Should You Buy New or Used Nissan Cars?

[ad_1]

The first choice you have when buying from our Maryland Nissan dealership is whether you plan to get a new Nissan or a used Nissan. Your decision will be based on how much money you plan to spend on your car and how you feel about paying for car maintenance expenses or warranty coverage. Here are considerations for choosing between a new or used Nissan:

Things to Consider When Buying a New Nissan:

If you will be financing the price of a car rather than paying cash for the purchase, you should know that new car financing is almost always better than car loans for used cars. It’s not unusual for a new car to offer 0% interest financing, but you would have a hard time finding the same deal for financing a used car.

Buying a new Nissan means you aren’t going to be faced with any expensive car maintenance expenses any time soon. Nissans are covered under a warranty so any mechanical failures would be covered for several years after you buy the car. Your biggest car maintenance expense is minor, with an oil and filter change every few thousand miles.

Things to Consider When Buying a Used Nissan:

Many people don’t like knowing that when they buy a new car, it loses a lot of it’s value as soon as you drive away from the dealership. Some people buy used Nissans because they need to stay within a specific car buying budget and a used Nissan gives you more car for your dollar.

While the purchase price on a used Nissan will always be less than buying a new one, keep in mind the potential for more costly car maintenance and repairs will always be higher with older cars compared to newer cars. Older cars have shorter warranty periods than a new car, too. Depending on how much maintenance a car ends up needing, you could actually spend more on a used car long term over the cost of buying a new car, especially if you can’t do the repair and maintenance work yourself.
