Buying a new car can be a safe bet

New Cars - Affordability and Safety
A worthy example of a recently-launched car is the VW Up! This car is relatively affordable and comes with the highest level of safety in the form of a 5 star-NCAP safety rating. This car is ideal for cruising along Gauteng's part of the N1 during your daily commute. Not only will it be light on fuel but it will keep you safe on the sometimes-scary N1 highway too.
Our Top 7 benefits of Buying a New Car
- You know the car comes from a reliable source. That means you can rest assured that the money you are spending won't be wasted on a stolen car that could easily be repossessed, leaving you inconveniently stranded in the blink of an eye.
- A warranty is very likely on the cards - So you will be covered in case of any unforeseen problems that are related to parts or mechanisms. Warranties will not however necessarily cover any aesthetic damage caused by you or outside parties, such as dents or scratches. Be sure to read the fine print to establish exactly for what you will be covered, and if you can rest assured, knowing your car will be in good hands should any problems arise.
- Bells and whistles could be added to the deal at a fraction of the price. This is especially true for sales people who still need to meet their monthly quota. Sales people at dealerships will often be more willing to give you a great deal on a car with all the perks at a very reasonable price, just so that they can actually make the sale. A sale at a reasonable price is better than no sale for them - don't be fooled into thinking you have no bargaining power.
- Zero mileage - This is an amazing perk that comes at no extra effort when buying a new car. The less mileage a car has on it when you buy it, the better, because it means it will last longer. The more mileage that is added to the clock over time, the more your vehicle will struggle to be as efficient or run as smoothly as before. It is best to look for the lowest mileage possible, and zero is always best.
- The best available features - The newer the car, the newer the technology will be. Newer technology means not only having a smoother ride, but also a more enjoyable one. From different connectors to play music, to seat warmers, to a sunroof, having luxuries and the latest technology can make your ride a lot more comfortable.
- Lower interest rates on finance. Motor finance companies will often be more lenient in providing financing for new cars because the history of the car is certain. A new car is a lot less likely to have hidden issues that might only come up over time with a used car.
- Resale value. The newer the car is when you buy it, the more you could eventually sell it for further down the road. Provided you have kept the car in a good condition and managed to keep mileage relatively low, you should be able to easily get a great resale value on any car that you buy brand-new.
Sometimes buying a used car can work in your favour, because you may be saving money with perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime deal, but it could end up costing you a lot more in the long run. Taking the time to investigate the new car options that are available on the market and the benefits that come with them could save you money in the long run and get you a better deal overall. A new, affordable car is a safer bet because you know exactly what you are getting, and you are unlikely to get any nasty, unexpected surprises later down the line. If you are looking for the best deals available on new cars to suit your needs, head to leading local websites to find out what is available.
