The information has been taken from Auto Express who road tested these cars. 1- Ford Focus Econetic – 85. 7mpg 87. 5 miles per gallon is an incredibly impressive figure and the test proved that it lived up to and beyond the advertised mpg of 76. 3mpg. This car managed to drive for 307. 5miles on £20 fuel, so a full tank of £60 would give almost a thousand miles. I think my Toyota Prius Hybrid drank more petrol than this; I use to get around 300 miles for £35 worth of fuel. The Ford Focus Econetic has similarities to a hybrid vehicle; it uses the kinetic energy produced while breaking to provide energy to drive, as well as the petrol that’s being used. The Focus also has the stop start technology where the car switches off when the car stops and starts again at pull off. Other factors making this Ford Focus Econetic more eco-friendly is the fact that there no spare wheel in the back, they supply special foam that fixes the punctured tyre. The Ford Focus also has low rolling resistance tyres, which helps reduce the amount of energy needed to progress forward. 2- VW Golf Bluemotion – 78. 3mpg
VW advertise the Golf Bluemotion saying it gives an average of 74. 3mpg, so it was a pleasant surprise to read that this particular road test gave the car an average of 78. 3mpg. The VW Golf in my opinion is better looking and more solid than the Ford Focus Econetic. The Bluemotion with £20 fuel gave a total of 281 miles. Start and stop technology is also a feature on the Golf. The Bluemotion technology advises the driver on when to change gears to get optimum fuel economy. Again just like the Focus, the Golf Blue Motion comes with low rolling resistance tyres. I’d love to own either of these cars as they have amazing money saving capabilities. For now I just have to put up with a Citroen, which I bought from used Citroen Oxfordshire dealership.

If you’re a car buyer in the market for a car then used cars may be what you should be looking at. Whether we want to admit it or not it is a fact of life that nearly everything we do today is somehow connected to our finances. Where we shop, what we eat and the clothes and shoes we wear all tell a story. Where driving is concerned it is no different, if we drive, and if we do drive what we drive, it all comes back to money. This is the biggest factor influencing the decision to buy a car, not how many miles the vehicle gives per gallon, not how beautiful the color is, or even whether the transmission is manual or automatic. That distinction goes to the cost of the car, and for this reason many persons are opting to purchase used cars these days as against new cars. One of the costs that come with owning a car is the cost of insuring it. Barring cases such as classic cars, the cost of replacing a new car in the event of an accident will be more than that of an older model. As a result of this the insurance for used cars will usually be less, sometimes significantly so, than that for new cars. Another factor people take into account in choosing between new and used cars is depreciation. It is estimated that a new car will lose between 20-30 percent of its value during the first two years of being owned. It may be considered fiscal prudence to forego this loss to the value of a new vehicle and just get a model that is two or three years older instead. There is also the factor of the reliability of the cars produced these days. Whereas in years gone by used cars were considered junk, cars are now better constructed and a two-year-old car is still relatively new with a lot more miles left in it. The matter of warranties is also taken into account in the decision to purchase a vehicle. In the past only new cars generally had warranties but that is no longer the case. An ever-increasing number of manufacturers are now offering extended warranties on certified used cars. This could come in handy one day down the road and save you a lot of money.
One of the reasons people were hesitant to purchase used cars in the past was the uncertainty surrounding such a purchase. This has, in large part, been eradicated and using a vehicle identification number (VIN) the history of the vehicle in question can be scrutinized. These days several companies sell reports such as these, which are quite comprehensive and give vital information. Carfax and Auto Check are two of the better-known vendors of these types of reports. One more thing people in the market for cars may find influencing their decisions in purchasing used cars over new cars is the availability of great deals. If one can get a nice looking car in good condition with very low mileage it may be too good a deal to pass up. There will still be a lot of people out there who want and will purchase new a car. There are a lot more however, who will exercise the option of used cars, and if the above factors are anything to go by, this trend will continue for some time to come. People have many reasons to buy used cars in these days. One of them is depreciation. A new car will lose between 20-30 percent of its value during the first two years of being owned.

