The debate between buying new or used is a tale as old as time. Some stand firmly on one side of the issue while others remain unmoving on the other. How are you to know which side to take, new or used Ford F-150? Let’s look at both sides of the discussion and try to help demystify the issue.
New Ford F-150
Buying a vehicle fresh off the assembly line comes with a number of undeniable benefits, starting with the Ford new vehicle limited warranty. For the first three years or 36,000 miles of ownership, Ford provides you bumper-to-bumper coverage for any mechanical or workmanship defects that should arise during that time.
One thing to consider, however, is the drop in value the vehicle will undergo after purchase. Over its first few years, all new vehicles depreciate, sometimes losing as much as 30% of their value.
Used Ford F-150
Right off the bat, buyers will realize an immediate perk to buying used: the price tag! While you may not get bumper-to-bumper coverage from a new vehicle warranty, the money you save from buying used can easily be put to any potential problems the vehicle may run into in the future.
When buying used, you should always inquire about the vehicle’s history. If a vehicle has been in an accident in the past, even if it has been serviced since then, there could still be underlying damage in the engine. Make sure to have the engine looked at by a mechanic before buying!
