Car Buyers Guide: New Cars Or Used Cars - Which Are Better?

The time will inevitably arrive when you have to buy a car, and now there’s that big decision of whether to buy a new car or a used car. 

Read on to understand the main advantages of each option to help you decide if you should buy new or used cars for sale in Wellington.

New Cars

While new cars may come with a higher price tag, they also come with many advantages, including the following:

  • Latest technology - New cars will be equipped with the latest innovations in car design, including safety and fuel efficiency options.

  • Warranties and guarantees - Your purchase will be covered by the full warranties and guarantees offered by that manufacturer for your choice of car.

  • Service plans - New car purchases regularly include a service plan for a limited period, meaning you will be assured of top repairs and maintenance on the vehicle for this time.

  • Roadside assistance - Some manufacturers offer limited-period roadside assistance when purchasing a new vehicle.

  • Easier to obtain financing - In-house financing staff are often on hand in new car dealerships, and financing deals are generally more accessible when buying a new car.

Choosing Used Cars For Sale In Wellington

  • Lower price - New cars suffer a great deal of depreciation when they leave the showroom. You can benefit by securing a good deal on a used car price.

  • Warranties and service plans are available - If the warranties, guarantees and service plans have expired, you can discuss purchasing extended warranty or service plans with your car dealer.

  • Lower insurance fee - Used cars attract cheaper insurance rates.

  • What you see is what you get - There are no additional fees for metallic paint, roof racks, tow hitches or other accessories that were not included in the displayed price, as is the case with new cars.
