Help to purchase new or few year old ford fiesta

HappySad

Can you help? Want to purchas a new or few years old Ford Fietsa as a family hatchback.

What best offers are available and what would be the best way to purchase to save money?

Are their deals to purchase a new car with zero apr with reasonable monthly payments? Would it be better to get a few years old car? I am in Nw London, so have in the past purchased from https://www.cargiant.co.uk but I am wondering are their better deals buying a new car. Are their deals to get from Ford dealers before/after registration change? What able Pre registered by dealer new cars?

I know little about cars but very keen to have money.

9 times out of 10 it's much better value to buy a car a year or couple of years old. It will have lost quite a bit of its value already, wheras buying a new car you'll have all that to come.

Cargiant is great and my parents have brought cars there before, getting a good deal. Generally their cars are in good condition, but you know to check but you've said you've brought cars there before so know all that. They will no doubt have loads of Fiestas so have a look and see what you like, but check other places to see if there's a better deal elsewhere. Good luck on your search

Depends what you call reasonable and depends on your budget.

And how much money do you want to lose in depreciation. Throw £3000 away within a year buy a new one.
Want to lose £1000 a year or less buy a 5 year old one.

Not necessarily true, some new cars you'll find are no different in cost to brand new ones. It's a case of getting the car at the right price to start with.

5 year old cars have still got lots of life in them but it's the point where you'll start to spend money maintaining them.
