A New or Used Car

...Which One Should YOU Buy?
There are very clear advantages and disadvantages to buying a new or used car.
In this article I will explain the main differences between the two. But first here is my video on the "Sweet Spot" of car ownership.
NEW CAR - ADVANTAGES
Care free ownership
No previous owner maintenance records to look through
Guaranteed accident-free car
No need for a mechanical or accident inspection at time of purchase

Lower maintenance requirements
Latest technology

NEW CAR - DISADVANTAGES
Must be bought at a dealership
Much more expensive than a used car

Unhealthy off gassing of the car interior plastic, glues and resin
USED CAR - ADVANTAGES

USED CAR - DISADVANTAGES
