Buying a New Car vs. Used - What You Need to Know

new and used cars

Buying new or used cars in Lakewood and the surrounding area is made a simple task with the help of Olympia Auto Mall. 

It’s time to get a new car or at least upgrade to a better model, but should you buy a new car or opt for a more affordable, good quality second hand one? If this is a question you are struggling with, rest assured that many people in the market for a new car grapple with the same consideration. Of course there are pros and cons to both options, but you will need to be completely informed before deciding which option is best suited for you, your lifestyle and your budget. Below are a few things you need to know:

  • You must shop wisely. The first thing that you need to know when considering buying a new car vs. used is that both are good options, if you take the time to consult with and support a reputable and reliable car dealership.

  • New car’s offer the benefit of no miles on the clock, top quality finishes and features and everything being in what should be considered “perfect condition”. They are undoubtedly a great buy, but can be quite a bit more costly than a second hand vehicle. 
  • Second hand cars that are well maintained and serviced can be just as valuable to you. A well maintained car can offer low mileage, good quality interior and exterior and also come with a much lower price tag attached. If you’re going to buy second hand cars, make sure that they are certified. This means that their maintenance and history log has been checked out and that they have been thoroughly serviced.
  • New cars come with more and often better safety features. Stability control, air bags, ABS brakes and more are all features to be expected on a new car. However, this doesn’t mean that older or second hand cars don’t have these features. Always ask the dealership for a full breakdown of a second hand vehicle’s features before you make a decision. 


Whether you are shopping for a new car or a used one in the Lakewood area, it is best to work closely with reputable new and used car dealerships in the area if you want to ensure that you are getting a good price as well as a good deal. Olympia Auto Mall should certainly be on your list of options when shopping around for the right dealership to work with.
