Here at Ramseys Garage in Newton Aycliffe, we’re enjoying one of our busiest starts to the year, with demand for quality used cars increasing on the back of slow new car sales. Our own positive expectations for used car sales have proved correct, with customer loyalty being key. We’ve seen many local customers returning for car sales, servicing and repairs many of which come from Newton Aycliffe , Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Ferryhill, Spennymoor and Durham.
Our location at the entrance to Aycliffe Business Park also means we’re very easy to find what ever direction you’re traveling from.
Ian Ramsey, General Manger at Ramseys Garage said, ‘Optimism around used car sales and after sales activities is encouraging, which isn’t surprising when you read new surveys such as ‘Experian’ suggesting “the sales environment for new cars continues to be a significant challenge”.

Here at Ramseys Garage in Newton Aycliffe, we’ve been busy putting together one of County Durham’s best selection of quality used cars. The credit crunch and recession has meant more families are now tightening their belts looking to purchase a pre-owned or nearly new vehicle rather than spend their hard earned cash on a new car. It’s common knowledge that new cars can depreciate in value by as much as 40% in the first year.

The best way to reduce depreciation is to stay clear of new cars especially offers which advertise huge discounts on RRP, or even tempting finance or VAT free offers which are never true, ask anyone who’s checked their invoice. The simple truth is new cars loose value as soon as you drive away from the forecourt.

The older the vehicle you purchase, the less money you are likely to lose in depreciation. All our vehicles have been hand picked to take all the above factors including mileage,  into consideration, so you can be sure the vehicle you buy from Ramseys Garage will represent the best vale for money, both now and when you return it as a part exchange.
