And who are willing to travel far for a great used car, men or women?

To start with the door in the house to fall, men are more willing (71%) than women (58%) to a nice second hand car that is not in the near state. Travel far shows, however, no guarantee for success, as evidenced by a Us study carried out under occasionkopers: 1 in 3 car buyers have a bargain done, three percent of the buyers of second-hand cars, even more than once, bought a car, which in retrospect still not an old lady, turned out to have been. That keeps people not to opt for a second-hand car, more than two thirds of the respondents indicates the next time the second-hand car want to buy.

Who go online looking for a used car are probably on the Marketplace, that is the most popular website for searching a used car. At some distance follow in order of popularity AutoScout24, AutoTrack, AutoTrader, and Gaspedaal.nl. Who like to physically search for a used car, do that more often in the brand dealer than for universal garages. Websites and showrooms of leasing companies are still relatively often skipped in the search, only five percent of the respondents to these places to look for a used car.

In addition, ex-lease cars, often more luxurious and that is a nice bonus. In addition to clarity about the maintenance price is an important consideration for consumers who are looking for a used car.

We will soon come, therefore, with a checklist on our site, which consumers can use when purchasing a second hand car.”
