If your car has seen better days and you are thinking of trading it in, you may be wondering if you should buy a brand new one or go for a used vehicle instead.
Although a brand-new car will look pristine and will be produced to your requirements in terms of elements of the specification, a second-hand car has many benefits.
Here are 4 advantages of buying a pre-owned car
A pre-owned vehicle is cheaper
You will pay far less for a second-hand vehicle than you will a brand new one as much of the depreciation will have already occurred. Even a car that has only been on the road for a few months will cost far less.
If you have your heart set on a brand new car, look for a pre-registered one instead. Although they have never been driven, they have been registered to the dealership and so, the final sales price should be a little easier on your purse strings.
Vehicle Warranty
You may be attracted to a new car because it comes with a long-term warranty. Although a pre-owned vehicle usually does not come with more than a 30-day guarantee, that doesn’t mean you can’t get one. The premium you pay will depend on the mileage, age, and type of vehicle and will give you peace of mind that it is covered should anything go wrong.
Many companies offer extended warranties, so it’s worth shopping around. When comparing policies offered by Endurance Vs. CarShield, for example, both have their pros and cons, so you need to spend a bit of time figuring out which warranty cover suits you best.
How quickly do you need your new vehicle?
When buying a new car, there can be a long wait between ordering and producing the vehicle. When buying a second-hand car, the deal can be tied up very quickly. So, if you are in a bit of a rush to get an alternative vehicle, pre-owned is probably your best option.
If you are buying from a dealership, they can usually have the paperwork tied up within weeks, if not days. They will also ensure that the vehicle has been professionally cleaned and looks great when you come to collect it.
An extensive selection of vehicles
There are only a certain number of new vehicle models produced each year, so you could be restricted before your search even begins. A car will usually last ten years or more, so by opting for pre-owned, you will have a wider choice of vehicle brands, styles, and colors to choose from. Second-hand is also great if there’s a style or interior that you are particularly interested in but is no longer manufactured.
Whatever make and model of vehicle you have in mind, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a pre-owned one that suits your budget. With so many used cars to choose from, your biggest issue might be narrowing things down!
