Even though prices have dropped slightly, buying a car is still a huge undertaking not just in terms of purchasing the car itself but also in the cost of keeping it on the road year after year. But, a car fulfils so many functions these days. It not only offers a safe and secure means of personal transport but it also represents an extension of your personality, whether that’s intentional or not.
However, you don’t necessarily need to buy a brand new car to feel secure, or have that status symbol you’ve always wanted. Buying a used car can still be a special event and a used car often has many advantages over buying a new car anyway. And don’t forget that some select second hand cars are even more desirable than a new one, particularly the old classic models like Jaguars and Mercedes cars which can command a high price tag to collectors in the industry.
Most second hand cars are cheaper than their newer versions (unless they’ve been modified in some way) and that reduced cost often gives the buyer a lot more choice to opt for a slightly higher spec model of car than if they were buying new. So, there are definitely some benefits to buying a used car if you are still having doubts or feel you are settling for second best.
A hidden cost issue of a brand new car purchase is depreciation. A new car will depreciate around 20% as soon as it is driven away from the garage. There are some exceptions to this of course and each make of car should be researched but it’s a pretty good rule of thumb.
There is an extensive range of cars which can be chosen from when being used. The second hand car market is not limited to waiting times or hidden extras to add to the car. When you buy a used car you buy what you can see. It will will come with a history and if you are buying from a reputable source you will have access to that history. This will be apparent in the form of a log book, repair history, or tell tale signs on the inside or the outside of the car.
