Best Used Car Options

Picking a new car can be a tricky decision, especially when you’re on a budget, and there are so many options out there. The decision will of course depend on what your requirements are. Here are some of the best options depending on what you’re looking for.

Best Reliable Cars: Japanese cars tend to come top here. If you’re looking for something bulletproof, then a Honda Civic or Accord would be an ideal choice. They come in a variety of options too.

Best Fast Cars: If you’re looking for more bang for your buck, then there are few better options than Saab’s performance-oriented Aero cars.

Best Luxury Cars: The German marques tend to hold value well, making them quite expensive, but you can buy a used Lexus or Jaguar for comparatively little.

Best Small Cars: There are an incredible range of small cars to choose from. The Ford Focus is the undisputed king of compact cars. You can choose from extremely frugal models to the sporty ST.

Used Cars

Best Family Cars: We’ve already mentioned the Honda Accord as a great used buy. The Skoda Octavia is also an excellent car if you don’t mind the badge.

Best Off-road Cars: Off-roaders are often quite expensive, but most Jeep models are available for a very low price. Nothing fancy, but they get the job done.

You can find second hand cars in Paisley on the S1 Cars site. Remember that being on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t get a great car.
