Where to buy a new car
Sometimes it is difficult to decide whether it’s best to buy a new or a used car as one option might be the best value for money while the other gives you a greater choice in choosing the exact car you want.
If you buy a new car you can have it built to your specific
requirements and you get a manufacturer warranty with your purchase. Dealers might also be able to offer you a new car discount and a great finance deal. You also won’t need an MOT for three years and if you buy an economical car, the showroom tax might make your car free-to-tax for the first year. But buying new can also be expensive and the car might lose a lot of its value over the first year of ownership. If you buy a less economical car showroom tax is an added cost.
If you do decide to buy a new car there are now several places you can go. First of all there’s your main car dealer. They are usually affiliated with the manufacturer who has built the car, such as Charles Hurst Land Rover, so you can expect a good service level and a place to go to if anything should go wrong.
But you can also cut out the dealer and choose an online car retailer instead. Some websites can source a brand new car in the specifications you want and also give you huge savings. And although you buy online you should be supplied with a full manufacturer warranty.
But whether you choose to shop online or prefer dealing with someone face-to –face, make sure you test-drive your chosen vehicle and also haggle until you get a deal you’re happy with.
