If you have the budget, or even if you don’t in these days of competitive personal contracts, the lure of a brand new vehicle is very tempting. Main dealer back to warranties, knowing that no one else has driven your car, and even that fabulous “new car” smell make it a very attractive proposition.

But, fast forward just a few months after you’ve driven off the forecourt, with still very little mileage on the vehicle it’s very easy to start regretting such an expensive purchase, when your asset is now worth significantly less already. Yes, of course, you will still be able to enjoy the car for some years. But with excellent reliability in modern vehicles it’s unlikely that anybody wishing to buy your car will be put off when the time comes because it will still be in pretty good condition – assuming you look after it of course.

And that’s the problem. There are so many very well-kept and reliable used cars in the market that their value in recent decades compared to the price of new has continued to slide. And that means that anybody who is happy to forego the pleasure of a brand-new vehicle will find that used cars are a far better value proposition.

It goes without saying that finding a reputable dealer and being careful with your purchase is an important aspect of the buying decision. But if you ask around it’s very easy to find out which dealers local to you are the reputable ones. Which dealers will put things right which may go wrong. Which ones provide aftermarket support and genuine guarantees.

Ask around about as, for example, our car sales in Llangefni have an exceptionally good reputation and we stand by our vehicles every time.