This seems more like a story of yesteryears now as buying a car has never been easier!Economists throughout the world are discussing the great Indian middle class that is booming. Products and services that were beyond the budget of the common man suddenly seem to be easily procurable. Even in case of cars, buying a four wheeler is not a far-fetched dream anymore. Markets today are flooded with a plethora of options and as is said, customers are like the kings. While there are many people prefer to opt for car loans but one always feels burdened by the Easy Monthly Installments (EMIs) irrespective of however simplified the schemes may be. In such a scenario, there are many people who opt for used cars or second hand cars. ‘Used cars for sale’, go anywhere in any market in India and you are bound to see this sign. If one takes a look at India’s capital, the market for used cars in Delhi is humongous and burgeoning. One of the major reasons for its steady growth in the Capital is because people are aware of the numerous advantages that come along with buying used cars in Delhi. One of the biggest advantages is that a second hand car accords more confidence to the owner amidst the maddening city traffic as compared to a brand new four wheeler. In case of the latter, one usually tends to verge on paranoia and the constant fear of the car being hit on the chaotic Delhi roads. Further, another added advantage of used vehicles is that it gives the person plenty of choices. In fact the huge Delhi market for second hand cars has so much to offer to the customers that they are easily spoilt for choice. For instance, if one wants to buy a fancy sedan or a sports utility vehicle (SUV), car dealers can provide one with such lucrative deals that one can actually go ahead and make the purchase of his/her choice. What’s more is that in a lot of cases, added accessories like stereo-systems, amplifiers, woofers, modified speakers etc can be found in certain used cars for sale. These deals can especially prove to be a big boon for the younger generation or even others who have an ‘ear for music’. As is clear, there is no dearth of options in India’s capital when it comes to buying used cars. However, one must be extremely circumspect in this regard and ensure that one doesn’t get trapped in a vicious trap laid down by corrupt or dishonest car dealers. All the components of the car must be thoroughly checked before making the purchase and if possible, one must take a test drive. After all, it is a huge sum of money that the customer doles out. If these pointers are taken care of, buying used cars in Delhi can prove to be a smooth, hassle-free process.

The answer is simple. The Tamil Nadu capital is one of the largest automotive exporters of India. Touted as one of the fastest growing cities in the world, Chennai has witnessed massive growth and development over the past few decades. The city’s economy has got a major boost owing to its expanding industrial base especially the automobile industry. Consequently, the progress of the cosmopolitan city has resulted in the emergence of a new middle class in Chennai that is constantly striving to climb up the class hierarchies. If one specifically focuses on the sector of used cars for sale in the city, one will realize that the development in Chennai has equipped people with a growing purchasing power. Hence, the market for used cars in Chennai has seen a spurt of growth over the last few years. Chennai is one of the major IT hubs of India and also one of the largest exporters of software and other IT-related services. This has created a big job market in the city as well. Many IT professionals and software engineers, hence, end up coming to Chennai from different parts of the country. Many of them end up settling down in the city as well. It is amongst the immigrant population of the city that there is a growing trend of investing in second hand cars or used cars for sale. As such, the market for used cars in Chennai has developed, predominantly over the last few years. Furthering the concept of development a bit more, one can see that though Chennai has undergone phases of extensive development, it has brought along with it many disadvantages as well. Flyovers and multi-lane roads have resulted in a chaotic traffic situation in Chennai. Though this problem is common to almost all the big metros not just in India but across the globe, in Chennai too it creates havoc. As the number of vehicles is rising in the city over time, the traffic of the city is increasingly becoming a menace of sorts. In such a scenario, there are many who avoid taking the risk of buying new cars and prefer investing in used cars. Though Chennai is largely perceived as a city that welcomes you with its simple and unassuming population but there can be many dubious dealers who can trick naive customers into buying old or dilapidated cars in the name of used cars. As prospective customers, people must have a thorough check of the vehicle they intend to purchase. A few steps of caution can surely result in a lifetime of joy, just in the kind of budget one wants!
