Buying a new 15-plate? Get the best price for your car with us

March will see the arrival of the latest 15-plate registered cars. This means two things: the usual rush of sales as people clamour to have the very latest models, and number plates, on their driveway.

It also means there should be some bargains going on pre-registered 64-plate vehicles, too.

Diesel models are still the most popular, despite some adverse recent publicity – they are still holding their value and commanding a premium over their petrol equivalents. Diesels will remain the best bet for anybody doing lots of miles, but it’s worth doing the maths to make sure you don’t lose out. If it’s city driving you do, then a lot of manufacturers’ have made huge leaps with the petrol engines, which are just as efficient as diesel on short journeys, with the benefit of costing less at the pumps, too.

However, regardless of which way you’re going – 15-plate, pre-registered, or even just seeing what’s out there on the second-hand market – remember to check with us before trading in your old car.
