In most cases you can save money by buying a used car, not a new car. A car loses a lot of it’s value when you drive it off the new car lot, so a used car can save money.
The only exception may be when you plan to keep a car for over seven years. In that case a new car has a warranty, and since you have owned it since new, you can maintain it to last.
So, buy new if you plan to keep the car for many years; if not, a used car may be a better value.
