Buying a Vehicle This Summer? Here Are 6 Tips to Keep You on the Right Track
Thinking of buying a van this summer? With longer days, better weather, and more time to browse, it’s actually one of the best times of year to upgrade your vehicle. Whether you're looking for a work van or something to support your weekend adventures, here are our top tips to help you make the right choice.
1. Plan Ahead for Holidays and Work Schedules
Summer often means time off, whether for holidays or staff leave – so make sure you're buying at a time that won’t disrupt business. If you rely on a van for work, plan the purchase around quieter weeks so you're not caught short.
2. Take Advantage of Summer Stock Levels
At PSD Vehicle Sales, summer is when we see a fantastic range of used vans for sale. From compact city vans to larger panel vans ready for the job site, our forecourt is stocked and ready. The earlier in the season you shop, the better the selection.
3. Inspect Before You Invest
Warm weather makes it easier to give any used vehicle a proper look over. Check bodywork in natural daylight, listen out for unusual engine sounds, and don’t forget to take it for a test drive. Our team is always on hand to talk you through the finer details of each vehicle.
4. Factor in Air Con and Comfort Features
Nobody wants to be stuck in a van on a hot day without decent air con. Make sure the vehicle’s cooling systems, fans, and interior comfort levels are up to scratch – especially if you spend long hours on the road.
5. Ask About Our Finance Options
We offer flexible finance packages to help spread the cost over 2, 3, 4, or 5 years – ideal if you're making a big purchase after a busy spring. We’ll work with you to find an affordable option that suits your circumstances.
6. Beat the Autumn Rush
Come September, lots of businesses start planning for Q4 – and demand for reliable used vehicles shoots up. By buying now, you’ll beat the crowd and enjoy summer behind the wheel of a van that fits your needs perfectly.
