Usually, when I hear a question like, what convertible would you recommend, the answer presses to my lips – any. Of course, the key to understanding the question is to know what is needed. I usually ask what is the purpose of the purchase well and, of course, the budget.
Which convertible to buy? The purpose is extremely important, because buying a convertible is not always associated only with proper travel where old-growth forests, meadows and rustling willows.
Often it is also the choice of the first step to lansing. Let’s not forget that this is the criterion that young people, starting out in convertibles, follow. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with it. I remember the first bumps on my face when I drove my BMW through Sopot as a 20-year-old. Oh, what excitement it was, even local gangsters rolled their eyes. Leaving the car open on Monciak used to generate more interest than a photo with a teddy bear at an indulgence. Today, the bar as to admiration has only been raised, because the availability of convertibles is much greater. But still invariably, a car without a roof evokes extreme emotions – including those of a “masochist/spoiler.”
But to the shore, before buying a convertible, it’s worth asking yourself, why are we buying one? I advise this question to both novices and seasoned players. I already explain why?
Not more than a few months ago, I met with the head of sales of a German car brand,
with whom we spoke about their brand’s participation in the CP event. In the interview, he admitted that when he started his career in this chain, he sold 3 convertibles, one of which came back to him years later with 13,000 kilometers. I’ve been waiting for the so-called. The hook in this story. Well, the customer bought the car without thinking about how he would use it. The decision to buy a convertible was made under the influence of emotions, and the question WHY? did not fall. Consequently, the beautiful red roadster dusted itself off during service checks and “yawned” for years, as a family of 4 never took the car home to Costa Del Sol and for almost 9 years the car made 13,000, as the Mirks say, “around the chimney.” Therefore, before embarking on a search for a convertible, asking yourself the question – why – is not out of the question!
It’s also worth considering whether it’s your temporary infatuation with convertibles that will result in the car ending up in a dark corner in the parking lot under the block after the season. Because with convertibles, it’s usually the case that you fall in love with them outright or simply put them away in the parking lot. And here begins the trouble, as with misplaced gifts, except that the latter you can still return.
How much money do you have for these dreams?
It is no secret that the convertible in our country is treated like an invention. Despite the fact that more than 77k users (according to the Automotive Market Research Institute SAMAR) use a convertible in our country, there are still discussions, what kind of car is it? The biggest controversy is over time. Most people think that the convertible adventure lasts only two months a year. This public perception is important from the perspective of purchase and subsequent ew. resale, although it is known that
A convertible is not a Skoda Combi or some other Passerati that we buy “because my brother-in-law said we wouldn’t lose.”
It is worth considering how much to spend on a convertible especially if you are buying your first convertible. It is known that the answer usually lies in the wealth of the wallet. If we have, for example, 20k to spend on it and it is our first car, it is very common sense for me to suggest looking for a car in the middle of this amount. First of all, the purchase of a used car should not be about the whole amount, because we never know “what’s in the grass”, and surprises can also meet us a lot. Secondly, if you get carried away by your love of convertibles, you can sell your current unit after the season without hassle and
look for a higher price. What’s more, entering the world of convertible lovers will bring you closer to many interesting opportunities and give you support in buying your next car.
