Buying a New vs Used Vehicle


When you’re exploring all that Miami, Doral, and Hialeah, FL, have to offer, a powerful and stylish car is the perfect ride. When you’re in the market for your next car, you’ll have quite a few decisions ahead of you.

Let’s tackle one of the big ones: Are you buying a new or used vehicle? Here at Braman Honda, we have a plethora of both types. To help you decide, our team has put together this guide to buying a new vs. used vehicle.


Advantages of Buying a New Car

There are several benefits that come with buying a new car. For starters, you’ll have multiple options when it comes to financing. You can either buy your car or lease it. Of course, this is just one of many advantages, such as:

  • You’re the first owner – With a new car, you can drive confidently, knowing your vehicle has no prior history or damage.
  • Newest technology – You’ll likely find the most recent model year when you shop new cars. That means they’ll have all the latest advanced technology and features.
  • Better fuel efficiency – Many new vehicles are designed to help save on gas. This is even more evident when you look at hybrid models.

Whether you want to take in that distinctive new car smell or want the convenience that comes with driving a new vehicle, there are many options we can show you at our dealership.


Benefits of Shopping Our Used Car Inventory

So, what are the benefits of buying a used car? Perhaps the most obvious benefit is price. Most used vehicles typically have a lower price point than their new counterparts. When you buy used, you may be able to cover more of the cost with your down payment, which could lead to a lower loan amount or monthly payment.

Here are a few other advantages:

  • Slower depreciation – Most cars lose value over time, but the fastest decline happens in the first few years. Because you’re buying a used vehicle, most of the deprecation has already happened.
  • More research available – When you purchase a model that’s been out for a number of years, there’s sure to be a lot of consumer reviews available. Reading through this information will give you a better idea of how your used vehicle will perform.
  • Find discontinued models – Perhaps your favorite model isn’t being made anymore. You might still be able to find it when you shop used.
