Question

I need help to make up my mind between buying a new or used Astra Twintop. For the entry price of the Twintop there are some used high spec Design twintops 6 - 18 months old at a similar price .

What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying new and old?

Answer

Hi Rosemary,

If you buy new you can specify exactly what you want and will get a full 3 year warranty.

If you buy nearly new you get most of the warranty and won’t make a mistake on the spec because what you see is what you get. Someone else pays the first nasty bit of depreciation for you and you can drive away there and then. Assuming you have paid.

Matt
