When shopping for a new car, most folks will weigh the pros and cons of buying new versus buying used. When you buy new, you’re essentially eliminating the largest variable in any used car purchase, that being how it was treated by its previous owner(s). A car that was babied compared to one that was beat on can be vastly different in terms of repair costs and general mechanical condition, so it’s extremely important to have your used car checked out. New cars come with warranties, and are generally free from most problems, save for a recall or weird electrical hiccup here and there.
