Advantages Of Buying New Vs Used Cars

When you're in the market for a car, a certain question tends to come up a lot: "Do I buy new or used?" At Ray Price Chevrolet, we want to help drivers in the Mount Pocono, Tobyhanna, Scranton, Stroudsburg, and East Stroudsburg areas learn the advantages of buying new vs. used cars.

Read more to learn what a new car has to offer and the benefits that buying a used car can bring.

 

Why Buy A New Car?

Buying a new car requires a bit of a cost/benefit analysis. When you purchase a new vehicle, it is always going to be more expensive than if you bought a used car. But with a new car, you can get the most advanced technology and a variety of trims and packages to choose from.

A new car will perform at peak condition. With a fresh new vehicle, you shouldn't see any major repairs for those first few years. Apart from the occasional oil change, you won't have to worry about much with a new car.

Probably the most notable benefit of buying a new car however, is the fact that a new car will come with a warranty. This is great because if any serious repairs are needed early in the life of the vehicle, you can get them covered under the warranty.

 

Why Buy A Used Car?

A used car is a great option for drivers looking to save some money. You can get an affordable car that might even have a low mileage on it, allowing you to drive that used car for a while. Used cars are a sensible option if you don't feel the need for all the latest technology.

Another great benefit of buying a used car is that you won't have to worry about the depreciation that comes with a new car. When you buy a new car, the vehicle loses value from the moment you leave the lot. But when you buy a used car, that value has already been lost, so you end up making more off the investment.

And for drivers worried about not having a warranty on their vehicle, there is an option for them, too. Many dealerships offer certified pre-owned vehicles that are used cars that still carry a warranty. With these vehicles you can save money, but still get that great new car warranty.

 

New Vs Used Cars: Which Is For You?

When it comes to buying a new vs. used car, the question of which is better for you really comes down to whether you want to get ahold of the latest safety and entertainment technology. Cars are becoming more and more advanced, and buying the newest model of a vehicle is the easiest way to enjoy the newest advancements in automotive technology.

Used cars, however, are a safe choice for most drivers-you just need to be comfortable with driving an older vehicle. And if you want something newer and with a warranty, certified pre-owned vehicles offer a great middle ground. The key to finding a great used car is research. Being patient and doing careful research is all you need to find that perfect used vehicle.
