Buying a used car online can be daunting. Whether it’s price, condition, mileage or something else, buyers have a lot to consider before they make a decision, and with the rise of online marketplaces there are more options than ever before. Thankfully, CarsVansandBikes.com are here to help make things a little easier for you.
Check out our tips for buying a used car online.
Don’t forget to consider what you’ll be using your car for. Is it for taking the kids to school and general day to day driving, commuting or for long-distance trips such as UK staycations.
Other things to bear in mind are boot size, engine size and miles per gallon.
Truth be told there isn’t one correct answer here. You can just as easily find used cars that have a low mileage count in poor condition as you can high mileage cars in great condition.
A lot of this depends on how well maintained the car has been and how it has been driven and cared for by previous owners.
All stats point to our average annual mileage decreasing over the past 15 years or so, but if you want to have a rough estimate then we can look at the traditional figures.
Most people use the guide of around 10,000 miles per year, with 12,000 being an acceptable higher band.
Naturally that means if you find a 5 year old used car that’s done less than 50,000 miles, you could consider that low.
You can buy used cars right here at Cars Vans and Bikes, and there are a number of reasons why you should consider used over new.
