If you are thinking of buying a new car you will face the choice of whether to buy a new car or a second hand one. At first thought this might seem an easy choice due to the cost of new cars but in reality it is not that simple. If you have a fixed budget it might be tempting to go down to the second hand BMW car sales lot to see how far your money will stretch, but it is also worth seeing what new cars are also within your price range, as many of the lower cost manufacturers offer very reasonable entry level cars. What are the advantages and disadvantages of new against used? A new car will be spotlessly clean and will be under guarantee for a fixed period. As it is new you can reasonably expect it to be free from any problems. However, a used car also has its plus points. Although used, many of the top quality manufacturers such as BMW build their cars to last for years, and for the same price as a basic new car from another manufacturer you can often get a quality used car with much more sophisticated features. It is really a matter of personal preference and budget but it is worth looking at both sides of the coin when buying a car.
