Buying a Used Car
Buying a used car could be a great option when you have a tight budget. Once a new car has been purchased it depreciates in value, hence buying a new car is a great a choice.

Be Stylish on a Budget: Feel Luxurious in a Used Car
If you like the finer things in life but don’t really have the budget for them, you might be pleasantly surprised to realise that there is a way you can have a luxury car without breaking your budget. The world of used cars ownership is your best solution. If you do not want to buy a new car or lease a car then an older car could be the perfect choice. Let’s have a look at how you can feel luxurious in a used car!
Greater Choice
The world of used cars is not limited to those few makes and models that have produced a vehicle in time for the next registration period (March and September, respectively) – instead, you will be able to choose your next vehicle from all the makes and models from the last four and a half years or so. Or older, of course, but there tends not to be so many of these older models still available from reputable dealers like the known and trusted used car dealers at KAP Motor Group, so you will almost certainly find yourself considering cars that are five years old or younger.
More Extras for Your Money
As well as enjoying a wider range of choice when it comes to makes and models, choosing to buy second-hand will also allow you to choose more extras in the vehicle: from heated seats, to a metallic paint finish, even down to to a fancier radio/ Satnav setup, alloys and tyres. Because your car is second-hand, it might already have these features, or you can use the difference saved between a basic new car and your more luxurious second-hand model to customise the car your way.
Better Build Quality
A lesser touted benefit of buying a used luxury car is that you will benefit from the high-quality of the luxury car. They are designed with care, manufactured using only the best materials and finished to extremely high standards – and all of these features are made to last for years. This means that when you get the car, it will still be largely pristine and in great shape for your daily commute. Carefully maintain the car once you’ve bought it, and you will be happily driving your luxury vehicle for many years to come.
Don’t Be Scared to Haggle
Finally, when you see your perfect preloved car, don’t be afraid to haggle with the seller. Make an offer, ask for a discount, or even just simply ask if there is any wiggle room in the price. Car sales dealerships make money by having cars move through their premises, not by having them sit on the showroom floor for months and months. They might well be willing to drop the price by a significant sum, fit some luxury extras for a discount, or offer you a deal on servicing and aftercare – all bargains that will save you a little more money on your new-to-you car.
