Used Car Buying: Three Benefits

shutterstock_329532386

There are so many great reasons to buy a used car. Knowing the pros and cons before you make your big purchase is important, so you know you’re making the right decision. If you’re looking to buy a used car, below are three benefits that could help you make your decision.

 

  1. Price

 

Everyone knows that used cars will be less expensive than new cars. But to what extent? You can find the car or truck of your dreams available in a later model at a price you can afford. The price of a used car can be almost cut in half compared to a new car price. For example, if you have a luxury SUV on your wishlist, it probably would cost two times as much new as it would used. Your used car won’t depreciate as fast so, ultimately, you are getting the best deal.

 

  1. Sales Tax

 

No one warns you about sales tax. New car sales tax can add up to thousands of dollars. Used cars, however, can be significantly less or even non-existent. Some states don’t require sales tax on used vehicle sales. Doing your research on your state’s tax laws could save you thousands before your next car purchase.

 

  1. Registration Fees

 

We all have to register our vehicles. Registration fees are based on the car’s value and the year it was made. In certain states, registration fees rapidly decrease over the first few years of ownership. When registering a used car, the fees have already decreased since the car is usually a few years old. You can end up saving lots of money on these fees when your car isn’t brand new.

 

All of these are great benefits of owning a used car. At New Jersey State Auto Auction, we want you to find the best vehicle for you! Come visit us to see all of our cars and learn more about our options. For more information, visit our website!

Should you Get a Used Petrol or Diesel Car

If you do not plan to use your car for a lot of traveling, then it is recommended that you buy a used petrol car. If you plan to use your car frequently, if you think that you will drive over 10,000 miles a year, then go for a used diesel car. Do not go by the mpg statistics when buying a used car. The mpg statistics usually apply for new cars, as it is. When it comes to used cars, the fuel efficiency will be lower than the company specified ones for new ones. Used cars do not come cheap, however, the best thing about them is that they do not come with the biggest motoring cost, depreciation. Used diesel cars usually have a higher repair cost than that of a used petrol car. If the filters or the turbos or the dual-mass flywheel clutches or the injectors have to be repaired or replaced, it will cost you more if you have a diesel car.

If you are cost-conscious, and you do not plan to drive around a lot, then go for a used petrol car. Used petrol cars are comparatively cheaper to buy than used diesel cars. Diesel engines have come a long way in terms of refinement, and maintenance costs, however, there is still no comparison with that of a petrol engine. A diesel engine will have an increased torque level at a lower speed. This means active gearing. The clutch will be hard, and will wear faster. Another benefit of choosing a petrol car is that you can equip the car with an LPG or a CNG kit.
