WHEN buying a used car, having a clear idea of your budget is the best way to ensure you get the vehicle you need at the price you can afford.
Crunching the numbers before you start searching ensures you’ve got the confidence that you can afford the car of your dreams. (Or the sensible family saloon you really should be buying.)
Model: Vauxhall Astra
Cash used to be king when buying a used car, but today, finance is the UK’s preferred way to buy a new motor. You can spread the costs over a longer period and access better rates than a credit card or some personal loans.
Sun Motors is full of low-cost, low-mileage cars to suit every budget. You’ll find everything from low-mileage city cars to the latest sports cars, and everything in between.
Whether you’re paying cash or using our low-cost credit finance, here’s what your budget will stretch to on Sun Motors.
(Representative APR 12.9%)
There are several ways to buy a new car, including paying cash, using a credit card, or arranging finance.
If you’re paying cash, you’ll need the money to hand. We’re not able to see your bank account (thankfully), but a quick check of your savings should provide all the numbers you need.
Most of us use some form of financing to purchase a new car.
Credit cards are a convenient choice, but if you don’t qualify for a 0% deal, interest rates can have a huge impact on your income..
PCP and HP are popular ways to pay for a new car, and Sun Motors makes it simple to check what you can borrow.
Sun Motors has created the UK’s First Finance-First Marketplace

Model: Vauxhall Astra
Our favourite budget car is this classic Vauxhall Astra 1.6i SRi. It’s not fast or fashionable, but it’s a low-mileage family car that will do the job for a good few years yet. At less than £2.5k, you’re getting a 9-year-old car with the sporty SRi trim. Love this.
Other great cars under £2.5k
Model: Ford Focus
We’re loving the ever-reliable Ford Focus 1.0T EcoBoost Titanium at £4,795. For less than £110 per month you could be driving this fabulous five-door family runaround. The turbocharged three-cylinder engine is quick enough, but you’ll get good economy from the Euro-6 powertrain.
Other great cars under £5k
Model: Audi A3
We’re going for the AUDI A3 2.0 TDI S line Saloon. Why? Look at it. Fast, practical, fun, functional, and affordable. It’s all these things and more, and less than £230 per month.
OK, so it’s a diesel which is less popular than it once was, but if you’re looking for a sporty and sensible mile-muncher, this is our choice.
Other great cars under £10k
Model: Volkswagen ID.3
Now we’ve got some budget to use, we’re going to spend it on the 2021 Volkswagen ID.3 150Kw Life Pro Performance. This is a very capable EV that’s a great intro to electric driving at an attractive price. You’ll get 200 miles per charge, a top speed of 99mph, and some fantastic in-car entertainment. The cash you save on petrol can contribute to the £259 monthly payment.
Other great cars under £15k
Model: SEAT Leon
This nearly new Seat Leon 5dr 1.5 TSI Evo (130ps) FR Sport is cheaper than the VW Golf, and we reckon it offers better value. You’ll get the super-fast 130hp engine, which is as fast as you need.
Inside and outside, the FR trim is absolute quality, and all for around £400 per month. That’s a massive saving off the new price for this extra-hot-hatch.

Sun Motors is a seamless, straightforward, transparent platform that ranks by customer searches, not payments. It offers innovative financing and concierge services, ensuring a simple, fair car-buying experience.
Enjoy:
We’re going to keep this short and sweet. If you’ve got significant cash in hand, then it’s a great way to pay for a new car. You avoid paying interest and can buy the car you want immediately.
But buying a car will leave a big hole in your savings.
The majority of us will use finance to spread the cost over several years. Buying a car is a lot of money and a big commitment, and credit provides a convenient way to break it down into monthly payments.
In the past, cash was king as it gave you the ability to haggle down the price. But in 2025, who wants cash?
When buying privately, there are loads of things you should check (which we’ve covered in this used car checklist).
One of the best reasons to buy from Sun Motors is that every dealer has been thoroughly vetted, and every vehicle they sell has been carefully inspected to ensure it’s honest, reliable, and in roadworthy condition.
You can lift the bonnet, take it for a test drive, and kick the tires, but unless you’re a pro, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to learn much. Buying a used car is about trust, and you can trust Sun Motors.
Very easy.
Ok, we’ll go on. The intelligent, AI-powered search means you can search based on your make, model, budget, monthly repayments, and more.
(Representative APR 12.9%)
When you find the car you want, connect with a dealer, arrange finance (or transfer the cash), and the car is yours.
And if you’re buying with Sun Motors finance, that can all be arranged, signed, and done in less than 24 hours. That’s faster than most main dealers.
Buying a used car? Check out Sun Motors and find your next vehicle today. Whether you’re looking for automatic, manual or electric, use Sun Motors to decide on your next model.
