Who Buys Used Cars And Why Is It A Good Idea

By Christine Murray


If you want to be free to go wherever you want whenever you want it is vital to own a vehicle. This means you don't have to rely on friends or on public transport. Being free to go places whenever you want also expands your work prospects. But everyone knows that cars are extremely expensive to buy when they are new. Of course finance is an option, but so too is buying second hand. So, who buys used cars and why are they actually the astute people.

First and foremost it is important to understand that not everyone actually wants to own a brand new station wagon. If you leave your vehicle on the road and not in a garage or use public parking lots, you will constantly be worried about dents. Let's take an example that you commute to work each day, leaving your auto at the local high speed train link station. Although the car park may have a guard, you will worry a lot less if your automobile you leave there is not brand new.

Next, let's take a look at people who can't get finance. Perhaps you already have a loan or credit card you are paying back. Or you may have a bad credit report. There are many reasons that you may not get accepted for a loan or credit. Do not torture yourself over the reasons. Instead think of it as a blessing in disguise. One less loan to pay back, and your car will be rightfully yours.

When you take out finance for a vehicle, you can spend up to ten years paying for your car. After ten years your car won't be new anymore, and it will be time for you to start paying for a new one. So what is the point of paying on a monthly basis for something when you can just buy one outright.

One obvious group of people that opt for second hand are those on low budgets. Even if they can get a loan they opt not to as it would mean living to an even stricter budget. There is no point having a brand new truck parked up on your driveway if you have not even got money for gas.

The older your auto, the easier and cheaper to insure. Some companies won't insure new cars if you live in an area of high crime, or when you are under a certain age. Getting insurance for a brand new auto can be a real headache and one that you can avoid when you purchase a used vehicle.

So who else opts for second hand. Well, if you are looking to purchase a truck for business, you really don't need it to be new. Any auto that is bought as a work horse really does not need to be straight off the forecourt.

There really are tons of reasons why you should choose a pre owned vehicle. Unless you have the money and a private garage, avoid buying new. When you choose a modest station wagon or truck you will save money on repayments that in turn you will be able to spend on other things you want to do. You could plan some trips away with your car, or even a family vacation with the money that you will save on those nasty monthly repayments.
