Reasons Why Used Cars Are Preferred Over New Cars - Autos - Cars

<p>The Indian car market is crowded with a number of new and used cars. With such a wide option of car models in the country, it often becomes a challenging task to decide which car to buy. Even after the decision is fixed on a particular car model, car consumers keep pondering over which is better, new or used.</p>

<p>However, everyone would love to own a new car because of the brilliant appeal, newly adorned interiors, new engine and a new feel of driving. All these look good and appealing unless the thought of finance, insurance, and depreciation enters the mind. </p>

<p>Car finance, Car insurance, and depreciation are key factors that influence the decision of a car buyer. It is because of these that some car buyers prefer used cars over new cars. </p>

<p>Below is the detailed explanation of the key factors:</p>

<p>Car Insurance: When it comes to buying a new car, insurance is comparatively more as compared to used cars. When a person buys a new car, he or she has to cover the insurance of all spare parts, car components and he also tries to cover all the amounts he owes in the payment. In case of used cars, insurance is much low because the car owner has already shell out some amount on the insurance. When it comes to car parts, new car parts require less insurance as compared to pre-owned car parts and accessories.</p>

<p>Car Depreciation: Depreciation is defined as a decline in the capital value of an asset. In terms of car, the value of car reduces as soon as it moves out of any car showroom. Even though it is one day old, the car would be counted under the list of second hand cars. The car owner would never get the value he paid for buying the car when he sells the car. This is known as car depreciation. Within a couple of years, the car loses much of its value. Its similar to buying a mobile phone. Today if you buy a phone for Rs 20,000 and if you go to sell the same mobile three months later, you wont even get half the price. The same is the case with used cars, but obviously the depreciation would be much lesser than news cars.</p>

<p>Car Finance: Talking about the finance, obviously used cars are cheaper than new cars and hence require less finance. Taking a loan for new cars involves greater risk compared to that taken for used cars. This is because new cars require more finance and if any single month the car owner is not able to pay the monthly installment due to certain loss, the financer takes away the car. Atleast with used cars, the EMI would be low and chances are there that the owner is able to manage the finance to pay the installment.
