According to an Odoxa survey, more and more of you are considering buying a new car, most often an electric or hybrid vehicle. However, there are a number of obstacles to overcome when it comes to purchasing a new car. Let's take a look at some of those challenges.
1. The purchasing process is laborious
It's clear that the path to buying a new car is often more full of pitfalls than rose petals. There are many obstacles in the decision making process – let's take a look at just a few.
Budget: buying a new car can be a big investment for many people. It's not always easy to determine a realistic budget before you start looking.
Negotiation: depending on the region, make, model and options chosen, the price will vary. The idea of having to negotiate a fair price with a seller can be daunting for some people.
Guarantees and insurance are essential but often opaque: it can be difficult to understand the different options in order to choose the one that's right for you.
Paperwork: it's a phobia for many of us, isn't it? The thought of having to understand, sign and file the various documents required to buy a new car can be a turn-off for some potential buyers.

2. Obtaining finance can be a real headache
It's true, sometimes getting the financing for a new car purchase can be complex. Interest rates, repayment terms and credit requirements vary depending on the financial institution and your credit history.
3. It's difficult to choose the right model
There's a wide variety of new cars on the market, each with their own features and benefits, so it can be difficult to choose the car that best suits your needs.
4. Charging and range are complicated for an electric car
The purchase of an electric vehicle is a good choice environmentally, especially with the European directives towards 100% electric mobility. The idea that charging is complicated is still widespread, however, with more than 330,000 fast-charging stations, the charging network in Europe is already very efficient and is constantly expanding.
5. Maintaining a new car is an uphill battle
When do you change the oil? How do you get around when the car is being serviced or repaired? How can you be sure that everything you are charged for was really necessary? Everything to do with after-sales service often has a bad reputation. But at Peugeot, we have the solution.
