New or Used?

Buying a car is an important decision that for many people takes weeks or even months of preparation. One of the most important decisions to make is, should you buy new or used? Many people always buy new cars, while others almost always choose to buy used cars. Before you make your decision, it is important to consider the advantages and disadvantages of buying a new car or a used car.

Choosing a Car

When choosing between your two options, it is important to keep a variety of factors in mind:

• Expense. Used cars cost much less than new cars. If you are on a tight budget, buying a used car may be a smart option for your finances.
• Depreciation. New cars lose thousands of dollars in value almost immediately after purchase. A used vehicle that was manufactured very recently may save you thousands of dollars over the most recent model.
• Reputation. A used vehicle of a reputable brand may last a lot longer than a new model of a less-reputable brand at the same price.
• Driver. Are you purchasing a car for a teenager or an inexperienced driver? A driver who is new to the road may fare better in a used car, saving you money on your insurance and in the event of an accident.
