Buying a New Car Vs. Buying a Used Car:


By Abbie

Buying a new car is exciting, which I'm sure most would agree with.  It's very ideal and you don't have as much to worry about.  It has a warranty, no one has used it before, it's yours.  It also has a good possibility of having little to no interest in a long-term payment plan.  With a new car, you avoid people trying to scam you into the used car and paying the bills for it.  They could also be trying to dump a bad car into somebody else's hands.  If the used car was handled badly previously, it could make it harder to get a warranty on it or even if they made modifications.  Getting a mechanic to look over your used car can also be costly.
However, buying a used car is cheaper than buying one new and less time consuming.  You can have used cars checked for any damage to lessen your worries.  You can get an extended warranty as well, but even if you don't, warranties these days can be for three to four years so depending on how old the car is when purchased you could still be covered.  Not only that, but we've come very far since the first car, so there's less reason to doubt the cars ability to function safely because it's not brand new.
It's up to you on whether or not you trust buying a used car.  There's lots of ways you can assure that it's safe, but in the end if buying a new car feels safer and you can handle all the problems that will come (because either way there's going to be a downside) then do what makes you feel more at peace.  I think that either way works, however the used car seems ideal for its cost compared to the new car.
