Used vs New Car | Money Psychology

[@pixelatehead]

Bought a used top end polo for 3.75L 8yrs ago. Spend around 1.25L on maintenance over the years and around 8k every year on insurance. The resell value now is at 3.5L and the car is still solid.

[@jishnu18]

That's not a luxury car. Story changes when we buy a used luxury cars. the sensors and parts will cost a bomb

[@hemanth26]

3.5 L inflation adjusted would be 1.5 L!

[@madraspanda9833]

A used German Luxury car will come with inherent risk a small issue will cost a lot to fix. You should set aside 5-6 lakhs just for maintenance in case you are getting a 7-8-year-old one

[@amnsbharath]

Not always true 😂

[@madraspanda9833]

@amnsbharath issues such as changing suspension, ac issues, changing tires all show up at this point of time. All costs a lot. And if you end up with some inherent issues like transmission failure or issues with engine it would costs you lakhs to fix. It's why the luxury cars depreciate a lot

[@ananthanjayapal9205]

Absolutely. Keep one lakh on service and one lakh for insurance

Got myself an 6 yr Old car , Grand i10 Sportz , 27000 KM on the ODO at 4lakhs , all costs included . Got New tyres for free. 3 years down the line , the car is in absolute good shape , only requiring an yearly service as low as 3k on average , including oil and spares .i have run it for 30k KM extra . Got the car by 100 % cash at no debt . Happy and grateful !!

We bought an alto 800 in 2014 (it's also does not have a ac or a powers steering) and it's been 10 years since and it still gives 20kmpl here in Shimla even though we have a Creta alto us still the go for anything we are doing in Shimla given the narrow roads If someone is considering buy a used car for practical reasons, I would seriously recommend a 4-5-year-old alto of any kind given you do your due diligence and check it for any obvious structural defects and the engine but other than that everything else is pretty cheap to replace or fix

[@ArindamBiswas-ng4ur]

Pratik, this video was good, but skewed towards luxury cars. Can you please do another video on similar lines considering a non-luxury cars. Question which I want answer to as like: 1. If I have 13/14L to spend on a car, I can get a brand new XUV3XO, Nexon etc, or I can get a 2-3 year old Skoda/Creta for same price (Reference from Spinny). Which one could be better? 2. In USA used car market is a big & matured one. Infact people buy more used car then new car. What is different there which gives people confidence to buy used car which is missing in India 3. As cars are depreciating asset (you explained in the video very well), should people look at used 3-4 year used car more preferably as the value of such cars have already depreciated enough & you wont loose too much money if you sell them after 5 years of usage? Thanks

[@IbbiAhmed]

Here's my personal opinion: 1. If you don't have space constraints, go for a used Skoda/Creta definitely. Sub-4m cars (3XO, Nexon) are simply raised up hatchbacks and don't have enough space to stretch out. The mileage and maintenance difference will be minor. 2. In India, we're more worried about "if he's selling the car, there's probably a fault in it" which is also a fair fear. People here often just band-aid fix and let the other person deal with their problem. Not saying this doesn't happen in USA, but the chance of it happening here is higher. Another reason could be the 15 year validity rule. A new car at the same price will be legal to drive for 2-3 years longer, as compared to a used one for the same money. Then there's also the showoff thing. New car, ribbons on bonnet, celebration videos. It's still a status symbol (vs a tool, in USA) 3. Yep. Definitely. Just be wary of a lemon.

Older german luxury cars have terrible service costs and complex engines which are made like that on purpose. If your transmission/engine fails, you would need to scrap it, as even the repair centres will say fixing the car is not worth the cost.

[@ashokpatra9573]

I bought my 1st car in 2019 a 10-year-old Chevrolet Spark Petrol for 80K and drove it for 2 month and sold for 90K. Then I bought my 2nd car in 2019 a 10-year-old Ritz Petrol for Rs. 1.4 lakh and have drove around 30000 km. Now just this month I did the Reregistration for another 5year. The car has clocked 65K and I will keep this car forever. The Ritz is running super. I Bought my 3rd car in 2023-october a 4-year-old S-cross Diesel 1.3L Facelift for 6.5 Lakh. I have drove it 22K in just 11 months. It’s a lovely car. Now I just have (10days ago) bought my 4th Car a 5year old Skoda Kodiak 2.0 Litter Diesel for 15lkah. I know the maintenance is high so I have kept 1-2 lakh for that. (I will sell the S-cross) and ll keep the Kodiak & Ritz and ll sell the s cross. So, in my opinion buying a used car is always a sensible decision. Btw I am from Odisha.

[@vishalvijayaregu2223]

When i buy a 2 year old used luxury car with about 20,000kms mileage that is worth around 1 crore new - i can get it for 60-70 lakhs . The original owner has beared the most of the depreciation . As long as I ensure the car is in a good state with proper inspection done presale - isn’t this a great vfm proposition rather than buying the car brand new ? Also bear in mind i can even buy the 1 crore car brand new outright with cash comfortably if needed , so it is not that i am buying it used because i cannot afford it , but rather from a sensible money saving pov ? Any opinions appreciated!

[@bmodi16]

Fair Point. It depends on case to case. TBH I am also in a dilemma about this same thing.. Getting a first owner second hand car which is just 2-3 years old might be that sweet spot where you know it won't be in bad condition + majority of depreciation will be on the first owner. Second hand might be bad when someone gets more than 5 year old car which might be available for less than 50% price but its maintenance cost would be a lot.

Also, in metros especially the max life if car is 15 years and after that it goes into scrap, need to keep this point in mind while buying an old car (10 year old car means only 5 years of life and zero value after that)

[@Handapanda247]

Bunch of things iffy with some points. Running cost would be pretty much the same since there has been no major developments in the engines in the last 15 years. Interest rates would be 10-11% not 13-14% (maybe on the high side if you have bad credit score) Yes, maintenance will be higher but not that significant. Service intervals remain the same, they don't become more frequent. It does get more expensive. New cars depreciate more than used cars over 3-5 years.

All the points you have mentioned don't apply for used luxury cars, which is what the video is about. . .
