you will be able to meet the payments.
Once your application has been approved you can pick the car you like from their showroom and after a few papers have been signed you can be off in your brand new used car.
