The Advantages of Buying New Cars - Autos - Cars

<p>If you're looking to buy a car then you've no doubt wondered whether to buy it brand new or used. Both have benefits and drawbacks, and it really comes down to the individual's circumstances, needs, and wants, as to whether they should purchase a new car or a second hand one.</p>

<p>Looking at new cars specifically, there are many benefits for the consumer. Whether it's the choice, the payment options, maintenance issues, or a whole host of other considerations, you may find that buying new is far more straightforward and simple than buying used. With this in mind, the following is a list of the advantages of buying new cars: </p>

<p>Better Choice</p>

<p>When you're looking to buy a car, you are bound by your budget and your needs. For example, let's say you have around five thousand Australian dollars to spend on a new vehicle, and you only want a small car to get to and from work. When considering this, if you were to buy a used car, you could end up looking for a while, based on your budget and needs. However, looking at dealerships, you get a wider choice of makes and models to choose from because you are not bound to just buying one that is used. If you like, it takes away the luck element of finding one you want, as you know a dealership will have a wider choice of cars from which you can choose. </p>

<p>Zeitgeist </p>

<p>This refers to buying a car that is en trend - and buying one brand new is the only way you'll get the car that everyone is talking about. This could be a nice little Coupe or Roadster, or a larger vehicle such as a Sedan, SUV, or even a Ute. Whatever the type of car, if it's widely being talked about as the latest must-have vehicle, then in reality, the only way you'll be able to get it, is by purchasing it brand new. Resale Value</p>

<p>New cars will have a larger resale value than used ones. One of the disadvantages of new cars is that they lose considerable value once driven off the forecourt. It is thought that a new car will lose 30% of its value within the first two years. On the other hand, it will always have a better resale value than a used car, especially if it's a popular model and make of that time. These cars will always be in demand, and if you've looked after your motor well, keeping it in good condition with a low mileage, then you'll be sure to find a buyer for the right price should you decide to sell. </p>

<p>More Payment Options</p>

<p>One of the major sticking points for anyone looking to buy a car is funding. If you have the money in cash, then this is the preferred option. However, in many instances, when buying a used car, you may only find that you can pay in full, in cash, or set up a finance deal, which isn't too favourable to the consumer. When buying a new car, you have much more leeway in terms of finance. If you can't broker a deal with the dealership, then another option could be to take out a loan from the bank. This may have a smaller rate of interest, and could help you to find and buy that dream car you've always wanted. </p>

<p>Less Chance of a Breakdown</p>

<p>One of the major benefits of buying new is the knowledge that the car has no breakdown history and that all the parts are completely new and functioning well. With used cars, parts may be worn, corroded, or even faulty - this isn't always the case, but the risk is certainly heightened. Therefore, the likelihood of a breakdown with a used car is far greater than with a new car. </p>
