As a member of NFU looking to buy an SUV, will I get better deals if I buy outright or with a finance deal?
Buying outright will usually be the cheaper option overall, but it’s a huge outlay, and the car starts to depreciate the moment it’s yours. There are upsides and downsides to both buying your SUV outright and finding a finance deal.
If you opt for leasing, it will cost a bit more, but you can spread that cost over the time that you have the car, and at the end of the lease you can hand the vehicle back and choose a new deal. And if you opt for an all-inclusive package you take away all of the stress of worrying about motoring costs; even insurance, road tax, and maintenance are all covered.
What should I look for when searching for the best value SUV and who can help me?
You may already have an idea about which SUV you want, but if not check out the Autocar guide the top 10 best family SUV’s on the market, there’s some good advice on value for money options.
It would also be useful to check out some of the car finance deals available from independent sourcing and financing companies; you may find you can drive off in a much higher spec vehicle than you thought you could afford.
What are the ‘hidden’ costs of owning an SUV and where can I get advice to help me through this minefield?
According to a report in The Week, SUV’s can be more expensive when it comes to fuel than some other vehicles, and some may produce more emissions than standard cars which can push the tax bracket up. There are certain makes and models, including hybrids, available that can help to combat these costs.
