LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ship a Car Direct has announced the release of their newest article: Should You Buy Your Car New or Used? The guide examines the different factors that a person should consider before buying a vehicle as well as how to determine the right purchase for your unique situation.
People compare buying a vehicle to buying a house, but Ship a Car Direct cautions buyers not to view a car purchase as an investment. Vehicles depreciate in value and require upkeep, which make them a sunk cost. It's why the price on the front end has to make sense to make the purchase worth it.
One of the more obvious reasons for buying used is the upfront savings. "The average American owns thirteen cars throughout their lifetime," Ship a Car Direct says in the article. "Buying used cars each time could save an average total of $130,000 compared to buying new." While used vehicles sometimes have extra costs associated with them, those savings go a long way in protecting the buyer's finances.
A new vehicle, however, will generally save money on fuel efficiency and provide safety and convenience features that are hard to ignore. On top of that, warranty protection helps to provide a safety net in case something happens to the vehicle.
Ship a Car Direct suggests working with a car finance calculator to begin figuring out what your monthly payment would look like. With that information, choosing the right option for your personal situation becomes easier.
