Five Top Reasons To Buy A Brand New Car

Published Date: 6th Aug 2013

Buying a brand new car may not be the financial burden you think, if you are hanging on to your aging car then running costs are going to increase especially once the vehicle is out of warranty and at anytime there could be that unexpected outlay for a new part or repair.

So that new car you are dreaming of may not be as far out of reach as you think. Car manufacturer’s have made vast strides forward in recent years with technology that has drastically improved the efficiency and economy of the latest new cars available offering significant reductions in running costs to motorists.

Here are some very good reasons to consider buying a brand new car:
 

Initial Outlay May Not Be Much As You Think

Shop around and you’ll find some very good deals, don’t just rely on your local main dealer. There are discount new car dealers, supermarkets and brokers out there that can offer you thousands of pounds off list prices of a new car in many cases.
 

Low Rate And Zero Finance Deals

Although some zero finance deals do require a larger deposit there are many low rate new car finance and leasing options available to purchase a brand new car that require a relatively small deposit. Selling or part exchanging your old car may help to offset the cost of your deposit.
 

Improved Fuel Economy

Across the board there have been huge strides forward in fuel economy with manufacturers building lighter vehicles with more efficient engines. The addition of added technology such as stop/start and eco modes to aid efficient driving means that even the latest petrol vehicles have drastically improved fuel economy when compared with their counterparts of say five years ago and of course you will usually have a number of super frugal diesel options. If that’s not enough for you then you could look at a hybrid or even a full electric although initial outlay on such vehicles will be more costly!
 

Cheaper Or Even Zero Road Tax

Many people are seeing the financial benefit of lower or even road tax exemption, the latest brand new cars offer lower CO2 emissions and hence savings on road tax costs. If you are subject to the London congestion charge then you can make additional savings with a low emissions new vehicle.
 

Save On MOT, Servicing And Repair Costs

With a brand new car you won’t need an MOT for three years and with manufacturer’s servicing and warranty agreements you will make big savings on running costs when compared with an older vehicle that it out of warranty.
