Benefits of a Used Car
There are a number of benefits that buying a used car provides. Here are five examples:
Buying a used car can be a very economical investment, due to having done more miles in the car, and also being an older make. This means that it will be easier to have full ownership of the vehicle, as it will take less time to pay off, as it's cheaper.
If you are involved in an accident, the insurance you are paid will only cover the cost of the car's worth at the time of the incident, which may be a lot less than the original value. You will also be paying insurance premiums, which are a lot higher for new cars.
Used cars have less of an impact on the environment than brand new cars, do as the amount of CO2 produced by cars would be reduced from the original car manufacturing. Older models of cars produce less toxic waste than newer ones, which means the environment will be less polluted and safer.
With new cars, most of the time there are hidden extra charges that aren't mentioned before the sale of the vehicle. These fees can include advertisement, shipping and dealer fees; however, with used cars, there are no extra or hidden fees, and it also comes with warranties and MOT, which are advantageous.
All used cars are thoroughly inspected and serviced to ensure there are no problems, and certification is provided to prove this. This means that you won't have any major unexpected repair bills to pay, whereas new cars don't have this, so they may be problematic without you knowing.
Insurance
You may be wondering if it would be cheaper to insure a brand new car or a used second-hand car. The answer to this can vary between insurance providers, type of car and lifestyle. To give you some more indication as to which would save money, here is a comparison of insurance information for both brand new cars and used cars:
Insurance for Used Cars
If you have an accident in your brand new car, then it would be a lot more expensive to replace if needs be. The parts would also be more expensive to replace, as they are newer and may need the latest equipment. The insurance premiums would also be higher on a new car, and the money you will get will only cover the amount your car is worth at that exact moment of the incident, which could leave a big difference from what you actually paid for the car.
Insurance for New Cars
The worth of a used car will already be depreciated, and a lot of value will have already been lost, making the insurance premiums lower. This means that if you are involved in an accident, you will get the amount of money the car is worth, which won't be much different from the amount you paid.As well as this, replacing your used car will also be cheaper, due to its low value, and repairs will also cost less as the parts are easier to get hold of, and may not need the latest technology.
Types of Insurance
Third Party Only
This is the cheapest level of insurance, and is the most basic option. If you are involved in an accident that was your fault, this insurance will cover other people, properties and vehicles.
Third Party Fire and Theft
If you are involved in an accident, this type of insurance will cover all damage caused to other people, their vehicles and their properties. It will also cover you if your vehicle catches fire or is stolen.
Fully Comprehensive
This insurance covers all of the above, fire, theft, and damage to other people, their vehicles and properties. However, it also covers your own vehicle, and yourself.
Insurance for Young Drivers
Insurance costs can also make a difference if you are a new driver, buying your first car, as your insurance is usually more expensive than it is for more experienced drivers.
Finance Options

Hire Purchase
One solution is to use the hire purchase option. This means that when you purchase the car, you won't need to pay the full value upfront. Instead, you will pay a fixed value monthly for an agreed period of time, until the full payment of the original value is complete.
Personal Contract Purchase
With this option, the customer must pay the deposit, which is usually 10% of the full value of the car. Some people may wish to borrow money from the bank, or other financial lenders, who will estimate what the worth of your car will be over a few years. Now, all you are left with is the rest of the money that you will need to pay if you want to own the car.

Checklist for buying a Used Car
Here is a checklist for essential things to look for and ask the dealer about before you buy a used car to ensure it is a high-quality vehicle.
Milage
On average, people do between 10000 and 12000 miles a year. If you multiply the age of the car in years by 10000 miles, you'll be able to identify if the car has done above average mileage.
Oil Levels
To check the oil level, you need to go into the bonnet of the car, lift out the dipstick, wipe it and then place it back into the oil, pull it out and see if the oil level is correct.
Engine Quality
Sometimes, the engine of a car can leak, especially if it's an older car. Therefore, it's essential to check it thoroughly to ensure you aren't being sold a car that hasn't been serviced.
Safety
The most important thing of all is if the car is safe to drive and safe to be on the roads. If the car looks beyond its years or doesn't look like it's been maintained, don't buy it.
Electronics and Accessories
You should always test the radio, Sat Nav., built-in hands-free, and all other electronics in your used car. You should also check other accessories such as the air conditioning, heating and airbags.
Tyres
The minimum tread depth of a tyre is 1.6mm, so always check the tread depth, so you don't have to replace your tyres soon after buying the car.
Lights
Check the indicators, headlights, brake lights, hazard lights, fog lights, and interior lights to ensure none of the bulbs have gone. If these lights don't work, accidents and legal implications will occur.
Repairs
If the used car has had any repairs done, make sure that they have been done to a high standard and you've got proof of any work completed.
Condition
Lastly, do a visual check of the bodywork of the car, including wheel arches and under the vehicle. Dents and scratches can be repaired, so it may be worth getting a quote from a professional.
