When you think of buying a car then your first priority is to buy a new car but for many reasons you can also think about buying a second hand car. If you ask your friends or colleagues then you will get mixed responses and it does not become clear if you should buy a used car or a new one. Here are some points of comparison that will make it easier for you to find the answer to the question of buy or not to buy a used car.
Price
The first important thing is the price. The second hand cars are priced far lower than the new cars and that is why you can buy them easily. The lending institutions provide finance for both types of cars but the burden on you is lower if you buy a second hand car.
Performance
If we talk about the performance then the performance of a new car is guaranteed by the company whereas if you are buying a car from used car sale or from someone who wants to sell used car then you need to find out if the car will perform well or not. You need to find out a good second hand car by spending time and shopping around a little. The condition of the second hand car must be assessed by a qualified mechanic before you buy it. Second hand cars have already been used by someone for some time and that is why it is good to find out the reason for selling the car by the owner.
Value of the car
When you buy a new car its resale value depreciates to almost 30% only in the first year. When you sell your new car, you do not get good return. The cars available through a used car sale are available at great prices and when you sell them further, you get the prices according to the used car values and the depreciation of the value of the car is less.
These are some of the parameters on which you can compare used cars values and the new cars. After an objective comparison you can decide if you want to buy a second hand car or not. You can find and read about more reasons for which people buy second hand cars and why do others do not do so. You can read on the websites that sell used car.
