March 6, 2015 by Jeff Zaninelli

Used Cars

If you want to own a car but the budget is tight, think about buying a used car. It is the best idea when you try to save money from buying your own car. Buying a used cars does not mean that you will buy an old banger, you just grab the opportunity to get a car at the most practical way there is.

 

A wise used cars buyer must be able to do the following tips in order to end up with the perfect deal.

 

Research.

Conducting a research is the most important thing to do before deciding on your used car shopping. Don’t be fooled with what you see on the physical aspect of the car despite the sparkle there are probably some hidden issues and this without prior research will make you end up in regret. The internet is the best option when you want to gather the basic information about a specific car model. It also where you will be able to learn about the actual retail value and trade in value of the car you are considering to purchase. You can also browse on some buyers review with the used cars model, there are books and magazines which you can refer for other details you wish to know regarding the used cars. Make sure to get data regarding the car’s history, if there is any accident associated with it that caused major damage to the car which will make it hard to maintain.

The right source.

There are lots of options for you to be able to purchase a used car. There are the auction centers, the classified ads, the dealer’s yard or some private sellers or individuals. Dealership and those deals with the private seller are the two most common route of used car hunters.

Physical and mechanical Inspection.

In order to do this step right there is a need for you to hire a professional technician. He will easily know if there is something wrong with the car and what are the things or features that needs a test run. Hiring a mechanic will enable you to determine the cost of maintenance you need to make for the specific car or if there is any repair you need to make and the amount it requires.

Request for a test drive.

In order to decide on the used cars you must be able to request to test drive the car and be able to bring it on varied road types. Bring it on rocky road, along the highway, inside town where traffic may come and go. Make sure that all features are in good condition and perfectly run.

Whether you buy from a dealer or from a private seller make sure to solicit idea from friends and family to be certain that you don’t miss a single thing. Don’t go for a too good to be true deal, it takes a suspicious mind in order to get a perfect deal and avoid being ripped off in the end. Be cautious and always use your mind over your heart. Choose the one that you need over the one you like because a wise buyer will always end up closing the ultimate deal.

Research Is The Key When Buying A Good Used Car

March 5, 2015 by Editor

Things you really should know if you are buying a good used car

Buying a good used car is the most practical way when you are planning to own a car.

But the process is not easy as buying something from the supermarket. It will take you to a lot of things to consider. Among the things you need to decide on is whether to buy from a dealer or from a private seller, how much budget you’re going to set for this used car buying, the type of car you want and many more.

In order to end up with a wise buy and satisfy yourself you must first become a responsible good used car buyer. Try to consider and compare the pros and cons of buying a used car from a dealer and buying one from a private seller.

Buying from a dealer can certainly protect you from the Sale of Goods Act. This means that the car must be reliable enough while on the road and must have the exact features and descriptions just what is contained in the advertisement. There are lots of papers though, but these can be done along the process and it is much better and will assure you of a safe and legal transaction.

Things such as this should not be ignored and must be given full attention. Through research, buying good used car can become a successful and will lead you to the car of your dreams.

Conducting a research is the first on the list when you want to end up with the perfect car. Where to go for information you need? Hit the internet. It is the best place to look for the necessary information you need with the car model that you consider to purchase.

The various websites that are available will definitely help you to know the history and price range of the specific car you wanted. Doing this action will help you determine the fair price for the used car.

Search online for cars condition, mileage and those with similar extras. There are some important features that will determine the price of a used car such as electric windows, alloys, air conditioning, seat heaters and sat nav – number of previous owners and service history.

Just before closing the deal, care to ask for a test drive. This is the most important part of the process. A half an hour on the road will definitely help you decide if it’s the right car or not. Make sure to drive the car on open highway, rocky roads or inside town.

Try to use every feature of the car including reverse, test all the controls like wipers, headlamps, heaters and air conditioning. Focus on the engine if it’s running smoothly and reversing evenly and without grinding noises. Check out the brakes including the handbrake if it’s in good condition.

 

Finally trust your instinct. If you feel that there is trouble and there is any doubt, feel free to walk away and look for another.

Buying Used Car In A Smart Way

March 5, 2015 by Editor

People nowadays have learned the advantages of buying used car over a brand new one

Owning a car can become as expensive as owning a house especially when you’re looking after on a top of the line model from a famous brand.

