Should you Get a Used Petrol or Diesel Car

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.
