Cars: The Used And The New Are Beautiful
Whether buying used or new cars, both options have advantages
and disadvantages that the car buyer alone would be the best
person to be knowledgeable about as he or she would know what
would work well as according to his/her needs, wants,
preference, budget and whim.
The following are basic factors to consider in buying a used or
a new car:
The price.
Those on a stringent budget would find used cars a good deal.
Though there are a handful of new cars that sell for less than
ten thousand dollars, the ones that cost less usually have only
a few amenities, with some having none of the following:
air-conditioning, stereo. Sometimes the cars come with only two
doors or one of the power windows is broken, if there are power
windows at all. On the other hand, the availability of three to
four-year old used cars loaded with more than the bare-boned
features of a basic used car - such as a CD player, air
conditioning, airbags - gives the used car buyer a great deal.
But still, the pricey new cars are costly because of the updated
safety features they carry: de-powered airbags as well as
"smart" front and side protection airbags. New vehicles also
carry whimsical features such as: beverage holders that keep
drinks cool or hot.
The choice depends on you, your priorities and your purchasing
power.
The warranty.
New vehicles usually are under warranty for a minimum of three
years to a maximum of ten. Hyundai and Kia provide ten year
warranty for their vehicles. DaimlerChrysler offers a seven year
warranty for their Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep models. So does
Isuzu.
Some eligible late-model used cars could complete their original
warranty and could just as well be extended if they are
protected by the vehicle certification program. If not, used car
owners could shell out a few hundred to be able to extend their
service warranty or contract.
The mileage.
Newly-bought used cars come with mileage already spent. New
vehicles basically do not need maintenance for the first
thousands of miles, and if they do, car manufacturers cover the
oil change and their tune-up as well as other fundamental
maintenance services.
Specially made cars
Used car buyers usually have to content themselves with as-is
vehicles whose color may not be that perfect shade of red, green
or blue. Buyers of new cars however, have the option of a varied
range of colors or car features that used cars have not. Car
dealers usually cater to the tastes and impulse of a car buyer
and usually would even satisfy a customer by specially-ordering
a vehicle.
