Buying a New vs. Used Car

Many LaGrange drivers like the idea of buying a brand new car with all of the latest bells and whistles. Although new cars are generally more pricey, there are many benefits to buying a new car.

• Shopping is simpler: When shopping for a new car, it is assumed that the car is in near-perfect condition. Because of this, you do not have to spend the time evaluating the car for quality and reliability like you would when you shop for a used car.
• There are more financing options available: Vehicle manufacturers want to entice drivers to purchase a new car, so many offer rebates and low-interest rates.
• Peace of mind: New cars are covered by warranty, so if anything happens to go wrong, you don’t have to worry about excessive out-of-pocket expenses.

Advantages of Buying a Used Car

While there are several advantages to buying a new car, there are also a number of great reasons to put a used car at the top of your list. One of the main disadvantages of a new car is cost, and with a used car, you can save quite a bit on the sticker price. Other benefits include:

• Less worry about depreciation: Another one of the biggest disadvantages of buying a new car is the fact that they depreciate the second you drive off of the lot. You don’t have to worry about that steep depreciation with a used car.
• Lower insurance costs: If a vehicle is worth less, it is less costly to insure it.
• Registry renewals are cheaper: Every year, the cost of registering a used car decreases.
• Certified pre-owned models: A certified pre-owned vehicle is a perfect balance between a new and used car. You get a vehicle in excellent condition for a used car price. What’s more? You can feel confident on the Naperville roads thanks to the Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Warranty.
