::Barloworld ::The pre-owned cars sale – some pointers
A car is a very complex device with thousands of parts that all work together to get one to one’s destination without breaking down along the way. Modern cars have become very reliable and buying a brand-new one is a relatively risk-free exercise. In fact, manufacturers have so much faith in their products nowadays that they mostly come with comprehensive 3-year warranties, often supplemented with a service or maintenance plan. However, prohibitive costs mean that many people find themselves opting for the pre-owned cars sale and this brings with it certain risks:
- The pre-owned car has been used by someone else. It could have been neglected or abused or it could have been in an accident.
- The car has started to age. This means that certain wear ‘n tear items may be due for replacement, e.g. clutch, brake pads, tyres.
It is therefore important to ask certain questions and make certain decisions when considering going to a pre-owned cars sale:
- What is my budget?
- Buy a car below this budget, because there must be money for unscheduled repairs, and insurance is not included in the instalment.
- Old and fancy or new and basic?
- Old luxury cars can cost as much as much newer enocoboxes on the used market. Newer and simpler is always cheaper in the long run, but not as comfortable.
- Petrol or diesel?
- Petrol is cheaper than diesel and a petrol engine is more reliable than a turbodiesel and cheaper to fix when things go wrong. Diesel does not make economic sense unless annual mileages are very high.
- How long will I keep it?
- The established top-sellers are the best buys for the long term. They are more reliable and retain their value better. Petrol is also better than turbodiesel in terms of repair costs and reliability.
- Where will I buy it?
- Private is risky. A national franchise is safer but more expensive.
The above considerations can allay the fears of the pre-owned cars sale and turn it into a happy motoring chapter.
