Advice..i want to buy a new car?
Answers:
The kind of car is up to you, but i would suggest doing some research after making a short list of cars you like. take some time its a load of money to loose if you buy a dog!
I would suggest buying second hand for that kind of money your looking at a car thats about 5-7 years old. look for service history, maybe an independent person to view the car.
if its a new car you want buy a nearly new as a brand new car will loose half its value in the first 12 months!
I have just bought a V plate focus for £2500 - Brilliant car in every sense, cheap to run, good looking (3 door) quick enough, Air con, heated front screen, alloys. Parts are cheap and if you find the right one they will go on forever! advice - dont buy 1.4 very underpowered. suggested model. 1.6 zetec.
good luck and
VW Polos are good cars, reliable and not too expensive
www.motorprovidor.co.uk - new / nearly new imports - great value
never buy new,
buy second hand with warrentee.
have fun
i sell new and used. my advice would be to buy new because of all the rebates that are available right now plus having full warranty would be to your benefit.
Honda's, V.W'S , Toyota's are all good car's , check them out.!
demonstration model.
VW Golf, excellent cars couldn't rate them enough.
i would recommend a second hand, not new. even with insurance deals, they will lose more money than that in the first year. also make sure you shop around for insurance, i had quoted from £200 to £800 for the same car.
i would only sugest getting new if you particularly want to have a car no-one else has owned. look out for year old cars in dealers if you want one with some warranty.
You are best asking first about your HP, or a loan from a bank might be cheaper. When you know what you have to spend, think about what you might use the car for. Then consider the running costs as well as the initial costs.
A car I bought once was a 2 year old car with an extremely high mileage. It was very cheap, and I did another 60,000 miles before I sold it back to the garage that sold it to me for £650.
Obviously, insurance can be awkward sometimes depending on your circumstances, so it pays to shop around and find out what you want.
chose a car with your heart you
go and see a number of cars and find out which one you like
when you do find one get it checked my a mechanic friend or use rac car check they will check your car for crash damage etc
will cost though but worth it
buy second hand but loomk at the cars you liek the look of first
go for a brand new one especailly a citroen, ahs they have the best deals on free insrance plus no mot for 3 years, 3years warrenty and usually breakdonw recovery
Toyota are doing about 2.5% and Peugeot are doing about 3.5%, both on new cars, so it may be worth going for new. You will also get 3 years warranty that way.
Otherwise, go for nearly-new if you can afford it, as you get the remainder of the warranty, and don't lose the big lump of depreciation on a brand new car.
I am on my second Toyota, and have found them really reliable.

my husband sells new cars. a couple said they couldnt affored the new one they were looking at so they went through to the used section. there they bought the same make and model but 1 year older and guess what??? they are payng £10 a month more for an extra 2 years than the new one would have cost !! and..they only got 6mths road tax, and the remainder of the warranty !
if its your 1st car, then do not buy brand new, go for second hand car.
New or used,
reliability surveys suggest you should confine your search to :
Honda
Mazda
Nissan
Toyota
Look at :
www.autotrader.co.uk
- Plenty of 4 or 5 year old Nissan Micra hatchbacks with less than 40000 miles below £2500.
.Don't forget the asking price is just the starting point for negotiating!
Avoid ex driving school cars.
- They're cheap to insure too.
Good luck with your search.
