Top 3 used car dealships in Newcastle

October 22, 2011 admin Used Cars

If you looking at used cars in Newcastle then this is certainly a good time for finding a bargain. There certainly is no shortage of used car dealers in and around the city and there are always plenty of private sellers too.

If you know what you are doing, then buying a used car from a private seller in Newcastle can save you a substantial sum of money, particularly if you are prepared to haggle a little. But you do need to bear in mind that buying privately is always more risky than buying from a dealer.

When you buy from a dealer you enjoy a considerable amount of legal protection. The car must be fit for use, be as descried and have no significant faults that have not been pointed out to you. If it does then it is your legal right to have the fault fixed or to get a refund.

The top 3 used car dealerships in and around Newcastle are:

Carcraft North East. This is a car supermarket and a little out of the city; in fact you will need to go through Gateshead and down the A176 to Birtley but it is worth the trip. There is a huge range of cars to choose from and all cars are prepared to a very high specification. They come with a one year guarantee, free servicing for a year, a 120 point check, and if you change your mind within 7 days you can exchange if for a different model.

Henson Motor Group. This is also a car supermarket located a little to the North of Newcastle in Forest Hall. It is very easy to get to by road and by public transport. Although the specification of its used cars is not quite up to the standard of Carcraft, there is still a free parts and labour warranty along with a number of vehicle checks including HPI. There are thousands of cars available and there are new arrivals every day.

Benfield. Benfield is a multi-brand dealership and there are 6 showrooms in Newcastle and a further three just a little further away. If you are looking for a nearly new or an approved used car this is your ideal dealership and you will find many examples, particularly of the more popular cars.
