Why should you buy a used car instead of a brand new one

by Joshua Smith Owner
Used cars are often the best option when it comes to making a big purchase. Some are actually in great shape and have barely been used, but just because they are being sold outside of an agency, they are priced lower. When buying your next car, you may want to consider what is the best option for your purchase, whether you want to save money or just maybe buy a better brand at a lower cost; buying a used car can be the best option for you. Here are a couple of reasons why a used car can be more appealing than a newer one.

1. Saving money

It is the obvious option; however, it is true. Buying a used car doesn't necessarily mean that it is going to be overused and defective. On the contrary, often people sell cars as good as new with barely any mileage in them, but at a lower price because they are not exactly brand new. The difference in price from a newer one to the one that is slightly used is very different, and you might be able to save a lot in this purchase. Plus, you should take into consideration that when you buy a used car and take it out of the agency it becomes a new car as well and it loses its original value. Therefore, if you try to resell it after a while to buy yourself a newer car, you will lose money on that sell given that no one will pay the original price of the car because it has been slightly used.


2. Buying cheaper instead of leasing

Nowadays, people prefer to lease cars instead of buying them, for the same reason that they know that they will eventually want to upgrade to a newer model. Often people don't realise that for the same period of time and the same amount that they lease a car for, they could afford to buy a used model. When you lease a car, you can be sure that you will lose that money and it will in some way go to waste. On the other hand, if you buy a used car and want to upgrade it for a newer model in the future, you are able to sell that one, and use the amount for your next purchase. For instance, if you are the type of person who will lease an expensive brand, you might want to look into buying that same used model in a great condition. Let's say if you were looking for a used Mercedes for sale; you don't have to go from dealership to dealership or looking for ads, you can easily search it online in pages like sandown-group.co.uk which handles every type of cars from newer models to used ones in great quality.

3. You could drive a “better car”

Often you can find a better price for a used but more luxurious car than a regular one but in new condition. When thinking of buying a new car, think that you might be able to find a better model for a lower price if you searched in the used category, and therefore, you might be able to upgrade for the same price or a lower price than the original car you were willing to buy.
