If you want a super mini that looks good and is good on fuel consumption, then BMW's Mini Cooper is a perfect choice of used car. Not only is the Mini Cooper good on fuel consumption it is also low on road tax (especially if you go for a Mini One). However, do not let fuel consumption kid you into thinking that a Mini Cooper is a slow car. Mini Coopers have now been around for a few years which makes them readily available on the used car market, I've seen quite a few of these at used car Manchester dealers.
Another good used car is the Vauxhall Astra. They start at a high price, but if you get a used one you can save a lot of money on the depreciation you'd get on a new one. These are also on the used car forecourts in Manchester quite frequently. A lot of the time, they are used as a company car for 2 years because of the fuel consumption. The Vauxhall Astra can come as a hatchback, saloon and estate.
One of the best used cars is the BMW 3 series. The BMW 3 series is a car that is expensive, yet picking up a used one will save a lot of money. BMW 3 series only have 4 seats, so there are enough for the family but not for taking the kids friends. BMW are a German brand that is well known in the automotive industry for creating stylish and luxurious cars.
Another good used car from BMW is the 1-series which comes in both 3 door and 5 door. The 1 series is great for younger people who want a cheaper but not cheap BMW. All BMWs can be bought with both petrol and diesel engines with both automatic and manual gearboxes.
A competitor to BMW is Mercedes, another German car company. Mercedes also pop up as used cars across Manchester. Mercedes make a variety of cars, from the C-Class which is the base saloon to the A-Class which is the supermini to the SLR which is Mercedes' supercar. You will hardly ever see a SLR on the used car market. However, at one used car Manchester dealer I have seen a used Mercedes SLR but it was still the price of a small price. Mercedes are often automatic.
Pickup trucks are also great used cars; you can save £10,000 on them easily. They have the same driving positions as a 4x4s but are half the price. You may not always find them on the used car dealer forecourts, but more on commercial vehicle forecourts.
