There are many reasons to justify buying a new car but we’ve narrowed them down to the nations top 5 reasons to change your car. They may not all be straight-thinking, but that’s not to say you can’t use them to convince yourself it’s time for an upgrade!
The UK car market is stronger than it has been for years so now may be the time to treat yourself to a new motor!
So, here are the best 5 reasons to change your car. If you’re looking for the best way to buy a new car, head over to Car Auction Buying Service. With over 20 years of experience in the motor trade, our goal is to help save you time, hassle but more importantly money when buying your next used car.
1) Your car keeps breaking down
Are you on speed dial to your local recovery company?
Your car is required to get you from A to B. If it can’t perform that function then, maybe its time for a change. Take a look at what you use for car for on a daily basis. Do you often travel to meetings that could make or break your business? Do you have children who may need a lift to school each morning? Or perhaps picking up your youngest from after-school club. You don’t want to be late because of an unreliable old car, do you?
2) It’s just too old
Is your car a bit of a jalopy?
An old car isn’t necessarily a bad car but they do tend to be more unreliable, require more maintenance and generally incur higher running costs. Newer cars are immeasurably safer than older vehicles and are more likely to come with convenience and modern safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and blind spot monitoring. If your car is over 10 years old you’ll probably be surprised to discover that features such a 360-degree parking cameras, head up display now come as standard. That kind of technology only existed on luxury just a few years ago. As technology develops we could soon be enjoying autonomous driving!
3) Your car has a dark history
Cars become such a crucial part of our lives that they always represent a link with our pasts – be that good or bad. Recent divorcees, for example, may have to replace their car just to sever the ties with their partners and move on. This is normal, and we’d heartily recommend making your rebound a four-wheeled one rather than a two-legged affair.
4) You daren’t look at your bank balance
Doing this too regularly? Then you might want a new car…
Look at it this way – you could buy a practical brand-new Ford Focus for £18,000 or, for the same amount, you could buy a used Audi RS6 with a powerful 4.0-litre V8 engine. In an ideal world you might go for the Audi but, for a person on an average income, the Audi would tear through your finances like s**t through a goose when it comes to fuel, insurance and road tax. Modern cars are so much more efficient than older ones and most are available with engines so clean they’re free to tax.There is probably a strong argument that buying a newer car is cheaper than keeping a thirsty old car on the road.
5) Life changes, and so does the car you need
Everybody has different requirements for their car. For some it may be about running costs, a family might prioritise boot space and rear seat legroom, a singleton might crave a two-seat sports car while they can still get away with it. Like most things in life, your car needs tend to change over time. Someone in their late 20s may have a lot of disposable income, so could run around in something sporty like a BMW Z4 while quite happily stumping up for the significant fuel costs. A marriage and several children later, and it’s time for a seven-seater MPV like the Volkswagen Touran. Once the kids have flown the nest it could be time to head to the local Porsche dealership for a test ride in a two-seater sports car all over again.
