What used car should you buy in 2023 | Blog | Dace Motor Group

Is this the year that you choose to upgrade your current car? If you’re ready to buy a used car, you might have an idea in mind of what make and model you are looking for. Or you may be open to ideas and more focused on what’s available within your budget.

Choosing a used car isn’t just about the looks or the latest mod cons.

It’s about finding a vehicle that has enough boot space for your pram and your weekly shop.

It’s about looking at how much space is available in the back. Your 13-year-old might have enough room at the moment, but what about if they have a growth spurt and suddenly reach 6 feet tall?

Perhaps your job could change in the coming months. You might need a car that can cope with a return to regular commuting around Manchester.

Buying a used car is an investment, and you need to feel confident that you have the right car that will continue to suit your needs.

At Dace Motor Group, we’ll take the time to talk to you about your driving habits. For over thirty years our trained sales advisors have been offering recommendations on which used car to buy. We listen to your requirements and we make sure that you can find the right car that ticks all of your boxes.

Here are a few of our recommendations for which used car to buy in 2023.

Ideal used car for commuters

If you need a car to commute around Greater Manchester, you need to have something that combines comfort, performance, and fuel efficiency.

Spending hours of your day driving means that comfort should be a priority. We think that the Mercedes-Benz C Class could be a great choice. Not only does the car offer stylish looks, but it also has the latest technology, great suspension and offers a comfortable driving experience for those clocking up long hours on the road.

If you need something more affordable, then the Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport has been popular amongst fleet drivers for quite some time. With adaptive cruise control, this could make driving along the M60 a breeze.

Perfect used car for first-time drivers

If you’re new to driving, you are probably looking for something small and nippy. For generations, first-time drivers have been flocking to cars such as the Ford Fiesta, the Vauxhall Corsa, Peugeot 107, and the Citroen C1.

We predict that these used cars will continue to be popular in 2023.

They offer timeless style and performance, and they continue to be in the lower insurance brackets, making the running costs more affordable than other used cars.

Finding a used car that meets the needs of family life

If you’re looking for a family car, you need something with ample boot space and leg room, but also promises value for money.

While many families are keen to make the most of the latest SUVs and crossovers, there are some fantastic deals to be found on hatchback and saloon cars. Used cars such as the Hyundai i40, the Ford Focus, and the Honda Civic will offer lots of space in the back as well as the latest infotainment centres which will keep the kids happy and occupied on long drives.

These used cars will look great on the ‘Gram

If looks and style and more important to you then look no further than the Mercedes-Benz E Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. These used cars will look fantastic on your Instagram Grid.

If you are looking for a convertible, why not consider a BMW Z4 or an Audi TT? You could even go old-school with a MINI convertible or a Mazda MX-5. These iconic designs will be sure to capture attention wherever you drive.
