There are lots of things to consider before purchasing a vehicle. But before you invest in a vehicle, one consideration you shouldn’t ignore is whether or not you want a new vehicle or a used one. Here are 4 things you need to consider to help you decide between a new and used car.
1. Depreciation Costs
Depreciation quantifies the loss in value of an item over time. Driving the vehicle off the lot will result in immediate depreciation of 20%. According to Kelly Blue Book most new vehicles depreciate as much as 30% in the first year. A $30,000 car might lose $6,000 the minute you drive away from the dealership, and as much as $9,000 after one year. If someone asked you to throw away $9,000 you’d say they were crazy, but people do it all the time when buying a new car. Buying a used car saves you that high cost of depreciation. Another answer to this depreciation conundrum comes in the question: How long are you planning on owning it?
