Have you been on the hunt for your next vehicle? If so, you may be wondering, "Should I buy a new or used car?" Here at David Westcott Buick GMC, we would love to help you figure out which new or used vehicle would match your Carrboro, Greensboro, or Mebane drive better. Here are just a few of the many benefits buying a new or used vehicle contains.

Benefits of Buying a New Vehicle

Buying a new vehicle comes with several benefits you won't want to miss out on. These include:

  • First Owner Benefits – Have you ever heard of that "new car smell"? This feeling represents not only the freshness that's found in a brand-new vehicle, but also the knowledge that no one has touched or misused your new vehicle before you. You are the first owner and operator of the vehicle and you can start your car's journey off right.
  • Financing Benefits – Buying a new vehicle provides you with a wide range of financial choices. Most new Buick and GMC vehicles can be purchased as either a lease or a loan, depending on your financial background. You may even be able to custom order your new Buick or GMC model, allowing you to create the perfect vehicle for your Mebane, Graham, NC, or Burlington, NC, area drive.
  • Tech Benefits – Because your car is brand-new, it contains the latest technological advancements available. These tech programs, devices, and driver assistance technologies are the most up-to-date versions that will push you around Burlington, NC, and beyond with ease.
  • Warranty Benefits – Rest at ease knowing that your new car is covered by several new car warranties and incentives. You may be able to find a pre-paid maintenance plan as well.

Buying a new vehicle does have its setbacks. Some of these include the higher overall price, the larger depreciation value, and more expensive registration, tax, and insurance costs.

Benefits of Buying a Used Vehicle

Buying a used vehicle also comes with several benefits. These could include:

  • Lower Used Car Price Benefits – One of the biggest benefits of buying used is the low used car price. Pre-owned vehicles tend to cost much less than a brand-new option. You'll most likely also spend less on insurance premiums, tax fees, and registration costs.
  • Less Depreciation Benefits – Thanks to the new car depreciation that's already been deducted, your used car won't suffer from a ton of depreciation in value when purchased. In fact, it should maintain its value for many years and miles.
  • Variety Benefits –Most dealerships sell up to a few new car brands, but always have a wide range of used vehicle options. This gives you more choices from which you can choose, including different makes, models, price ranges, trim levels, and more.

Buying a used vehicle does have its disadvantages as well. Some of these include no warranty coverage, maintenance responsibilities that fall in your lap, and fewer financing options.
