If you’re looking for a car, choosing between new and pre-owned models is difficult. Buying new brings numerous gains, but many drivers have trouble weighing their options. While some advantages are more apparent than others, all these benefits are great reasons to buy a new car.
The Freedom to Choose
While used car lots are often full, options are typically limited to lease returns and trades. Buying new, on the other hand, allows drivers to choose the make, model, and options they want. Even if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, an auto dealership can probably find it. Freedom of choice is one of the biggest reasons to buy a new car, and you’ll find that freedom here.
Durability and Longevity
Although used cars have advantages, buying new is a better choice for durability and longevity. With a new car, you’ll start fresh—which means you’re not inheriting someone else’s problems. Generally, new cars last longer than used ones.
Some drivers try to sidestep the issue by buying late-model, low-mileage used vehicles. It’s a great theory, but it doesn’t always work out. Many of these ‘like new’ cars and trucks have rental and lease histories—and we all know that rented and leased cars don’t receive the best treatment. By choosing a new car, you’ll stay on the road longer.
Greater Efficiency
As cars evolve, so do their features. One of the most significant upgrades is fuel efficiency, which helps the environment and your finances. If efficiency is a priority, it’s best to buy a new vehicle. EVs (electric vehicles) and hybrids are widely available, and their efficiency will help you spend more time behind the wheel and less time at the pump.
Safety Features
Along with increased efficiency, cars are becoming safer as manufacturers learn how to protect drivers and their families. Beyond antilock brakes and other standard features, new cars often have upgrades like cruise control and side curtain airbags.
If you’ve previously driven a used car, you’ll be surprised at recent developments in automotive safety. New cars have great safety features like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and teen user mode, which make driving safer than it’s ever been.
Easy Maintenance
New cars typically come with maintenance plans, so you won’t have to worry about paying for oil changes, tire rotations, fluid flushes, and repairs. During the warranty period, the dealership will take care of basic maintenance and keep your car running smoothly. New cars come with powertrain and limited warranties, which make driving easy and stress-free.
Technology
Like everything around us, cars are becoming more technologically advanced. Upgraded sound systems, climate controls, and safety features are just a few things that make driving a new car easy, safe, and fun.
Just a few years ago, Bluetooth was a new, must-have feature—and now, it’s old news. Today’s new cars come with smartphone integration through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, built-in navigation systems, WiFi hotspots, and wireless device charging, among other features. If you want the latest and greatest technology, it’s hard to beat a new car.
Financing
While new car purchases may require bigger loans, they come at fairer rates than you’ll find for used cars. Bad deals are common in used car financing, and many of them are due to lenders’ high risk.
Financing a new car is less risky for lenders and buyers. New cars are likely to remain on the road until they’re paid off; the same can’t be said for used cars. It’s no fun to keep making payments on a car you can’t even drive! By focusing on the new car market, you’ll end up with a loan and a vehicle you can count on.
Better Value
While it seems obvious, the facts are worth repeating. New cars are worth more than used ones, and that’s why new car loans come with more favorable terms. Not only will you get a loan at a lower rate if you buy a new car, but you’ll also make more money when it’s time to sell. Owning a new car is reassuring; there are no worries about previous modifications and mechanical issues. Along with a higher resale value, you’ll get peace of mind—and it’s hard to put a price on that.
Ease and Convenience
Finding the right used car can be challenging, as you’re limited to vehicles others have had before. Used car websites make it a little easier, but buyers must still do their due diligence and ensure they’re getting what they pay for.
New car buyers can focus on features and design, without worrying about structural integrity, previous accidents, and mechanical issues. When buying a new car, you’ll find dozens of options in one place, along with friendly and knowledgeable salespeople who will help you find exactly what you want.
