BUYING CARS

EX-DEMO CARS CAN BE A CANNY BUY

- RYAN BIRCH

WHEN it comes to buying a car, plenty of people automatically gravitate towards a factory-fresh, brand-new model. That may be down to the allure of a zero per cent finance deal or a manufacturer incentive - but the reality is they might actually be paying more than they need for a new set of wheels. There is another option: ex-demonstrator cars.

Commonly advertised as 'nearly new' or 'delivery mileage' cars, these are new vehicles used by dealerships for test drives, showroom displays or short-term internal staff use. For those in the know, they can be a great way to save money.
