When buying a used car there are quite a few tips to help you get the right vehicle and benefits if you try to purchase one owner, low mileage used cars with service history.Most Manchester car dealers will have a selection of used cars for sale offering different packages included in the sale price. Firstly decide on the type of used car that suits you and your family, decide on your budget, ask questions such as insurance group of the vehicle, how much is the road tax, what warranty is given with the car, does it have a service history and a current mot, how many owners has the vehicle had, what sort of fuel consumption can I expect to get from the vehicle, servicing costs and any other questions that may come into your head when you go to purchase your used car.
Where possible try and buy from a garage local to your area who you know have been there for some time.Ask people you know that have bought used cars from that garage have they been happy with their purchase, if there have been problems with the vehicle did the garage put the problem right, asking all these questions will steer you in the right direction and give you peace of mind when purchasing your used car.
Again where possible try and buy your used car from a garage that is a member of the Trading Standards Fair Play Charter which demonstrates their commitment to Fair and Honest Trading.Most Manchester car dealers will no doubt be able to offer finance to their customers ask the A P R you will be paying and check they are putting you with a finance company you feel comfortable with.
The benefits of buying a One Owner low mileage used car with service history are that you know the vehicle has had the maintenance it requires to keep the car in good condition and reducing the possibility of problems in the future.All vehicles require regular servicing and checking to keep them in good working order.
The most important thing to keep your engine in good working order is regular oil changes to help reduce wear on engine components and keep your engine running efficiently, check tyre pressures weekly as over or under inflated tyres can reduce the life of the tyres and can also effect fuel consumption,check brake pads on each service to avoid allowing them to get to low and causing damage to the brake discs, check wiper blades as worn blades can scratch your windscreen, check cambelt and tensioner condition and replace as manufactures recommendation as a snapped cambelt can cause untold damage and result in a very expensive garage bill.
Keeping your car well serviced / maintained will also help to keep up your resale value when disposing of your vehicle.

Using your vehicle during winter
Manchester car dealers Grange Garge always strives to put its customers first. Why not take advantage of the free information below, this will prove worth your while in the long run.
Over the last few weeks as we are all aware the weather has been the worst we have had in over 30 years. In these conditions with all the ice, snow and rain on the roads. It is very important that you maintain your vehicle especially if you are going to use your car on a regular basis. The following need checking:
Tyres
Check that all your tyres are in good condition and that they are set to the correct pressure; this will reduce MPG figures if underinflated. The tyre pressure settings can be found in the owner’s handbook for your car or usually there is a sticker on the inside of the car door with them on. If you have any trouble locating it, a good rule of thumb for most vehicles is 32psi all round. Or feel free to call in to the garage and we will set them for you.
Anti Freeze
During the winter it is very important to check that the strength of the anti freeze in you vehicles engine is correct to prevent the water in the vehicle becoming frozen. Trying to start a vehicle with a frozen water system can result in severe engine damage due to it overheating. It takes just a few minutes to check the strength and only an hour or so to drain the system and top up if needed. If you are not capable in doing this yourself why not pop into our Garage in Cheadle.
Windscreen Wipers and Washers
Again during the winter your windscreen wipers and washers are used a lot more than the summer months so it is important to check that your wiper blades are in good condition, make sure they are not torn or split. Split wiper blades will not clear your screen properly resulting in poor overall vision of the road ahead. Also your windscreen washer fluid needs to be kept topped up with a mixture of screen wash and water so that doesn't freeze in the winter months. It is also very important to check that during freezing conditions that your wipers are not frozen to the windscreen before using them, if they are this can result in damage to your wiper blades or possibly burning out the wiper motor. All you need to do to prevent this is just lift the wiper arms off the screen to check they are not frozen before using your wipers. Wiper blades and screen wash are also available at the garage.
Lights/Bulbs
During the winter months even more so than normal due to poor visibility it is once again important to make sure that all the lights on your car are working correctly. It takes just a few minutes to check them and it is a fairly simple and cheap to change any bulb, all of which can be done again at the garage.
De-Icer/Ice Scrapper
It is a very good idea to carry a can of de-icer and an ice scrapper in your vehicle to help you clear the ice off your vehicle to maximise visibility.
