What are the disadvantages of buying a used car?
Some of the disadvantages of buying a used car is just some of the mystery. You’re not really sure if the person has maintained the vehicle over the time that they’ve owned it to the level that you would hope would be satisfactory, so there is some worry there. If the used vehicle’s getting towards 5 years old, you might be meeting the end of the vehicle’s new car warranty, so some of the little things that might happen after you take the keys to the car are now going to be out of factory warranty, so that’s going to be a price burden that you’ll have to bear. While you’re saving a lot of money and you’re able to maybe buy a vehicle at a price you couldn’t afford when it was new, you are looking at possibly buying a vehicle that is going to be redesigned. That used vehicle, while it’s new to you, is going to look old to the marketplace, possibly sooner than it would as if you’d bought the new one that still had 4 or 5 years of being the new look on the street. You always run that risk.
