Why buy a used car?
Late-model used cars are often better values than new cars. They cost less to buy and insure, and they have already taken
their biggest depreciation hit, which typically occurs in the first three years. By buying used, you can also often get a
more luxurious or better-equipped vehicle that would be too expensive to buy new. With cars generally holding up better, many
used cars, when properly maintained, should last 200,000 miles. What you might give up by not buying new is a full warranty
lasting three or more years, perhaps some of the latest features or safety systems, and, of course, that new-car smell.
