Used SUV Car buying guide II

61

Before you begin your research on a used SUV car here are questions to be considered:

  • How much could you afford?
    • Your budget is the first thing that you should take into consideration before making a purchase decision.
    • Choose to look at only those used SUV cars that fall into your pre-estimated budget. Sometimes the price quoted may be a few thousand more than what the seller is expecting, so you can select accordingly.
    • In case you are looking at EMI options, then use online resources that help you calculate your monthly EMI based on the amount of loan your budget can handle.

  • What SUV car should you buy - that fulfills your basic needs within your predicted budget.
    • Decide what SUV car which suits your lifestyle and image the best.
    • Decide on whether you want a small SUV, a mid size one or a large SUV to commute long distances.
    • Other than the type of SUV car, it is also important that you decide on whether you are more comfortable with a petrol or diesel engine.
    • Talk to friends or acquaintances who drive SUV cars that appeal to you; word of mouth is often one of the best ways to gather information about reliability or quirks of certain models.

  • Should you lease or buy your next SUV car.
    • A lease requires little or no money up front and offers lower monthly payments. But when the lease ends, you are left without a SUV car and will need to replace it. Buying a SUV car is more expensive initially and the monthly payments are higher. But at the end of the loan, you will own a SUV car you can still drive or sell.
    • Advantages of Leasing
      • You can drive a more expensive SUV car for less money.
      • You can drive a new SUV car every few years.
      • There are no trade-in hassles at the end of the lease.
    • Advantages of Buying
      • When interest rates are low, it makes more financial sense to own a SUV car rather than lease it.
      • There are no unexpected mileage penalties for increased driving.
      • There's more flexibility — you can sell the SUV car whenever you want.

  • What mileage is OK for a used SUV car?
    • In general, purchasing a SUV car with a very high mileage for example 250,000 km (155,000 miles) and higher would be considered very high.

When considering the 'mileage' count, it simply means that when choosing a SUV car whether it has 60,000 or 80,000, it is not as important as the fact that it was well maintained and accident-free.
