Seems like a win to meMy kids say the Tepee is a Postman car and if I ever got one they'd stop travelling with me.
For what its worth, your resale value on the Ateca will be awful, but then, its reflected in the purchase price.
Although a very different animal from the cars you've looked at perhaps you should consider the [broken link removed]. It's the opposite of cool but at €20K new, with a 5 year warranty, low tax, 1.6 diesel, big boot and sliding rear doors for easy access, it might be worth a look. And no one will even want to steal it!
Actually, having checked I see the Skoda is cheaper.!
It's all down to desire-ability though. There would be more punters looking to buy your 3 year old Octavia than a 3 year old Ateca when the time comes to sell, even if it were a better vehicle.
Well if we do go down the PCP route we will either upgrade at the end or buy it out.
I would have thought that resale value (and second- hand desirability) will still be a factor, whichever route.
For example, once upon a time if you bought a new Fiat it became difficult to change brand subsequently as any other brand dealership would offer a ridiculously low trade in value relative to a Fiat dealer - probably these days are gone (?). I am not commenting on the relative merits of any of the cars you are considering in this regard. But consider that you may want to change brand next time around.
Nissan; French build quality and Japanese design flair...Dacia Duster is a nice car. Not sure is it officially a SUV but it looks like one anyway.
Cheap and probably won't lose as much value in depreciation as a more expensive car.
In the same family as Nissan and Renault.
Good post and good advice. I'd add "and don't buy it new" to that. Buying new is a mugs game.Best advice, get out there and test drive as many as you can, decide on one, get three quotes and put your order in!
I agree. I would also add that you should check up north. I've done some investigation recently and thus far the cars seem to have lower mileage, higher spec and are about 1.5k cheaper after VRT compared to similar cars down south in the 12-15k price bracket.Good post and good advice. I'd add "and don't buy it new" to that. Buying new is a mugs game.
Its not the fact that the baby is coming along we are getting a car we where planning on getting one anyway as both our cars close to 10 years of age. So I don't use it that much so decided to get a new car and one that can accommodate the arrival and not bust our backs putting stuff in and our wallets buying it.
So I just put it out there to get views and then as users say do a few tests and narrow it down and take it from there
