When it comes to second hand car, I think all too often ppl focus on the big repair they need to spend on the car when the it broke down. While they overlook at the chances that a second hand car broke down is as likely as the new car. Why? It has something to do with the mindset, if ur new car broke down, u might say something like, oh, I’m so unlucky, I got this defective car. U think u r unlucky. But if ur second hand car broke down u might say something like, oh, this is because it’s second hand, who knows what the previos owner did to the car. They didn’t realize other new car owner might experience defective car broke down as well. The difference of two are; one you think problem is yourself, another you think problem must be the previous owner.

So what I’m saying is buying a new car doesn’t necessarily save u on cost, sometime u also feel compelled to service at the authorised shop because u don’t want to void the warranty or something and they charge u premium on the services. But then you can call the insurance company to check on the accident claim, if there are no claim, most likely any cosmetic repairs are just minor hit and scratches.

Having said all that, i’m not a secondhand car dealer, but i will be getting a used car soon. I will be giving my car away to my family, which is my first hand car.

However, sometimes, you don’t know what are the hidden defects of a used car. You might not know when the problem arises and it might cost you thousands to have it repaired.
