If you’re just about to start your used car journey, it can be a little daunting, particularly at times like these. Check out our top tips for buying a used car below to help you start your journey:
Always buy from a reputable dealer and check that they have been SIMI accredited. While you may think you’ll find a better deal somewhere else, the security you get from buying from somewhere reputable is invaluable. There are over 1200 dealers listed on SIMI and you can use their handy search function to find one that suits your needs.
Always buy a vehicle that comes with a full service history. This is vital as it gives you the knowledge and comfort of knowing your new car has been serviced appropriately. It’s also important to check that all services and works done to the car have been done by a reputable service dealer. This peace of mind is well worth the check. Remember, accredited service departments often have a warranty on their parts which is also great to know!
We know budget is the main factor that influences decisions when buying a new used car, however, it is important to try to buy the best brand that is affordable for you. Think about things like parts availability and your resale value when it comes time to change again.
It’s always a good idea to ask the seller about any accident history. You should be able to cross-check the service history to ensure this marries up!
You should also ask the seller whether there is any outstanding finance on the vehicle – you don’t want to end up with any surprises!
