New or used?

There are benefits to buying new and there are benefits to buying used, but it can be hard to weigh up the options. We’ve done the hard work for you, and here they are for you to look over.

Buying new is a good option if you have more money to spend or you are looking for better finance rates. This isn’t always the case but it can be something to consider, with lower interest rates being attached to new cars. Buying a new car is also a good choice if you are looking for plenty of options. With a new car, you can build it from the wheels up, choosing everything from interior to infotainment, so you get a car that is completely custom to you.

Buying used also has plenty of benefits. There are plenty of cars out there that are classed as used when they are actually ’nearly new’, under three years old and without a lot of miles on the clock. However, a used car can also hold plenty of positives. For a start, the depreciation on the vehicle will have already had its most dramatic impact on the price of the car, so you don’t have that to worry about as much. As a result of this, if you opt for finance, you could actually end up with a better deal. Another benefit is that you can often find higher spec or limited edition cars at a cost that won’t break the bank, which is always good news.

Whether you opt for new or used will largely depend on your circumstances and budget, plus what you are looking for.
