When You Are Going To Buy a New Car in UK

After the home it is your car that is the next most important purchase! What to buy, when to buy, where to buy…these are the common questions that haunt you all along the decision making process. Now that you are here at last, expect to take home some good advice on some of the important aspects of purchasing a car in UK.

What to buy
You have decided you need a car, but don’t know what to select—-the market seems to overflow with all possible varieties that run on four wheels.

The first step is to decide on your needs and fix a budget. Consider these factors while judging your needs#

The space—there are many cheap cars that may fit well into your budget. But just think whether all the family including your pets would fit into it.

Consider the distance you hope to cover with your car
If frequent long drives are expected then think of a diesel car. However, a petrol car offers you a cheaper option.

Do you have kids? Then you must know that kids just love to make a mess of your car interior. So make sure your car interior has a darker color scheme.

May be, sports cars are your ultimate obsession. But before taking the plunge just think about the crowded roads full of speed breakers that you have to negotiate everyday in your way to and back from office. A 4×4 may seem to be a depressing compromise, but it will be a more practical solution for you.

If you are eyeing a convertible, make sure beforehand whether you can use it both for the summer and winter driving.

There are unending choices that come with their respective advantages and disadvantages and you have to make your selection wisely by blending your needs with budget. But trickier than that is to decide where to buy. From online dealers to the franchisees…there are innumerable options when it comes to buying a new car in UK.

Where to buy
You have to choose from the following options:

Franchised dealers
They are the primary dealers, appointed by the manufacturer and provide you one-stop solution for buying, servicing and repairs. But they seldom entertain any bargains.

Importing a car from abroad
This has been a great way of taking the chance of lower prices of foreign cars. To avoid the pitfalls of this mode, take the help of a car broker who can get you the car for a cheaper price than the franchised dealers.

Buying from online dealers
It is by far the easiest way of purchasing a new car; however, make sure to read the customer reviews before making deals with a particular online dealer.

Car supermarkets
They may not appear as plush as the franchisee showrooms, but they sell you the product a bit cheaper than the main dealer. But on the flipside, you won’t get much scope for negotiation.

So now you have two important questions answered with regard to your purchase.
Go ahead with confidence and; make sure you have been given all the necessary paperworks including logbook and service book, copy of the warranty and a receipt as proof of purchase and all other necessary paperworks.
