Your decision of whether to buy a new car or a used car mostly boils down to the question of budget.
While there are a number of advantages buying a new car, there are equally as many for buying a
pre-owned car from a reputable dealer or original owner.
The fact that both the new and used car markets are under enormous pressure as a result of the
recession worldwide is actually good news for the consumer. With increasing repossessions and less
buying power, there is literally a flood of vehicular stock on factory and dealership floors, leading to
more astute pricing by the industry and a burgeoning array of choice for the prospective buyer.
.Advantages to buying new and used cars
* A new car will generally demand less maintenance as the average warranty period of at least three
years assures the buyer of hassle-free driving for quite some time to come. Many manufacturers also
offer free roadside assistance while the car is under warranty.
* The leading finance houses are likely to offer better rates when buying new, as the mint condition
product will offer better collateral and is less likely to break down.
* Buying a new car or a pre-owned car from a car dealership will offer peace of mind as the full
might of the law is behind the consumer. Buying a used car at auction or from a private source can
be dodgy, as there is very little legal recourse should the vehicle turn out to be a lemon
* Purchasing pristine will mean total freedom of choice as far as the make, model, color trim and
accessories are concerned.
Starting your search for used vehicles online would be a great way for you to save money and time
rather than hopping from dealership to another dealership without any positive results. More often
than not, we are satisfied going to our neighborhood dealership and purchase our cars there without
exploring all possibilities. Most of us don't even realize that we may have paid more than when we
take time to shop and search.
Buying a used car represents a significant investment but with a little preparation and a well defined
plan, even a first time buyer can shop with confidence. Here are some tips to ensure a successful
used car buying experience.
Know Where to Look. Whether you buy from a dealer or an individual seller, the Internet has made
finding used cars that meet your requirement easier than ever before. Most dealerships have
websites listing available used cars that include photos, specifications and prices. National chains
such as CarMax maintain large inventories that are easily search by make, model, price, etc.
Individual sellers often list their vehicles online at websites such as Craigslist.org, ebaymotors.com
or autotrader.com. You may find the car of your dreams in the local grocery store parking lot with a
"For Sale" sign taped to the back window but you can expand your reach with just a few clicks of
your computer mouse.
Don't Rush Your Decision. A used car purchase is a major financial decision. Don't let a salesman
rush you with claims that "this car won't last long" or "you're not going to find a better deal than
this". People who buy on impulse often later regret their decision. Comparison shop. If a deal seems

2. too good to be true, there's probably a reason. Sometimes even the announcement that you're going
to have a professional car inspection conducted will make the seller more forthcoming about a used
car's history. By taking your time and knowing what's available at what price in your area, you will
