Top 10 Kinds of Cars For 2017
You may have your heart set on a particular make or model and you might have
explored the new and second hand car prices on the internet and have decided
that you can afford to purchase the car of your dreams, but a question you have
to ask yourself is can you afford to run it? Previously you may have asked
yourself this question in passing and not really given it any real thought, but
with the changes in Vehicle Excise Duty in 2009 and spiraling fuel and
maintenance costs, coupled with the Credit Crunch and the through of recession
for the next few years then running costs become much more important, therefore
compromising and picking a car that you not only like, but will save you money
in the long run is a sensible thing to do.
Now cars are classed by how much
Carbon Dioxide they emit, therefore more environmentally friendly cars will be
charged less Vehicle Excise Duty than more polluting vehicles. At the time of
writing the least polluting cars will be exempt from paying tax at all, where as
the most polluting cars (class M) such as large, big engined 4x4 vehicles will
have to pay 440 per year. To help you pick the right car in this current
environmental and financial climate we've compiled a top ten list of cars and
car related schemes to consider that could save you money. Not only do you not
have to pay any tax on this vehicle, you can also avoid paying the showroom tax
as this diesel car is so economical it is exempt.
Although you can buy a bi-fuel
car from new many people pay to convert their current car to support LPG. - For
many years electric cars have been pitched as the salvation to spiralling fuel
costs and saving the environment from car pollution. If you're single and want
to save money on your car running costs or do your bit for the environment then
you have a lot more options than families who need a larger vehicle to fit
everyone in. If you're scared that you'll loose a lot of money on the value of
your car then buying a classic car may be the best option for you. Instead pick
a car that pure enthusiasts hanker after, as most classic cars tend to hold
their value, or indeed increase over time as long as they are looked after.
Maintenance costs are likely to be much higher with a classic vehicle and they
may not be the most economical on the market, but for pure return on investment
if you pick the right vehicle then you will likely get your money back when you
come to sell the car.
Those looking to save money on their everyday running
costs of their cars could consider car sharing schemes. Basically car sharing
schemes are set up for people to take turns when they drive, saving themselves
money on fuel, plus gaining the benefit that they do not have to drive all the
time! For those who tend to use public transport predominately and can't really
justify owning a car then a pay-as-you-go scheme may be the perfect way of
having access to a car without having to pay expensive rental costs. Spending
that nest egg in the current climate may not be the most sensible thing to do
therefore buying a car on a car finance scheme can be the smart move. Also you
will likely be able to afford a better car on finance than you might if you were
to buy a car outright.
