I am writing a topic regarding a comparative shopping on buying new/used cars. , I need info and opinions on this topic. what do you think of the benefits and drawbacks of either buying new or used cars. Why some people like buying a used car eventhough they can afford a new one? Why some people choose private seller rather than dealer. I am also need some help with the car CCA so I can explain how the depriciation affects people buying a car. Any electronic source would be helpful!! Thanks!

new car benefits: ownership and maintenance all controlled by your own habits, enjoy driving and breaking it in yourself, pride of the new car
Used car benefits: depreciation is already absorbed, less expensive, same transportation need met.
People buy from a dealer because they realize their trade in will always be accepted and ease of buying and paperwork required.
People buy off a private individual because its a unique car theyre in the market for or theyre afraid of dealerships with all the hassles some knothead dealerships give them when shopping.
Primarily people buy used over new because they realize a car isnt an ego trip, just a mode of getting from point a to b.
Personally I like to lease cars for my wife...she likes something new every few years and weve had payments for the 19 yrs weve been married so shes always making a payment because she likes to drive something different every few years.

the biggest depreciation occurs in the first two years. You can get a 2 yr. old car with low mileage for a much better value than buying new. check the kelly bluebook for which cars hold their value better.
