Cars that are not worth buying second-hand
Many motorists prefer to buy not new cars, but those that were not in use for long.
In this way, you can save at least 11% of the cost - this is the markup that usually goes to the price of a car for its newness and lack of wear, writes SF Gate.
In most cases, this is a wise decision, however there are exceptions. Some cars after one year of use almost do not lose in price, and if the difference in price between such a car and a new one of the same model is 9-15%, then it is better to buy a new car. Since the purchase of new products allows customers to use improved technology and security features, and often the best guarantee.
On average, a new car loses 26,8% of its value or 7 654 dollar during one year of service.
Analytical company iSeeCars.com analyzed more than 6 millions of vehicles sold from 1 in August 2017 of the year to 24 in January of 2018, to determine which new cars lose in price the least. And it is better to buy such cars with new ones, since insignificant savings do not justify potential losses from the purchase of a used car.
Basically, the list includes SUVs and trucks, but there are exceptions.
