What is the best time of year to buy a used car UK?

This is a very tricky question to answer, because there are a number of factors that determine the best time of year to buy a used car. So, before you jump in, make sure you're armed with all the facts and figures you need to make an informed decision. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of buying a car during the different seasons:

Pros of Buying a Used Car in Autumn. Autumn is known as the traditional season for buying used cars, so if you want to buy a car that is likely to last you many years, then you might want to head to the used car market during this time of year. There are a number of reasons why buying a used car during this time of year is a good idea. For starters, you have a much better chance of finding the right car for you, because the price will be more attractive. In addition, you'll also find plenty of people out and about during the day. These people are more likely to be interested in getting a bargain, so they're more likely to be willing to haggle over the price.

Autumn is also one of the best times of year for finding good deals on used cars, because it's when dealers start to clear out their older models. As a result, they're more likely to be willing to lower the asking price on some of their older vehicles. It also doesn't hurt that the weather is great for looking around. On a cloudy, rainy day, it's easy to get discouraged, but if the sun is shining and you can easily spot potential deals on the road, then you'll be more likely to keep going.

Cons of Buying a Used Car in Autumn. There are a couple of cons that come with buying a car during the autumn, but they're pretty minor. Firstly, you'll find that the availability of used cars will be low. If you're buying a used car, you'll want to be able to get one that suits your needs perfectly. However, if there aren't any new models available, then you'll have to settle for something that is a little more basic.

The second con is the price.

What time of the year cars are the cheapest UK?

I thought I'd start a thread as the subject is a bit more in-depth than what we often see around here. So, this is to help drivers plan when they should be looking to buy (or already be in), in order to buy at the best prices possible. If they buy when prices are down, then they miss out on the best time, but if they don't then it's easy to find themselves having to sell for a loss.

What makes it even harder is that when I say best prices, it means different things to different people. Some people say they're looking to buy a car below 18k, whilst others are looking to pay as little as possible. So, when I say 'best prices' we can have a wide spectrum of what people's needs and budgets are.

I'll start with saying that the majority of cars are cheaper in summer than at any other time of year. So, if you're looking to go for a budget car, then summer might not be the best time.

Here's an example. The cheapest car on Ebay last week was the Suzuki Forenza GTE at 16,600. In other words, the cheapest car, by some margin, is less than half the price of the cheapest car a few weeks ago. On top of that, there's been some amazing deals and offers. This car is on sale through the summer with a money back offer, so there's a huge incentive to go for the deal.

Then, for the more expensive cars, the situation is reversed. You may only be able to buy the car for the asking price in the middle of winter. You can do deals throughout the year, but most buyers will be happy to wait for the summer to save money. Even in summer, however, you may find the car you want is out of stock. It doesn't matter what time of year, it's worth making sure the car you want is available at the time of your choice. That way, if you've just come across the car, you don't find yourself having to give up and take the loss on something.

If you can get a good deal in the summer, there's no reason to hold back and wait until the autumn. There are great deals, low offers and money back deals in July/August.

Will second-hand car prices drop in 2024 UK?

best time to buy a used car uk 2024

An article in today's Sunday Times suggests that prices may drop and that the government's policy of scrapping old second-hand cars may have an impact on price in 2024. The paper suggests that, under Labour plans to force the scrapping of old, unroadworthy cars, 'the first price cuts may be felt within a year'. If new taxes were applied then it's possible that prices may actually fall.

There is a link below today's newspaper article. The article suggests that the scrapping policy will drive down price and increase quality to such an extent that the scrapping policy will help to revive the used car market.

The car industry has said that it could cause thousands of jobs to go because a number of plants will be closed and many workers are likely to leave their current employer and take jobs in France and Germany. But the industry was warned by Unite that it must also provide assurances that it will not cut jobs at home.

The industry fears that the government is aiming to turn European car industry firms into low cost export producers and is likely to impose strict new safety and pollution tests. The plan is said to be in breach of the GATT agreements made with European car makers when they signed up to the WTO's anti-dumping rulebook (pdf). But the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills denies that this is the case. It also claims that exports of diesels will not fall.

This article in today's Sunday Times, under the heading 'The battle for Britain's industrial heartlands', states that: "The EU's anti-dumping tribunal ruled last year that US carmakers had benefited from illegal subsidies. The EU's decision is being challenged in Brussels in March, but if that ruling is upheld, the US could be hit with penalties ranging from 7 billion (5.1bn) to a full ban on exports. In January, Toyota and Ford warned that more than 10,000 job losses were possible.

Toyota and Ford have said that any duties or tariffs would only make their companies uncompetitive, and so would not help British consumers. But, as both companies are already heavily regulated by Brussels, even without such duties and tariffs, they will face high costs with respect to fuel efficiency, emission control, safety and testing standards, all of which they have agreed to meet, as standard issue for a major international brand.

Should I buy a car now or wait until 2024 UK?

I recently read a post here where a commenter said that you should buy a used car instead of buying a new car. As well, they said that to be sure about buying a used car, you should research a little bit about the car and the current condition that the car is in. My question is how come it costs so much money to get a new car? Also, I am considering purchasing a new car, but I am trying to see if I will save any money by buying a used car. Is there any reason to wait until 2024? Is the savings that great by getting a new car?

Re: ? All of these add up to the price of a new car. Since you are only planning to have the car for 5 years, let's assume that the manufacturer will still offer the warranty after this time period. The savings in your case for each 5 year's worth of depreciation comes from the reduced interest on the purchase price paid today. For each year you save, you receive a rebate of 7.5% of that amount. This gets smaller the further into the future you plan to keep the car, because the percentage of return per year you will receive from savings decreases rapidly.
