Auto purchase guide: which car to choose ? And how ?
Buying a car is an important moment. It’s a pleasure, but these are also a lot of questions: what do we need ? What do we want ? What budget do we have ? Purchase pleasure or purchase reason ?
Starterre teams set up resources and guides to provide you with the answers and guide you in a multitude of available, new, 0 km, or used models. Our advisers are at your disposal to help you make your choice. So that your acquisition is a pure experience of pleasure.
Purchase of a new car: ask the right questions
Family car, small car, useful purchase or pleasure purchase. What parameters favor ?
To determine the one that will be the best car for you, it is important to prioritize your priorities. The use that will be made of the vehicle is obviously decisive to choose the appropriate car model. But that is not the only criterion ! We must also weigh between reasonable, Cartesian: budget, security, consumption. Without sacrificing pleasure: driving pleasure, performance, equipment, design. The best car is the one you will be happy to have bought, long after. And the good car for you is necessarily in our catalog of nearly 2,500 vehicles available.
Inexpensive city car or city dweller: same fight ?
Not necessarily. And its purchase does not mean the same way. If a Citroën C1, a Peugeot 108, a Renault Clio, a Twingo or a Fiat 500 are in the same segment, it is not the same services, and not the same budget. Again, the use that will be made of your car is essential, especially on the energy chosen. For exclusively urban use and a lower need for autonomy, the electrical models will be indicated. For mixed use which punctually incorporates long journeys, petrol or diesel car displaying a Crit’Air 1 or 2 sticker, and therefore always adequate for the urban environment, will be more suitable.

You have a large family, what is the best car ?
There was a time when the choice would have been simple. The time when only breaks could meet the needs of a large family leaving on the holiday road with the necessary baggage and equipment. The needs of a large family can now be met by four segments: break, SUV, minivan, or even ludospace, such as the Citroën Berlingo or the Peugeot Rifter. Possibility of 7 places, XXL loading volume, comfort and safety. The types of models available at Starterre cover all needs. From the most economical to the most exclusive, because it is far away when the family car sacrificed design or driving pleasure.
The budget above all ?
If your priority is to respect a purchase budget, the latter is reflected differently. But the right choice will not only be done according to the purchase price. It is first of all essential not to sacrifice the use parameter. To remain a good choice, the choice must be useful. The price is then modular: conversion bonus (formerly scrap premium), ecological bonus, financing, rental. Many devices allow you to save. Finally comes the cost to use: petrol, diesel or LPG do not have the same price at the pump, or the same consumption. Electric models will be the most economical per kilometer, they also have a reduced maintenance. They are more expensive to buy, but benefit from the best ecological bonuses. Not easy to do the right calculation. Know that our advisers accompany you in this process.

Difficult, if not impossible to categorically determine a winning model. You can find in the press lists “most reliable models”, “UFC Que Choisir” determines every two years its most reliable used model for each automotive segment. You will find opinions of journalists who will suggest that the German models are not always up to their reputation, that the Japanese produced outside Japan are less reliable. To get your own idea, it will be interesting to cross and synthesize different sources, articles and online reviews such as, for example, on forums.
What is the best used car ?
We must first determine if we want the best used car, or the best opportunity. A car with a good reputation, which has sold a lot will be in great demand on the second -hand market, and possibly. Another less popular but just as reliable model could be a better deal. Again, the opinion of our experts will be able to enlighten you.
Which car to choose when you drive a lot ?
To swallow the kilometers, favor comfort, which will also be your safety since it reduces fatigue. Then consider the budget taking into account more consumption and maintenance. Finally, do not neglect driving pleasure, design, your pleasure. If you spend a lot of time with her, it’s essential that you like your car.
