8 reasons buying a used car may be a better choice than new

1. Depreciation. A new vehicle loses a large part of its value in the first two or three years. Buy used and someone else has paid for that drop.
2. More vehicle for your money. The budget for a new entry model can buy a higher model that is a few years old.
3. Checked options. Dealers and Auto Bazar sell inspected vehicles with verified papers.
4. Information. Service records, insurance claims and owner reviews tell you how a model holds up.
5. Lower insurance. Premiums are based on the vehicle's current value, so they are lower for a used vehicle.
6. Lower registration cost. You pay a transfer fee, not the full road tax and registration of a new vehicle.
7. Vehicles last longer now. Modern engines and bodies run well past 1 lakh kilometres with normal care.
8. History checks reduce risk. RC, insurance and challan details can be checked online with the registration number.
