5 reasons to buy a used car

Saving money, easily upgrading to a higher segment or reducing stress when driving are reasons why customers should choose used cars.

The demand for buying cars is increasing, but the price of new cars is also increasing due to many factors, from taxes, fees to traffic restrictions. The opportunity to buy a new car is more severe, so used cars become the top priority for many people, especially first-time car buyers. Below are 5 reasons why used cars are the right choice, compiled by Cardekho.

1. Cost savings

Compared to new cars, customers only have to pay about 70-80% of the car price to own a used car that is not too old, about 3-4 years old. Besides, the fees for used cars are also less than for new cars.With each year of use, the remaining value of the car will decrease due to depreciation, so the total amount of insurance payable will also decrease according to the value of the car.

2. Upgrade to higher segment

For the same amount of money, customers can choose a used car in a higher segment than a new car in a lower segment. For example, 600 million can buy a new Toyota Vios, but the same amount of money can buy a used Mazda3 from 2011-2012. A higher segment means more spacious interior, more convenient and safe technology, and a superior engine.

3. Less stress while driving

With a new car, even a small scratch when driving in a traffic jam can make the owner feel uncomfortable. The psychology of new car users is to try to keep the car as careful as possible, which can lead to stress when driving on the road or parking in unfamiliar places. But with an old car, the psychology will be different, you can comfortably rush into traffic jams, park in unfamiliar places without worrying.

4. Certificate of origin

With the growing used car market, customers will be more assured about the quality of the car. Outside garages provide used car quality inspection services, or car manufacturers themselves also open this service, because the system checks all the small details. In particular, customers can choose cars that have a used car certificate to ensure the quality provided by the manufacturer.

5. Depreciates slower than new cars

The gap between a new car and a used car causes the car to lose value quickly, but the gap between a 3-4 year old car and a 5-6 year old car is much slower. Thanks to that, the used car buyer will keep the investment in buying the car without losing too much like a new car if they want to resell it.
