Buying a new car is exciting… but also a little bit scary! What make? What model? New, Nearly New or Used? How much should I pay? And am I getting value for money?

The good news is that buying a nearly new car or used car has never been easier with a trustworthy, reputable car superstore like Motor Range. We’ll provide easy, affordable finance deals that will ensure that you can get the car of your dreams within your budget and always great value for money.

So, New car, Nearly New car or Used car, how do I know which is for me? Here’s our guide to the pros and cons of each that should help you to decide...

New Car


Buying a Brand New car allows you to:

  • Own a car with no previous owner and no mileage (or low delivery mileage)
  • Have access to franchised dealership special offers, such as no/low deposit, pre-paid road tax or insurance, and preferential finance rates
  • Specify trim level and any optional extras to suit your needs
  • Benefit from a full manufacturer’s warranty

On the downside, buying a Brand New car also means:

  • A long wait time (weeks or months) as your car will be built to order
  • Once ordered, you can’t pull out of the deal
  • Paying a larger amount than for an equally specced Used or Nearly New car
  • Faster depreciation rate in the car value (up to 10% in the first 6 months)
