Finding the perfect vehicle for you and your needs is a long and complex process and your budget is one of the most important requirements. However, choosing between a new or used vehicle isn’t just about budget. Read on to find out the difference between the two to help you decide if you should buy a new or used car in Brisbane.

New cars

There are a number of advantages to buying a new car. The most obvious one is its lack of use. Unlike used cars, it hasn’t been driven, sat in, involved in any accidents or dangerous situations and has very few kilometres on it. They have all the new technology and that new car smell everyone loves. However, there are a few downsides to new cars as well. The biggest one is price. A new car is an expensive purchase and once you buy it, it will start depreciating immediately. While it doesn’t come with much use, it has been test driven and will have a certain amount of kilometres on the clock.

Used vehicles

Buying a used car is a great way to save money and still get a newer, better car than you previously owned. If you head into a dealership, the car will be in the best condition possible for its age and use. This means the dealership would have made it roadworthy and fixed any problems it may have had, as well as probably giving it a good clean and wax. Although it may be older than a new car and have more kilometres, as long as you stick to something within the past five to ten years, you should have no worries. Perhaps the only downside to a used car is any accidents it may have been involved in previously and the kilometres it may have added up.

So, why not get something just as good as a new car but for a cheaper price? If you are looking for used cars in Brisbane, consider Bartons Group’s company, Used Deals.
