Bargain used cars, some examples
Getting the best possible used car for your needs takes a lot of preparation and research. First you have to set a budget, then figure out what your needs are and then find somewhere to go and test drive the car you have decided on. Then it’s the matter of possibly negotiating with the dealer to get the best prize. It’s a time-consuming process perhaps but all worth it in the end to get the car of your dreams.
And there are some great cars out there to suit all budgets and below is a short list of cars which all make great buys, either because they are highly regarded or because nobody wants them so they come really cheap.
One such example is the Alfa Romeo 166 where you can currently pick up a 10 year old car for around £1,000. That means you get a car with excellent styling, masses of equipment and a superb engine for next to nothing. Another cheap option is a Ford Focus which also cost around £1,000 depending on year and mileage.
But if you’ve got a bit more cash to spend you can get an Audi A2 for around £2,000. This supermini never got popular amongst car buyers so the prices have plummeted. A more classic option might be an old Saab 900 with its quirky look. If you get a mint one with a 16 valve turbo engine you’ll be expected to pay around £3,000.
And a fifth and different option is the Jeep Commander which is a boxier version than the Grand Cherokee and makes for a great family vehicle. The 3.0-litre CRD diesel starts from around £10,000 but you can get a petrol version for a lot less.
