Save Big on End of Financial Year Car Sales with Aspley Mazda

Part #3 on Aspley Mazda’s Mega EOFY Event

Is your dream of a shiny new car clashing with the harsh reality of being on a budget? With the cost of living high and the price of new cars the same, a lot of people are looking for the best way to balance quality with affordability. There are all kinds of approaches you can take, from seeking pre-approved loans to bidding at auctions to buying used cars from online sellers. But in June, there’s one avenue that tops the list for variety and reliability: end of financial year car sales. 

Typically running from late April and throughout June, end of financial year car sales are the best time of year to score massive discounts on quality cars with free on-road costs included. As dealers strive to clear old stock and meet sales targets for the year, the potential is there for you to come across phenomenal savings. 

Aspley Mazda is Australia’s largest Mazda dealer and provides the community on Brisbane’s northside with the highest-quality new and demo Mazdas on the market plus used cars of all makes and models. The Aspley Mazda EOFY Event is our biggest car sale of the year and the perfect opportunity to upgrade your own vehicle. 

Here is Aspley Mazda’s guide to how to save money while car shopping and the perks of EOFY car sales.

How to save money while car shopping

A new car is one of the largest and most expensive purchases you can make. It’s natural to want the highest value for your money that you can get. Here are some tips for stretching your budget a little further when you’re shopping for a new car:

Do your research

Figure out what kind of car you want, what’s in your price range and any non-negotiable features. Then start looking at your car shopping options. The more research you do, the more prepared you’ll be. 

Try ex-demos and ex-rentals

Ex-demo cars are vehicles that dealers have used for display and test drives, and buying one can give you a car that’s essentially new at second-hand prices. Buying an ex-rental car lets you explore newer models with more advanced safety features while keeping prices low. 

Get your timing right

The timing of your car purchase can save you potentially thousands of dollars. The best times to negotiate are at the end of the month and the end of the financial year, when salespeople are eager to hit targets. End of financial year car sales give you access to one-of-a-kind deals that are only available for a limited time. 

New vs. used cars: pros and cons

Whether you’re picking them up at end of financial year car sales or somewhere else, both new and used cars have pros and cons for you to consider:

New cars

Pros:

• New manufacturer warranties that commonly last around 3-7 years
• The latest technology, entertainment options and safety features
• No previous owners or hidden surprises in their history
• A wide variety of choices and finance rates

Cons:

• Higher prices
• Higher running costs, with steeper insurance premiums
• A sharper depreciation rate, with value declining swiftly over the first few years
• Additional costs such as stamp duty

Used cars

Pros: 

• Lower purchase prices that allow you to afford a better vehicle
• Slower depreciation periods with a more stable resale value
• Cheaper extras
• Lower registration and insurance costs

Cons: 

• More wear and tear
• Potential mechanical issues 
• An unknown history with the potential for unrecorded accident damage
• Outdated technology and safety features that are no longer cutting-edge
