It’s no secret that most people find buying a second-hand vehicle quite overwhelming.

Whether you’re trying to choose a reputable dealership or simply figuring out your budget, there are so many things to consider. You have been weighing up your options for a while now, but you’re still none the wiser about purchasing a used car. Firstly, you should think about shopping for a car that is around three years old, as this will probably be the best value for you. The reasoning behind this is that the majority of brand new vehicles are bought through various finance offers, which usually operate for two to three years. When people return to their dealer for an upgrade these three-year-old cars will be on the market for you to buy at affordable prices. It’s unlikely that you will have to face pricey repairs at this point, so if you’re looking for a reliable used car, this might be a sensible starting point for you.
