Things to know before Buying a Car

Posted on January 14, 2012 by Used Deals

If you are going to buy a car, you need to put in hours of research before you even think about taking one out for a test drive. Unfortunately, buying a car based on appearance is not a smart move, especially with the economy the way it is at the moment. Here, we will explore things you should explore before buying a car in more detail.

Price

The most important factor that you need to consider initially is your budget. Once you have established your budget you can eliminate a number of vehicles from your ‘would love to own’ list. Your initial budget should be sensible and should account for the price, tax, any work that needs doing to make the car road legal and safe, and insurance. Too many people spend their entire budget on the car initially and then panic as they try and gather enough money to make the car road worthy.  Make sure you work out accurately what you can afford to spend, especially if you are taking on a loan or another form of credit to buy the vehicle.

Mileage

If you have the money to buy a brand-new car, this point is not an issue. However, if you are buying a second hand car, you need to take into account the distance it has travelled and the amount of previous owners as well. Buying a car that has done a lot of miles with more than seven owners is not a smart move for a number of reasons. Remember, in life you often get what you pay for and this is something that it is important to remember.

Reliability

There are hundreds of reliability tests carried out by independent companies cars and certain brands every year. These tests should be pivotal to your final decision. Buying a reliable car will mean that you spend less time, and more importantly, less money getting it repaired.  For example, people who buy a Mitsubishi car in Brisbane are often happy with the reliability, and this plays a major factor in their initial decision. In an independent survey carried out by ‘What’ in 2011, Mitsubishi was found to be the joint 3rd most reliable brand on the market.

When you decide to buy a new car, the three points above are some of the most important you need to consider. However, with this being said there are several other major points that need to come into consideration, like where you will buy the car, how to bring the price down as much as possible and the reliability of the car you are buying rather than the brand.

Whatever car you decide to buy, do not take this decision lightly, as you could end up paying for it later.

Why to go through a Car Dealer

Posted on December 28, 2011 by Used Deals

If you are buying a new or used car, you can either purchase through a car dealer or privately. Even though many people consider dealerships to offer more expensive cars than private sellers, sales in dealerships have actually increased since 2008. Here, we will explore why it is preferable to buy a car through a dealer rather than privately.

Time

If you live in Brisbane, how much easier is it to go down to the Holden dealerships in Brisbane and talk to somebody that knows everything there is to know about the cars? You could search online for cars, but you will just end up trying to talk to somebody to find out more information anyway. Going through a car dealer first will allow you to save much more time then looking through an ever-increasing number of websites.

Paperwork

When you sign paperwork at an established dealer, you know that you are signing a respected document. This is because a dealer who offers unfavourable terms would go out of business quickly. A private dealer has more than likely drawn up their own paperwork rather than having a professional do it for them because they do not have the money to hire a professional to draw up these documents. Ask yourself this question, would you rather sign a contract by an established company, or an individual?

Financing

If you need to obtain finance to get your car, it will be much easier (and probably less expensive) going through a car company. One of the negatives about obtaining a loan from a bank is that it can take several days for the money to land in your account. This means you could lose the car because a seller is well within their right to accept another offer.  In a car dealer, you are either approved or rejected for credit on the spot.

Some of the best finance deals around are through car dealers. There are plenty of low APR or even 0% APR deals (for a certain time) if you put down a deposit. Obtaining one of these deals could potentially save you thousands of dollars on interest payments.

Guarantee

A private dealer cannot offer you a sustainable guarantee, and even if you obtain one, the chances are it is not worth the paper it is written on. When you obtain a guarantee from a major dealer, you know that if the car goes wrong, then you will be able to get it fixed or replaced much easier.

It is clear from the points above that choosing to buy a car from a dealer is much more beneficial when you go through a dealer rather than privately.

Finding an affordable used car for the city

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Used Deals

Just like a brand new Holden Ute, without the price tag

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Used Deals

A great range of Holden Utes are available at Brisbane Used Car dealers, many being recent models with low kilometres on the odometer reading.This means you can get your hands on a high-quality Utility vehicle that guarantees a long life, without having to worry about the steep price tag of a new vehicle.

Bartons Used Deals car dealership offers an extensive range of used vehicles, with used Holden Utes regularly coming into the store that boast low odometer readings and quality that competes with that of a new vehicle. Recommended are vehicles with less than 30,000 kms, as the likelihood of mechanical faults and poor condition is relatively small. Most will be in immaculate condition, will have undergone little to no owner changeovers, and still provide optimal safety, security and fuel efficiency.

There are a number of factors that prospective used car owners should consider when looking at used Holden Utes, such as;

  • Even relatively new vehicles can be subject to tyre wear. Consider the condition of the tyres as this may influence your decision regarding whether this is an economically wise decision.
  • Check for signs of the car’s structure, to see if it has been in an accident. Panels that don’t fit naturally with the body, as well as doors and windows that don’t go about their course of movement are indicators that the vehicle may have been a part of a collision. Also check the paint quality, scanning for chips and scratches.
  • Other useful things to check for are a crack-free windscreen, battery quality, and make sure there are no oil leaks. If you feel any doubt about the quality of the car it is strongly recommended you take a test drive before half-heartedly committing to a purchase.

All used vehicles at Bartons Used Deals are sold with a warranty, and quality of service is of highest priority. When looking for a quality vehicle without worrying about the steep price of a new car, take a look at the great range of used vehicles at UsedDeals.com.au!
