Comparison Shopping

Can’t decide whether to buy a new or used car?

New Car Pros

  • Wear & tear:
    You’re the first driver, so the car is untouched.
  • Warranty:
    New cars come with bumper-to-bumper warranties.
  • Technology:
    You can link to your phone and turn on your car with an app.
  • Gas mileage:
    Improvements mean you could pay less to drive.
  • Choices:
    You choose the color, model, and features.
  • Safety:
    Back-up cameras, auto braking, crash alerts, and more make driving safer.

New Car Cons

  • Costs:
    The sticker price is higher than used, which means higher taxes, too.
  • Depreciation:
    Your car is worth less as soon as you drive off the lot.
  • Untried design or technology:
    There may be bugs in the new systems.

Used Car Pros

  • Bigger & better:
    The price is less than new, so you could afford more car.
  • Insurance:
    You’ll pay less insurance than a new car.
  • Strong Value:
    Your car doesn’t depreciate right away like a new car.

Used Car Cons

  • Maintenance:
    More use on the car may mean more problems.
  • Warranty:
    Used cars have limited or no warranties.
  • History:
    It’s hard to get complete history on a used car.
  • Limitations:
    You can’t always get your choice of color, model, and features.
