After The Offer

• In order to make your vehicle as good as an investment as possible, aim to keep it for as long as possible and at least for 3 years in order to spread the money you will lose on the initial depreciation over a longer period of time. Losing 5 grand in resale value over 10 years sounds a lot better than losing 5 grands worth of resale value after only 3 years.
• Make sure you meet the manufacturer’s service requirements whilst the car is in warranty and only use parts which are approved by the manufacturer. This way should anything go wrong with your new car shortly after your warranty expires, you have more chance of being treated with goodwill by the manufacturers upon making a claim.
• Be sure to get proof of each service because cars with a full service history are far more attractive to potential buyers for when you come to sell.
