Looking for a family-friendly used car? If you're unsure what to buy, keep safety, reliability, suitability and budget at the forefront when searching for a new vehicle. Tony Lahood Motors has a range of minivans, SUVs and hatchbacks available.
To help you make an intelligent investment, read through this list of tips on what to look for when shopping for your next family car.
Car safety is usually at the top of the list for parents looking for a new or secondhand used car.
Start by consulting the ANCAP safety rating, as this is the independent and trusted voice on vehicle safety for Australia and New Zealand.
Standard safety features like airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control are standard across most cars. However, many of the best secondhand cars also have extra safety features. Some of these include:
• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Lane Departure Warning
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Blind Spot Monitoring
• Rearview Camera and Parking Sensors
• Adaptive Headlights
• Electronic Stability Control
If you find a secondhand car you like, research the options available for the specific make and model, and then take it for a drive.
Don't buy a Mazda3 hatchback if you have four children and a dog; it won't work. Consider your family's size now and in the future. Most people keep cars for at least five years, so plan to accommodate your family's changing needs.
How will you use your car?
• Consider an SUV with a roo bar if you want a used car that can handle long road trips.
• Choose a smaller, more economical vehicle if you're using it for the school run.
