Buying A Used Car May Be A Better Choice Instead Of Waiting 10 Months For A New One

  • The automobile market has expanded at a brisk pace in the last decade. The Indian automobile industry, in particular, has witnessed a massive surge in the domestic market for passenger vehicles (cars, vans, and other utility vehicles) and two-wheelers. Nearly three million passenger vehicles are consumed locally in India every year.

    The impact of Covid-19 has adversely affected the purchasing power of consumers worldwide. However, amid growing concerns over social distancing and contactless commutation, cars, and other personal vehicles’ demand is rising. Therefore, opting for a second-hand car becomes a viable option in the current scenario for three reasons:

    • Many consumers are not willing to exhaust their savings for buying a brand new car amid financial uncertainties.
    • The pandemic wave and subsequent lockdowns have disrupted the automobile industry’s supply chain and logistics, increasing the waiting period for new cars.
    • The ready availability of Muthoot Capital used car finance has provided an additional cushion for consumers to buy a second-hand vehicle without paying the entire amount upfront.

    Let’s dive further to understand why buying a used car over a brand new one is a better choice, especially using a second hand car loan.

    4 Reasons Why You Should Be Buying A Used Car

    Save money

    Buying a used car offers two-fold advantages in terms of savings:

    • A car’s value starts decreasing as soon as it hits the road because cars fall under the category of depreciating assets. Therefore, buying a less aged car over a new one can help you save significantly.
    • You can buy bigger and higher-end models at the cost of base models. They offer greater luxury, comfort, security, and social value.

    Certified pre-owned vehicles

    Most second-hand cars from reliable automobile deals are thoroughly reconditioned before being handed over to customers. They also come with a warranty from the dealer that gives you complete peace of mind.

    Besides, most new car owners buy extended warranties out of apprehension. Hence, you can enjoy the leftover part of this warranty in most cases if you buy a used car less than three years old.

    Detailed vehicle history

    With rapid digitization, taking out a car’s detailed history and service records is no longer a pain point for consumers planning to buy a second hand car. Companies like Droom provide detailed information about any registered vehicle in India, including registration details, insurance history, service logs, etc. It allows consumers to make an informed decision and negotiate better with sellers.

    Attractive financing options

    One reason for the growing popularity of used cars in India is the attractive financing options available in the market. Muthoot FinCorp offers used car loans, through its sister concern Muthoot Capital Services Limited, at competitive interest rates with flexible repayment tenures, ranging from 12 to 60 months.
