Why Buy a Used Car?
- Lower Insurance Rates: Most first-time drivers are typically teenage drivers, which comes with the unfortunate burden of higher insurance rates for younger, newer drivers. Those rates may also increase with a brand new model, because if a new car requires repair after an accident, the labor and parts needed will probably come with higher costs that require wider coverage.
- High-End Trims, Low-End Costs: Buying "used" doesn't mean you're getting behind the wheel of a decades old jalopy. "Used" could very well mean a model that is only a few years old, which could mean it's higher end trim will come at lower cost compared to buying a higher end trim of a new model. So there's no need to pay more for incredible technology and convenience features!
- Better Overall Value: Sadly, depreciation is inevitable. A car is an investment, and when you buy brand new at higher prices and rates, that return on your investment will greatly diminish when it's time to sell or trade-in that once new car. A used car may still depreciate, but the initial costs of the purchase will be lower so when it's time to sell or trade-in your used car, that return on investment will have greater value.
With all the latest technology bells and whistles, who wouldn't want a brand new car? These benefits may be tempting, but a new car often comes with a potentially hefty price tag especially for first-time and teen drivers.
