Looking to buy a new car

[Master]

I will look around awful lot of money, only the house cost more so do not want to rush it, but need it in a month or two.

[Saddo]

what you really need to ask yourself is do you want to lose £6,000 on a car in one year.

i bought a 7 seater for £10,000 on ebay in germany and sold it just over a year later for £4,300 to a left hand drive dealership in the uk when i returned.

it hurts

i personally would go for the year old version but if your not worried about losing the dosh go for the new one.

but check Auto Trader UK - Buy & Sell New & Used Cars, Car Loans, Car Insurance first to see if your getting the best deal as you can get some cracking deals with the credit crunch and all these days

Thanks, I have kept my car for 8 years, so I will run the new one into the ground and get the most out of it. I will probably keep it for at least 10 years.

makes sesnse, but wot do i know

[Master]

Whatever you know, your wife knows more.

I took your advice and went to another dealer and I managed to get the car for £15,700. This included the standard 3 year warranty and AA cover for a year.

The extras I managed to negotiate were a tonneau cover (not standard £120), road tax for a year (£185), mats (£60) and full tank of petrol (£60).

I will not buy another car for 15 years!

Good deal or not?
