Why Buy Used?

The American auto industry would have you believe that buying a used vehicle is a real gamble. It is true that used vehicles do have higher rates of maintenance issues and, almost by definition, they will have more wear and tear on their parts, frames and interiors.

However, this obscures the fact that there have been huge advances made in vehicle and car part manufacturing. Modern cars and trucks are made to incredibly tight tolerances. And many vehicles use systems that have been proven in the real world and tweaked to perfection over decades. Today's used vehicles entail far less risk of serious mechanical failures or even the need to replace non-wearable parts than cars produced just a few decades ago. When you buy used today, you are often getting a car or truck that is very nearly in factory condition.

But while the risks of buying used have largely disappeared, there are still huge advantages to getting a used car. The main reason that someone might consider going with a used vehicle is the enormous bump in value that you get for your money. And used cars in the $10,000 to $15,000 range are often right in the sweet spot for getting the most out of your money.

New cars lose approximately half of their value in the first three years after being sold. In the case of a $30,000 car, this means the owner will take a nearly guaranteed $15,000 loss. But when someone buys that same three-year-old car for $15,000, they will only experience around a $3,500 loss over the course of their first three years of ownership. That is because, after its initial three-year depreciation period, the vehicle will then take around six years to lose another half of its value.

On top of this, the person buying the three-year-old car will have monthly payments that are just half of what they would be had they bought the car new. That's money that can be used for more important things, including investing. And through all of this, the person buying the three-year-old car will be getting virtually all of the utility and reliability that they would have gotten through buying the car new. This is especially true when buying a used car through the Nissan Certified Pre-owned program, which guarantees its vehicles are in nearly factory-new condition.

Between the enormous cost savings, sharply reduced depreciation, and nearly equal long-term reliability of buying a used car, it's easy to see why so many car buyers are going this route.
