You hear your bedroom door swing open and find a wide-eyed sixteen-year-old running to your bed, five in the morning. Also, it’s your teen’s 16th birthday, and yes, he wants to go to the DMV now and let the driver. After jumping through all the hoops and insurance costs, the most expensive expense comes to the table: the car.
Of course, as a parent, you want the best for your children. It is very safe, the most efficient and close to fuel efficient vehicles. While the answer to this dilemma is Mercedez-Benz or Volvo (for their safety ratings), the car’s chances are more towards Honda.
Whatever you decide on car model and make, is the bigger choice: new or used?
Assuming the teen pays for things like gas or insurance with his day job, a four-cylinder car is an option. With today’s gas prices, a six-cylinder car might be a bit out of their gas budget, and an eight-cylinder is totally crazy . I drive a six cylinder Jeep Wrangler and let’s just say it’s not exactly a gas-sipper.
Well, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of new and used cars.
New car:
Pros:
For the most part, the coach will do perfectly fine, with everything in working order and will need to be broken. The device has an advantage in power, transmission, and so on. Depending on the make of the vehicle this could range from three to ten years. The vehicle may have advanced safety features such as smart ABS, smart airbags, GPS, and a whole series of three-letter SEARCH that will make you feel old.
Cons:
Unless the money is flowing, the price is a con number for a new car. Typically, a new (affordable) car will be in the $20,000 price range. This would be something like Honda, Toyota, or if you want an American with a new line of Chevrolets (which I heard is not very well done), but they have a 10 year warranty. These are also cheap compared to Honda or Toyota.
used car:
Pros:
The biggest and most obvious benefit of buying a used car is, of course, the price. But there is no just price, but the price of the bed in time. Used in (engine, transmission) is broken and does not run the risk (as high as a new car) of having either a transmission or an engine problem. This sounds odd, but let me explain. The teeth in the transmission of the year sync when working with each other, have already formed themselves in geometry. It’s kind of like how your used tennis shoes feel more comfortable than new tennis shoes. Therefore, the floor of the gas pedal in a used car faces less risk of breakage than in a new car that has not been broken into.
A car care well could go from easy to high mileage. It is not uncommon for a person to drive a car with over 150,000 miles on it. birthday parties)
Cons:
I thought about the same things that are pros, in a strange way. Everything that is used in the team is good, it can also be bad. This depends on the use and care given to the vehicle by the previous owner. We said to break the transmission and the engine. Buying a new car gives the driver responsibility for breaking the transmission and engine. This means that out of the lot, the seller will tell you that you can easily get on the gas pedal for about a month or so. This is to give all the components time to “sync” together. In a used car, this has already happened, unless you have car maintained by a reliable mechanic, you do not know how to care for that car to have received He was using the pedal to the metal all the time or it was being driven gently. Commonly it can be understood by the “correctness” of the transmission, but this is not always the case. There may also be accidents in that car that are not properly reported or downplayed. I remember the sight when I bought my perfect Vindelinus. It wasn’t until about a year and a half after I bought it that I had to replace the crowns, which I felt had a broken edge in the lip, and the edges were exposed to sharp metal; bandage punctures
This is by no means what you expect. The most important thing to remember is to always use common sense if market value of the car is $20,000 and you see for $10,000, something is up.
I hope this helps you make a decision on your teenage car.
Happy is driving.
