Myths to Avoid When Buying a Used Car – Part II

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Used Car

It’s a major decision when choosing which used car to buy. Research needs to be well done and test drives are a must. Many people rely on car guide prices and magazine reviews. While they are helpful, relying on them completely can be misleading. Most of all, making yourself aware of common used car buying myths can save you money and frustration. Following are some common used car myths:

1) Fuel efficiency is the most important factor in deciding the right car – While fuel consumption is a major factor,  it isn’t the most important. Things like depreciation value of the car, diesel or gasoline engine, and condition of the engine, among others, are equally as important if not more at times. Even if you get a used car with a fuel efficient diesel engine it isn’t going to be worth it if you have to spend large amounts on repairing the diesel pump or the diesel particulate filter for example. So, be sure to look at all aspects and not just focus on one.

2) A seemingly nice seller definitely sells good cars – Here’s the thing – you don’t know the seller. So never assume their character and definitely don’t assume the reliability and condition of the car based on the seller’s apparent personality. It is wisest to check out the car in the place that it is registered and to, of course, do a thorough check before buying it.

Should you Get a Used Petrol or Diesel Car

By

If you do not plan to use your car for a lot of traveling, then it is recommended that you buy a used petrol car. If you plan to use your car frequently, if you think that you will drive over 10,000 miles a year, then go for a used diesel car. Do not go by the mpg statistics when buying a used car. The mpg statistics usually apply for new cars, as it is. When it comes to used cars, the fuel efficiency will be lower than the company specified ones for new ones. Used cars do not come cheap, however, the best thing about them is that they do not come with the biggest motoring cost, depreciation. Used diesel cars usually have a higher repair cost than that of a used petrol car. If the filters or the turbos or the dual-mass flywheel clutches or the injectors have to be repaired or replaced, it will cost you more if you have a diesel car.

If you are cost-conscious, and you do not plan to drive around a lot, then go for a used petrol car. Used petrol cars are comparatively cheaper to buy than used diesel cars. Diesel engines have come a long way in terms of refinement, and maintenance costs, however, there is still no comparison with that of a petrol engine. A diesel engine will have an increased torque level at a lower speed. This means active gearing. The clutch will be hard, and will wear faster. Another benefit of choosing a petrol car is that you can equip the car with an LPG or a CNG kit.
