The best way to save money on your next car

May 3, 2018

Who loves a good deal? Whether it be a 2 for 1 sale in store or buying sale items, everyone likes to get a bargain when it is time to make a purchase.

Who doesn’t love to go out for dinner on cheap Tuesdays or make it in time for happy hour at the local? How good is the feeling when you save money on expenses so your money is better saved for other moments in our life, for new experiences and memories!

So what about when buying a new car? We trade in our old car for money off our new one, we buy at the EOFY sales and we haggle for added extras such as floor mats or tinting. Although worth the extra money in our pocket, it is pretty tiring.

You don’t always have to wait for the right time of year to buy a car if you buy at auction. At Manheim we provide a massive range of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, light and heavy trucks, motorcycles, boats and recreational vehicles as well as machinery, plant and equipment and damaged vehicles.

People buy cars at auction for all types of reasons. It might be the appeal of buying a bargain, having the choice of literally hundreds of cars for sale at one location, or even the thrill of outbidding other buyers in an exciting auction environment.

Manheim also knows that a fair proportion of vehicles being purchased at their auctions are by first time car buyers. Walk the auction lanes and you will soon spot the young P-Plate drivers with mum or dad at their side, looking to get the best value for money vehicle that their hard earned savings will buy.

But we understand no matter if it is your first car, your second car or a family upgrade, you definitely want to get the best deal. But if the whole auction process seems daunting, we have an easy guide for you to follow here. Or another option is our BuyNow section, offering great car deals for a fixed price.

So don’t wait for the sales or the EOFY, try buying at auction and pass on the savings to that holiday you are dreaming of going on! Plus if you want to sell your old car, we will buy it off you at one of our Sell My Car buying centres.

Manheim operating locations hold weekly trade and public auctions for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, 4WDs and damaged vehicles while truck and machinery auctions are held monthly.
