Used prices as a whole tend to soften in the fourth quarter, and the cars nobody wants to own through a winter fall furthest. Winter cars are the exception: their prices hold while everything else drifts down.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"faq-q\">Should I wait until spring to buy a four-wheel drive?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"faq-a\">If you can. Demand for four-wheel drive climbs above its annual average as winter approaches, so autumn is the season you compete with the most other buyers for it. The cheap months for a winter car are late spring and summer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"faq-q\">Why does a cold start matter when viewing a used car?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"faq-a\">A warm engine hides weak glow plugs, smoke on start-up, a rattle in the first seconds, and a battery that struggles on a cold morning. Ask for a morning viewing and put your hand on the bonnet when you arrive. If it is already warm, you have not seen the car start.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"faq-q\">How do I tell a seasonal discount from a damage discount?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"faq-a\">Not from the car: by the time you view it, the underside is sprayed, the tyres are new and the interior is clean. The record is what separates them: where the car was registered, what damage was paid for, and what the mileage read when it was last officially recorded. A vehicle history check shows all three.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\t\t<section class=\"sources\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2>About this guide<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li><b>Seasonal prices<\/b>: fourth-quarter used prices falling between 1.6 and 5.3 percent against the third quarter, from the recurring market reports of Nordic auction operator Kvdbil.
