Happy 7th Birthday to the best dog and cat mother Happy 7th Birthday to the best dog and cat mother in the world. I know people always think they have the best dog but seriously Penny is in the top ten. Loyal and loving and just the easiest dog ever to look after and have around. 

We all want another but she has been so good from day one that I’m terrified of what sort of luck we would get with another one 🤦‍♀️ if only humans could be a bit more like Penny (without the sniffing bums part) 🥰
Manchester has changed SO much. It has been years Manchester has changed SO much. It has been years since we went into the centre itself. What hasn’t changed is the people, atmosphere and my love for the city that will always be home.

What You Need To Know About Buying Used Cars

January 31, 2023      admin      Leave a Comment

If the time has come for you to shop around for a new car then things could have changed since you purchased your last one. If you look after the cars you own then they can keep going for years and years. If you do not have the funds to buy a brand-new car or you simply don’t see the point then you will be better off buying a used car. Check out the article below to find out more about owning and buying used cars.

Know Your Budget

When it comes to buying any car you need to know the kind of budget you are working with. This applies to new cars as well as used ones, it is relatively easy to know your budget. Figure out your incomings and outgoings then take your final amount left over once all bills have been paid. This is how much you will have to put towards a new car. Don’t forget you don’t necessarily have to buy your car outright, there are finance options if you qualify for these. You will need to have a small deposit to put down and then make monthly payments toward your car. 

Where To Buy From

There are a couple of options when it comes to buying a used car. You can take a trip to some used car dealers to see what they have. Alternatively, you can look into private sellers. Do be aware that private sellers won’t give you your money back if something goes wrong with the car when you have purchased it. Car dealers have to follow the rules and regulations put in place to protect you when you buy a used car.  

Take A Second Opinion 

When you venture out to buy a new car it is always worth taking along another set of eyes. This will prevent you from making any rash decisions, such as buying the first car you see. This is tempting, but it is necessary to shop around before you decide. Make sure you take someone who knows something about cars as they will help you ask the necessary questions. This could be anything from how many miles the car has done to how many previous owners it has had. 

Always Test Drive

Looking at cars is one thing, knowing how they drive is another. When you look at cars, make sure you take them out for a test drive before you commit to buying. You need to know how it feels to drive and how it handles out in the big wide world. It may be worth taking along any passengers as well so you know if they have enough legroom in the car. 

Haggle

Finally, there is nothing better than asking for a better price on the car you are looking at. One thing to bear in mind is that used car dealers put a little extra on the price of the car so that when you haggle they still get a pretty decent price. They will more than likely always come down in price if you ask nicely.
