subject: Should You Buy New or Used Hyundai Cars? [print this page] Your first decision when buying from our Texas Hyundai dealership is whether you want to buy a new or used Hyundai. Your choice will depend on how much money you can afford and want to spend on a car, how you feel about warranty coverage, or car maintenance. Here are things to consider when choosing whether to buy new or used Hyundais:
Considerations for Buying a New Hyundai:
Car financing on new cars is almost always better than financing offered on used cars. If you aren't paying cash for your car, you'll probably find you'll get a better rate on a car loan.
With a new Hyundai, you won't have to worry about expensive maintenance costs for a long time. New Hyundai cars are covered under warranty, so if there are any mechanical failures it would be covered for several years after purchase. The most you would have to worry about for a new car is an oil change and oil filter change every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (depending on your car).
Considerations for Buying a Used Hyundai
If you still don't like the idea that your new car will lose a lot of it's value the second you pull out of the dealership, or you want to buy a car within a specific budget, buying a used Hyundai will give you more car for less money.
The sticker price on a used Hyundai will always be lower than new cars, but keep in mind the potential for more costly repairs and maintenance is higher the older the car is. There is always a possibility that you'll pay more over the long term for a used car than you do for a new car.
