Arguably the most important part of car shopping is when you come to test drive the vehicle. Used car dealers will provide you with a chance to try out a car before you buy it. This can be when a car suddenly feels right for you. During the test drive, you will want to make the most of this brief time in order to really get to know the vehicle. This is your opportunity to try out as much of the car’s features as possible in order to make an informed decision about whether to buy it. It is especially important when you are buying from a used car dealer to check for any wear and tear from its previous owner. But what kind of things should you keep in mind? It is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the vehicle before you even set off. You should do things like find out where the indicators are, turn on the windscreen wipers and put on the handbrake. You will not only get a chance to ensure they are all in working order but also discover if they feel comfortable for your style of driving. Speaking of comfort, this is something should be kept in mind too. Is there enough room? Are you happy with the storage? And do you feel cosy in the driver’s seat? Once the used car dealer has made all the appropriate checks, it is time to set off. When you hit the road it is crucial that you try the car out in a variety of different scenarios to get a comprehensive understanding of how it works. It might be worth taking a look at the map for the area surrounding the used car dealership and plan a route for your drive in order to test everything from the braking to the turning. By doing this you will be able to feel if it is uncomfortable when you’re hitting bumps, if it’s too jerky when you are braking, if it accelerates as fast as you would like when pulling out of a corner, etc. By this point you should have done some research about the car you are potentially going to buy from your used car dealer. You will probably be knowledgeable about what technology, equipment and features are unique to that particular vehicle such as a touch-screen sat nav or a reverse camera. They may sound like a great idea on paper, but you should test them out to see if they work to your satisfaction. Hopefully, by making the most of your test drive, you will be able to make up your mind about the car you are browsing. There should be few unanswered questions about its performance, handling or comfort by the end of the rest drive meaning you have all the information necessary to go ahead and make your purchase.

More than four in 10 (43%) British motorists are either too lazy or too busy to wash their own cars, and get someone else to do it. That figure rises to nearly six in ten (58%) for frantic Londoners. In Scotland, the weekend tradition still appears to be in fashion with more than two-thirds (68%) stating they wash their own cars, followed by Wales (65%), the North East (63%) and South West (62%). Almost a quarter (22%) of car owners polled now use a pop-up hand car wash, which can often be found on a supermarket or major out-of-town retailer car park. The convenience means customers can do the weekly shop and have their car cleaned at the same time. The AA-Populus poll, which canvassed 19,619 AA members on how often they clean their cars, and the methods most frequently used, also revealed that fewer professionals (54%) wash their own cars compared to semi-skilled and manual workers (63%). And the gender difference is even more marked with close to two thirds of men (61%) claiming to do a DIY bucket and sponge job, or home pressure washer, compared to just 49% of women who preferred to pay to have their cars washed. But the survey also showed that just one in ten (10%) respondents give their car a clean on the outside once a week, with only 29% admitting they only gave their vehicle a wash once every few months. Paul Yates, Managing Director of AA Cars, said: “The further you move away from London, the more willing it seems people are to get stuck in themselves and clean their cars. Whether it’s life getting in the way, or just laziness, many Londoners have no inclination to wash their vehicles. “The British tradition of washing our cars at the weekend does seem to be dying though. Across the UK, 32% of car owners now outsource the job, with around a third of these opting for an automatic car wash. “Obvious as it may sound, cleaning your car is a prerequisite if you’re looking to sell. Advertising a dirty vehicle is a sure-fire way to give potential buyers the wrong impression – that you’re willing to cut corners.” *Cars from just £25 a week, no deposit and nothing to pay for six months at rixmotorcompany.co.uk source: www.rixmotorcompany.co.uk/ |
