There are many factors to consider when buying either a brand new or a used car.
What’s important to you?
Expected reliability is related to the vehicle performing well and not requiring repairs. Purchasers expect a new vehicle to be problem-free for 3 years. The reliability of a car also affects the resale value.
Other factors important to the vehicle purchase decision:
- Exterior styling
- Previous brand model and experience
- Reputation and reviews
- Ride and handling
- Price or payment
Safety
- Fuel economy/range
- Quality of workmanship
It is however noteworthy that not many people would purchase a very reliable vehicle, with a great reputation, reviews, ride and handling if they find the exterior unattractive!
When purchasing a new car, only you can decide what’s important. There’s a wealth of information available online to help you make an informed decision. Speaking with family members and friends about their experience is helpful as is understand the incentives offered by the dealer (such as low cost, long-term maintenance packages to help keep your vehicle running well).
