    Is It a Good Investment to Buy a Used Car?

    Buying a car is a huge investment. Owning a vehicle becomes an expense as you put a lot of money into using it every year. This is why it is necessary to have a strong financial sense to be able to afford such costs. This is also why many people look into buying used. If you are wondering why it is a good investment to buy a used car, the following points should provide you some insight.

    Stage in Life

    There are several reasons why you would choose to purchase a used car over a new car. One of the big concerns with purchasing a vehicle is the wear and tear that it will go through. For new drivers who aren’t as comfortable with the roads, and it is their first time owning a vehicle, a used car provides a great opportunity to learn responsibility. You not only have to care for your vehicle by driving carefully and avoiding scratches, dents, and potentially damages from accidents, but also have to do so with the proper maintenance to keep it running. Additionally, if you are a young driver, this is the most financially logical decision; at this stage in life, you do not always have the financial stability to purchase a new vehicle.

    Depending on where you are in life, a used car can still provide you the ability to learn the ins and outs of automotive care and how to handle a vehicle on the road. This is not to say that you don’t have to care for it as much, but with a lower cost in comparison to new vehicles, you can relax a little bit more.

    Your Needs

    Depending on what your needs are, it may not be sensible to purchase a new vehicle. If you need a car to simply get around, something to get you from point A to point B, buying used can be a low-cost and low-risk option. You may have another vehicle and need a second one that isn’t as fancy or high end. You might need something for work or something that can handle the climate, the weather, or the road conditions. A used car can be a purchase option to fill your needs just as effectively as a new car would, but for a lower cost.

    Your Budget

    Speaking of cost, one of the key factors of purchasing a vehicle is finances and money. Cars are high financial responsibilities, and driving one comes with a lot of operating expenses. Money is not something you can just spend without care, so you have to take into consideration your budget when choosing a car. As you can see when you click here, buying used cars provides you some financial flexibility to meet your needs and even some of your wants. If you provide yourself a budget with an ample amount of time to hunt for the car that you want, you can find huge value and savings. Buying a used car can also give you more value than buying a new car as the difference after depreciation from the point of purchase to the point of resale will be much smaller.

    Just Like New

    One of the biggest reasons that used vehicles are a great investment is that you can often find vehicles that feel like new. When you purchase a used car, you should always make it a habit to ask for and review the car history. This allows you to see what maintenance has been done to it and if it has been in any sort of accident. Most of the time, you can get a used car a couple of years older, but for a significant discount. This means that your mileage is low, and you won’t likely have to make any serious repairs with it still being relatively new in good condition. There is a ton of life left in the vehicle and after having done your research, whether on your own or with a mechanic, as well as a test drive, buying a used car from a reputable and trustworthy source provides the greatest value and investment.

    There is value to be had when buying a used vehicle as opposed to simply purchasing a new one, but you have to be smart about it. You just need to ensure that you are investing some time and energy to do the research that comes with your purchase, and you will see those savings and the value of your used car.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
