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
Lowest financing rate from the bank if you are borrowing
Lower maintenance requirements
Latest technology
New car warranty

NEW CAR - DISADVANTAGES

Must be bought at a dealership
Much more expensive than a used car
Higher cost of depreciation versus a used car
Unhealthy off gassing of the car interior plastic, glues and resin

USED CAR - ADVANTAGES

Drastically reduced price
Less depreciation
Lower cost of ownership
Possibility of buying from a private party
Better extended engine and transmission warranty (if bought as a Certified car)

USED CAR - DISADVANTAGES

Higher risk of repair due to aging and miles
Possibility of previous accident and or abuse
Higher interest rate from the bank if you are borrowing money
Need for a physical and mechanical inspection by a specialist before purchase
Outdated technology
