Answer 2

Buying a car brand new ensures that no problems will arrise due to anything the previous owner did and in theory will cost you less money in maintenace in the near future. It also comes with a warranty that will most likely be much much better than a used car that comes with little to no warranty. Almost every year cars come out with new features, so buying new you will probably get some sort of safety or convenience feature that you wouldn't used. The looks of the car are going to be better both inside and out.
But buying new the value does drop as soon as you drive off the lot. Obviously the price of the car will be more than a used one. Every little ding or scrape it gets will show more than if it already came with a few, hehe. And the cost to register it, along with taxes and other fees will be higher than used. If you do decide to go with brand new, a good idea is to go either just before or right after the new year models come out because dealerships will want to get rid of the remaining last year's models quickly and you may get a better deal. Another thing I like to do is buy 1-3 years old with very low miles and 1 owner. This narrows the chances that there have been any problems so far, and saves a lot of money in your wallet.... Good luck with whatever decide.

Tips for buying used vehicle.

1. Take along a friend you know, that has good experience with working vehicles so they can check it out for you.

2. If you don't have such a friend ask around, someone might have a friend who does.

3. If no one has any experience, you should talk to someone who owns a reputable garage and ask if you can bring the vehicle in for them to do a quick once over and then advise you whether the vehicle is a lemon or not.

4. Go to a local reputable car sales rep, one that you know will make you a good deal.

5. If you ask the universe to send you the best mode of transportation possible, stay open to new developments. And know that it will come to you.

6. Check to make sure you have all the knobs and visors before you purchase a car, as well as knowing the what needs be known part of any vehicle you buy.

Basically, do not buy a vehicle blind.

Buying new you are first to get to enjoy it,Warranties some are pretty good which years of driving worry free.New car smell.You break it in drive it properly follow all scheduled maintenance.and get many years of satisfaction.But their is the dreaded monthly payment and depending on your credit and how you put down the payments could be 4to5 years. Used car is a gamble limited warranty unless it is not to old then you can still pickup what is left.Lower payments sometimes,but often loan companys will only finance for a few years.after limited warranty is gone usally after 30 days then all repairs come out of your pocket,you reall never know how well the previous owner took care of it.If your lucky you can sometimes get a darn good,reliable used car,but still the are used and a lot of things wear out due to normal ware and tare,breaks exhualt etc.and often before you are ready to have them replaced

Answer 5

New pros: New condition, factory warranty, latest styling/conveniences/safety features (if you choose to get them)
New cons: High price, heavy depreciation -- new cars are the most expensive kind of transportation you can get.

Used pros: Cheaper
Used cons: May no longer have a warranty, probably won't know the maintenance history or how well previous owners have treated it, may be expensive to repair out of warranty

Answer 6

If you can afford a new car, go for it. They'll have warranties included whereas some used don't, or they are almost expired. If you're low on cash, a used car may be best. Go to several lots before you buy, write down what you like and compare them before reaching a decision. Good luck!

Answer 7

The big pro to used is all the money you save. There is no con to a new car. They all suck and cost way to much.

Answer 8

A new car will lose 60% of its value in the first 4 years. Buy used and let someone else take the pounding on their wallet.

But be "SURE" to get a carfax report on it at www.carfax.com before you close any deal. This will show up any problems or salvage titles before yo end up with them.
