So, Mrs Jones next door has just taken delivery of another brand new car just to run little Johnny to and from school - how does she do it, or more importantly, why?
Choosing a new car is not just a case of keeping up with the Mrs. Jones’s - there are a whole host of reasons and benefits to pick new over used.
1) Safety. As safety laws become more stringent, car manufacturers are forced to build vehicles with better safety systems and features. Projections suggest that by 2020 there will be around 40 million cars on the road in the UK and whilst you and I are perfect drivers (!) the likelihood of an accident with more congested roads increases.
2) Gizmos & Gadgets. The newer your car, the more geeky the tech that comes with it. Technology is evolving at such a speed that if you want the latest gizmos you’ll need to frequently upgrade to the latest car models.
3) Better efficiency. Back to ever-evolving technology, cars are becoming increasingly efficient without compromising their power. At the same time they are also becoming cleaner, so if you regularly venture further than Mrs. Jones’s trip to little Johnny’s primary school you’ll save pennies whilst reducing your carbon footprint.
4) No maintenance woes. By changing the vehicle regularly you avoid the maintenance problems associated with older vehicles. All new cars some with a manufacturer warranty which will cover mechanical problems for up to 5 years. As an additional benefit, MOT checks are not required on new vehicles for 3 years. For further piece of mind choose a maintenance package from CarContractHire.com As long as you keep within the stated mileage, maintenance covers the car servicing, most repairs and parts, MOT when required, and our fair play tyre policy. It also includes breakdown cover in UK.
5) And finally - it’s new. This may seem blindingly obvious but you are starting from scratch. No strange marks left on seats, minimal mileage from simply getting the vehicle to you, no danger of the vehicle having been in an accident and no unidentifiable smells requiring a number of pine fresh scented adornments hanging from the rearview mirror.
