Our Top Tips for purchasing your next Pre-loved car

Car shopping can be a mind-field. With various brands, models, engine, battery and technology options available, it’s no wonder that some people find the process stressful. Here at Tangelo Used Cars, we want your purchase to be easy-peasy, so we’ve put together some top tips for purchasing a used car.

Identify your important requirements

When it comes to choosing the right car for you, we all have different requirements, so it’s important to understand exactly what you need from your next set of wheels. Perhaps you’re looking for a fun weekend car, like an Audi TT, a “workhorse” for business and/or leisure, like the Range Rover Sport. Or perhaps you need something roomy enough to fit four kids and a four-legged friend, such as the Mercedes-Benz GLC, for example. Before starting your search, make a list of your necessities. For example, boot space, 0-62 speed or a feature like hands-free Apple Car Play.  

Do some homework

Every manufacturer has a wealth of model information available on their websites, and, to help you narrow down your search, our very own Tangelo website provides a list of different manufacturers to search through. Unsure on what brand is right for you? You can also filter your search by age, body style, fuel/transmission, colour and/or number of seats.

Be comfortable with your budget

With finance options available on selected models* with Black Horse Finance Limited, our expert Sales Consultants can help you identify the finance product that’s right for you. By identifying the price bracket that you’re comfortable with, we can efficiently and easily provide a quotation on your selected model. Naturally, we also provide cash and part-exchange options, to ensure your purchase experience is stress free and suits your needs.

*Some models may not be eligible for finance, due to the age of the vehicle.

Try before you buy

Our friendly sales team can send you a walk-around video of your model of interest, but nothing quite compares to seeing the car in-person. If you are available to visit our Customer Hubs in Exeter or Plymouth, we recommend you try before you buy, so you are confident that you’ve chosen the car that’s right for you. As they say, the proof is in the pudding!