It is always a better and practical idea when deciding on purchasing your own car. Yes of course it can be really doubtful choosing a used car over a brand new one since you don’t know the history of the car. Also you would always consider the engine condition if it’s going to drop you right after closing the deal. But all these fears will easily turn into fascination if you learn how to become a smart when buying used car.

In order to get a wise buy on used cars, you must be responsible enough on buying the car model that you have decided to purchase. First and foremost decide on the type of car you want to buy. If you know what car you really want it will be easier for you to conduct a research.

The internet offers a lot of website that deals with used car buying as well as there is magazines that contain details you might need with your used car shopping. The said resources can provide important information regarding the car model of the used car you would want to buy like the model, the features, retail value as well as the trade in value and so much more.

The most important factor that can help you decide on the used car you will have is of course your budget. Even if you wanted a specific model with great features but it doesn’t fit in your budget you wouldn’t be able to get the car.

Set a specific budget that will enable you to get a reliable used car. As you tend to lower down your budget the chance of getting older car gets higher. So it is better to strictly put a budget that will allow you to own the car that will provide safety and reliability. The safety feature of a certain vehicle always comes as the most critical aspect every buyer is looking for.

Buying a 3 year old car is a wise buy than getting a five year older. It is always a buyer’s responsibility to conduct an inspection before closing the deal. Check the physical and mechanical aspect of the car to make sure that you’re paying for the right one.

Being nineteen (and partner 21) at the time, and buying a car from a dealer, I thought we would be up against folk who treated us with little respect. This was absolutely not the case here! The first car we looked at on our hunt was the one we ended up buying. We've had it close to a year now, and put an additional 70,000km on it, completely trouble free. Thanks guys.read more

Was a little nervous about buying a used vehicle but these guys really made me feel welcome. Sold me a great car at a great price with some generous extras (warranty, RACV cover etc) and gave me a very reasonable price for my old one. Car had a little issue that needed fixing (it happens with second hands) but they were very nice and apologetic about it. Had the issue resolved promptly, no-questions-asked and now it runs wonderfully. Really exemplary after-sales service. Would go there again.read more

Bought a navara st-x d40 from these guys. Had some issues, but they help me out and I'm happy. I was probably a bit rude when the problems propped up, but they did the right thing and helped me get it all sorted. My nav now has a new clutch, and drives awesome. I appreciate AJ and Scott over at cool core radiators for doing such a great job. Also a special thanks to Paul at JZ motors for being a great guy and professional, even after I sent some rude messages. Thanks guys, I appreciate all the support.read more

Last Friday I turned up at JZ Motors. I was greeted straight away by Paul. I told him what I was looking for, he pointed me directly to what I had in mind. Details of the vehicles were explained in real person terms, so I understood he said. I test drove 3 Toyota’s and ended up choosing a Camry. Whilst we were in the I met with Jeff, the owner and the deal was done. I’m extremely happy with my new car and very impressed with the way I was treated. I would recommend JZ Motors to anyone. Thanks again Sandra F (a very happy customer)read more

If you want a typical cars salesman that will say anything to close the deal, then please keep walking. But if you can handle a dose of straight shooting, down to earth guys, then you might get a good laugh and a damn good car too. Well worth the extra drive to get there.read more

I bought my Defender 130 from Paul and Jeff...They were bombarded with calls from the "Defender Crazies" but I was the lucky one to get it. It's 15 years old Defender so has it's issues but they sorted out Fuel Pump, Doors, new brakes, full service, light switch and a number of small items before I took delivery! The doors were still an issue but they were happy to give it another go and it was sorted, no questions asked. I've since asked for their advice on a number of improvements I've wanted to make to it and they were great at putting me in touch with local shops and arranging good prices. Thanks Guys...Let me know first when you get your hands on another Defender and thanks for all the favours!read more

Highly recommend these guys. AJ was fantastic to deal with and very knowledgeable and professional. We went in to look at a 4x4 for towing, we drove one and then later drove home in it. 👌🏻 It has been an amazing car and beautiful to drive. Not what we had originally looked at but so glad we bought it. And the service doesn’t just stop once you drive out of the yard like some. AJ is always available on the phone and willing to assist where he can. Thanks AJ.read more
