Write testimonial Christmas: the perfect time to buy a used car Written on 02 Dec 2014

Finances at Christmas can often be tight and buying a car, new or used, can be far from people’s minds. However, Carworld Supermarket suggests that it might actually be a very good time to invest in your next vehicle, due to quieter showrooms and tumbling prices. Here are a few reasons to consider buying a used car this Christmas.

Lower prices Despite the fact that it’s Christmas, dealers still have cars to sell and targets to meet. They also want to shift as much of their existing and preregistered stock as possible, ahead of newer models coming in and the usual January rush of used cars that come onto the market after people upgrade their vehicles in the New Year.

Savvy sales people Sales people must also meet individual quarterly, or end-of-year sales targets. Therefore, they will be much more open to a deal right now, so that they can add your purchase to their results. Good sales personnel will have studied the market and got to know the trends; they will be aware that selling cars is a much harder job in the winter when dealerships are traditionally quieter. Another plus is that they will have more time to spend with you and a greater motivation to show you all the details of the cars you are interested in.

More time There’s a common perception that the entire festive period is really busy, filled with preparations, present buying and relative visiting. It’s certainly true that activity levels rise for a lot of people in the run-up to the big day, but many are left with far less to do afterwards, in the quiet week or so between Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. That’s why the Boxing Day sales are so popular. If you avoid the high street and head instead for the used car supermarkets to browse for your next vehicle, this could be a very wise move, as there will be fewer crowds around and more time to properly investigate the available options.

Festive bargains Buying a more ‘seasonally unusual’ vehicle can reap rewards too. Convertibles and soft-top sports cars, for example, tend not to sell so well in the winter, but if you can find one for the right price now, you will be laughing when the better weather returns. More bargains can be found if you are not so bothered about registration plates. Early 2015 will see the next number plate change arrive, so you might be able to bag a great bargain if your chosen second hand car comes with an older registration number.
