Are you fed up of your current car? Thinking of splashing out on a brand spanking new Fiesta or Focus, but worried about your budget? Well, if you are looking to change your car without having to re-mortgage the house, you should consider used Ford cars.
Buying second hand doesn’t mean that you’ll end up paying over the odds for a clapped out banger sporting more than 100,000 miles on the clock. Some used Ford cars are in great condition and have all sorts of benefits.
Used Ford cars offer excellent value for money as they are often much cheaper to buy than other brands and when you combine this with their renowned reliability, you know that your money is being well spent.
When on the hunt for a new car, you’ll need to think about your lifestyle and what you want the car to do – we’re not talking James Bond gadgets here, but whether it can provide what you need. For example, it would be a bit silly for a family of five to go for a Ford Ka, or a single person just pottering around town to opt for a Ford Galaxy.
- Best for families: Ford S-Max, Ford Galaxy, Ford Mondeo
- Best for reliability: Ford Fiesta
- Best for performance: Ford Kuga, Ford Focus, Ford C-Max
- Best for value for money: Ford KA, Ford Fusion (B-Max)
Ford is a brand synonymous with reliability in the UK, it has topped consumer reliability surveys for years on end, so you can rest assured that used Ford cars won’t let you down. The majority of repairs and maintenance can be done fairly cheaply, so you don’t have to worry about huge MOT bills every year.
Another benefit to used Ford cars compared to other brands is the excellent fuel efficiency. There’s no use buying a cheap used car if it is going to drink fuel for fun as it will only end up costing you a lot more in the long run. The fuel economy and low sale prices are two of the reasons that Ford is a brand offering great value for money.
Where other used cars might end up looking outdated after a couple of years, Ford manages to remain stylish. Their exteriors are well designed, so that even five or ten years after first hitting the road, some used Ford cars look like they have just pulled out of the showroom.
Of course, there are benefits to buying new vehicles, but if you’re on a tight budget, you can get some of the same great advantages with previously owned vehicles. Take a look through the used Ford cars in stock at Matlock Ford and change your car for something better.
