It is commonly thought that buying a new vehicle is the best thing to do. In many cases this is just not true. While buying a brand new vehicle can have some advantages, the top one being prestige, it might not be the best answer for you. You may want to consider a few thing before making your purchase.
The Best of Both Worlds
When you buy used, you can still get some of the benefits from buying new, if you look around. A used Subaru Forester in Mokena may offer you many of the same benefits as purchasing new. There are used vehicles out there that have low mileage, which can be an important aspect for you. The difference between 10,000 miles and 0 miles on modern vehicles is very small, and when you get a vehicle at 10,000 miles you do not need to worry about the break in period of the engine.
Used vehicles do come with some uncertainties, but most dealerships are willing to help alleviate those through warranties. Many used cars are still going to be so new that they have factory warranties that have yet to expire, and for older cars you may be able to purchase an extended warranty. In addition, used cars are going to be thoroughly inspected prior to being sold to ensure what you buy is going to perform.
Cost and Depreciation
A new car is going to be much more expensive than the same car shortly after purchase. It is estimated that a vehicles value drops by almost 20%, just in the first year. When you are looking to buy a used car, this is great news for you. That car, that is only one year old, is going to 1/5th the cost and on average only have 10,000 miles on it. You will also have between two and eight years left on the manufacturer’s warranty, making this a great financial decision.
