In the modern world it really is convenient to own your own vehicle. It allows you to get around without having to ask a friend to drive you or wait for a bus. An auto of your own gives you freedom to choose when and where you work and allows you to be anywhere much quicker than if you relied on public transport. But everyone knows that purchasing a vehicle is expensive, even with finance This is why second hand purchases are popular. So let's discuss who buys used cars and for what purposes.

Some people love having a brand new car, others don't. If you park up in public there is always the worry that someone may scratch your vehicle or dent it. Unless you have a private garage, owning a brand new automobile can actually be a headache. Second hand cars may already have some scratches or a little dent, so you won't become obsessive over making any more.

Next, let's take a look at people who can't get finance. Perhaps you already have a loan or credit card you are paying back. Or you may have a bad credit report. There are many reasons that you may not get accepted for a loan or credit. Do not torture yourself over the reasons. Instead think of it as a blessing in disguise. One less loan to pay back, and your car will be rightfully yours.

If you opt for a finance deal you can be tied into it for as much as ten years. A ten year old car is no longer a new one, so why on earth would you pay for a truck for ten years. It makes no sense.

People on low budgets also buy used automobiles. This is because even if they could get accepted for finance, the payments would be a strain on the monthly budget. What is the point of having to make repayments each month for a vehicle if you can't even afford to put gas in the tank.

When you opt for a brand new car, insurance premiums will be sky high. If you decide to invest in an older truck you won't need to pay as much, and you won't need to bother taking out a comprehensive policy. The amount you will pay for your insurance will depend on a lot of factors, so get some quotes before you choose your auto.

Another reason that second hand may be best for you is when you are buying for work. Say you are a builder. There is no need to have a shiny van, as it will get dirty in no time. Also you may let your employees drive your van. This is something you wouldn't think of doing if it was new.

So, these are some of the many reasons who people buy second hand. Unless you have a dream to own a specific car and you can afford to buy it, second hand is the best options. Just think how much more fun you can have in your motor when you are not paying out hundreds of bucks for it every month. With all the extra money you save on monthly repayments and on high insurance premiums, you will be able to enjoy motoring to the max and perhaps even be able to afford a family vacation too.
