Should I buy new or pre-owned

Should I (we) buy new or used? Many are faced with this question when deciding to go car shopping. Should you pay more and get what you want, or find one with low miles in excellent condition and save money. Here is some of the facts; NEW vehicle takes second guessing out of the game. You are the very first owner and the worry is out. You are getting the car you want, and the only downside to this transaction is the price you pay. You are well aware that price of the slightly used one would be less, and that is the fact. Now the question is how much "used" are you willing to consider? If you find the vehicle that somebody owned for 2 months and put 1600 miles on it, are you the person that is going to ask themselves:” Why would he/she trade it in “? “Is everything o.k. with the car?” there are numerous questions that one could ask him/herself, and they are very valid questions, and all of them raise a concern. This can also completely ruin the sweet feeling of buying a new vehicle, because as the concern / worry raises, satisfaction feeling is fading away. Before you know it you are asking yourself “do I really even need a new car?”. Once this feeling sets in and overcomes our thinking, buying satisfaction is out of the window, purchase of the new car is most likely not taking place, and you are frustrated because you wasted so much time & and effort on this, and of course it is all your sales persons fault . Sometimes in the process of looking what we want, we loose its primary objective. Buying a new/pre-owned vehicle should be satisfying process with exhilarating outcome. Yes, I can only imagine how many of you are making funny faces right now, but I know that you agree with the statement “buying a car should be fun”. However, there is preparations that need to take place before going to a dealership and being exposed to so many choices, deals and confusion. Here are some questions that one should ask themselves before visiting a dealership; 1. What do I want in a vehicle, what are the “must haves” 2. What are the things that I certainly don't want, even if the deal, feature, price is “super-duper-awesome” 3. What is really my price/payment budget, and what is my ceiling? This is taking into consideration that you have already decided is this a car, SUV or a truck. Then breaking it down even further; sedan, coupe, cabriolet, Full size/mid size SUV.......etc. Spending more time at home, and deciding on above mentioned things will decrease frustration, and increase satisfaction of buying a new automobile.
