With the new car registrations looming up, you may be thinking of selling your old tired but trusty car.
In which case you will be pleased to know of a new incentive that that will help both buyers and sellers.
Car buyers can now benefit from the peace of mind offered by a free 30-day warranty on any vehicle bought through market-leading Auto Trader magazine or its online equivalent. Research shows that as the vehicle moves out of the comfort zone provided by the standard manufacturer’s 3-year warranty, the failure rate of cars leaps up by 50 percent.
In a recent Auto Trader survey of more than 1,250 car owners, 86 percent said the peace of mind from a warranty is worthwhile, and with the majority of the cars featured in Auto Trader either approaching or past the 3-year mark, some initial protection against sudden failures will ease the minds of potential purchasers.
Auto Trader’s 30-day warranties include cover for up to £500 parts and labour for repairs because of mechanical or electrical failure providing the car is less than ten years old or under 100,000 miles.
In this dodgy world of second hand car sales it is refreshing to know there are Honest John’s out there whose intentions not to rip of Joe Public.
