Things to consider when looking to buy a used car instead of a new one:

1. Cost: Used cars are generally less expensive than new cars, which can be a major factor for many buyers. Budget is often the first place to start when car shopping!
2. Depreciation: New cars depreciate rapidly in value, whereas used cars have already gone through the majority of their depreciation.
3. Variety: Used cars come in a wider variety of makes and models than new cars, as well as different trims, colors, and options.
4. Savings on Insurance and Taxes: Insurance and taxes are often lower for used cars than new cars as the replacement value is higher in new vehicles.
5. Car history: A used car will come with a CARFAX report, meaning potential buyers can check the history of the car before purchasing it. While the history of a new car will be unknown, you can assume that, being the first owner will omit and mechanical issues with the vehicle - but this isn't always the case! Sometimes, your brand new vehicle can be a lemon.
6. Less commitment: Buying a used car is less of a commitment than buying a new one, and the loan term is often shorter, making it easier to get out of in the long run.
7. A new car comes with a factory warranty, but a used vehicle typically will not. When buying used, we always recommend adding on an after-market warranty to keep you covered.
