If
you want to buy a compact SUV, consider the Subaru Forester. The easy handling,
comprehensive safety features, and the sleek, sporty, and utilitarian traits of
the Forester make it a prime choice for both city driving and even the
occasional off-roading.
The
question is: should you buy it new or used? Will there be great differences
between a new Forester and a pre-owned unit, especially when it comes to costs
and performance? Which suits you better? Here are some points to consider:
Affordability
Generally,
the base price of a used car would be cheaper than its new counterpart, since
factors like mileage depreciate its value. However, you have to consider other
costs as well. For instance, new cars (and car models) may be more fuel
efficient than pre-owned or extensively used vehicles. The latter may also have
expired warranties and need repairs or maintenance work
sooner. Factor in the initial and the maintenance costs (together with your
financing options) upon deciding.
Features
You
can bet that newer Forester models look sleeker, have roomier interiors, and have
more advanced equipment or technologies, but older ones are pretty capable and
efficient, too. You can enjoy these features in both new and used cars. Make
sure to shop from reputable car dealerships, so even if you get a used model,
you can make sure that the quality of its features are still intact or
professionally maintained.
