Perks Of Investing In a Second-Hand Car

Owning a car is a shared fascination among the Executive-Class in India. This phenomenon has been in vogue for many years since the number of brands and models available to the buyers were limited. There were only a handful of choices restricted to mainly domestic products. Among the cars available then, was the Ambassador from Hindustan Motors, FIAT, Maruti 800 and Tata Indica from the house of Tatas. Those who did not want to spend on brand new cars opted for second-hand cars in India.

In the past years, luxury car enthusiasts like you would have depended on imported second-hand luxury cars sellers for luxury used cars at a premium price. Ever since then, the scenario has changed. With time, there has been a wide array of your dream vehicle to choose from. The automobile market is supplied with automobiles of different models.

But you may ask why to go for a second-hand car? Well, there are numerous benefits of buying a used car. We attempt to answer this very question of yours in this article. Please read on for more.

Advantages Of Buying A Used Car: Used Car Advantages

Are you deciding to go for a used car? You will save more to afford a premium model within the same budget. When it comes to buying a car, you need to make many critical decisions, like your budget, type of car, colour, makeup, and model. While buying a brand-new car can be an exciting idea, deciding on second-hand luxury cars has its rewards. A market survey suggests that India’s used car sales have increased by almost 50% within one year. This can be attributed to the organised players jumping the fray in this market segment and a better guarantee of the quality of cars offered by them. With its increasing demand, it is clear that there are multiple pros of buying a used car. Read on to understand the advantages of a second-hand car:

• You can get a premium brand and model at the price of a regular brand-new car. 

If you can buy a used car at a competitive price and showroom condition, nothing is like it.  Affordability and savings are the dual advantages. You can own a pre-owned car of your preferred brand and model at a much lesser price when compared with a new car of the same model. Thus, there are various advantages of buying a used car from a dealership.

• Helps reduce the depreciation value of the car

The new car value depreciates by approximately 20% every year during the initial years after its purchase. This means that a new car’s value will go down about 50% through the first 02 to 03 years. Some luxury cars even have a sharper rate of depreciation during the early years. Then, some luxury cars go out of fashion, losing their value rather drastically over the period. Therefore, buying second-hand luxury cars makes sense as the value has already depreciated. 

• You save on registration fees and other expenses.

While buying a new car, you make payments to the Government on registration fees, road taxes, and other charges levied by the RTO. You end up paying more than the on-road price for the new car. You save on these expenses when buying pre-owned cars instead. The first owner would have already paid these expenses. 

• Complete assurance and warranty on the pre-owned cars

With the organised players entering the second-hand cars market, there has been a healthy competition to buy & sell pre-owned cars. The used cars are checked thoroughly for all quality issues before being showcased.  

At ABE, we believe that to sell cars one must buy cars giving priority to quality, trust and transparency. We achieve this by practising our philosophy of:

• No Accident Cars Sold or Bought

• No Odometer Tampered Cars Showcased

• No Hidden Cost Involvement in the transaction

• No Processing Fee Charged

Therefore, assured warranty with provided insurance is one of the many benefits of buying a used car from a dealership.

• No need to pay extra for all installations already fitted by the first owner

Generally, pre-owned cars already have accessories like protective windscreens film, bumper-guards, alloy wheels and other add-ons installed. In the case of new cars, you need to get these installed paying extra for them. 

• Lower Insurance Premium for a used car

Since the insurance premium is calculated on the car’s value, the amount of premium to be paid will be higher for a new car. For pre-owned cars, the value being depreciated will attract a lower premium for insurance coverage.

At ABE we provide you with more than just car insurance. We offer the best solutions for car insurance.  For more valuable information on how to get insurance for a second-hand car, please visit our website Auto Best, specifically the blog section.

• Reduces Carbon Footprint

Abroad, there is the practice of sending the second-hand cars to the scrapyard where the components are segregated, shredded and recycled, and those components that cannot be recycled are refused. During each of these processes, there is energy, primarily using carbonaceous fossil fuel, contributing to environmental pollution all over again. As it is, the manufacturing process had also contributed to some amount of carbon footprint. 

With the cars being reused for several more years it helps in reduction of Carbon Footprint.

 With all the virtues listed above, we are sure that you have by now realised and appreciate the advantages of second-hand cars. Armed with the valuable knowledge you are now one up compared to others in exercising your wisdom in buying second-hand luxury cars from Auto Best Emperio. So why wait any longer?
