Many customers are reporting not being able to afford to buy a new car and due to financial restrictions have turned to used car dealers where they think they can get more for their money or find a good deal. The option of trading in an old car is also appealing to many. Price was, unsurprisingly, the most important factor for those buying a used car.
While an increasing number of car buyers are choosing to buy new cars, often seen as a way of lowering maintenance costs of older vehicles, the majority still prefer to buy second-hand in order to keep their own expenses down.
