What is the difference between buying a new car and a used car?

[TheoLee]

Buying a new car and a used car differs in the following aspects: 1. Vehicle condition: A new car is in its optimal state right off the production line, with all parts being brand new, and the replacement cost for any issues during the warranty period is relatively low. A used car has been used by at least one previous owner, and the wear and tear on its parts vary depending on the previous owner's usage. Whether it's routine maintenance or repairs for issues, the costs will generally be higher than those for a new car. 2. Initial investment cost: The cost of a new car includes the purchase price + purchase tax + insurance fees + other miscellaneous expenses, while a used car only involves the car price + service fee. Comparatively, the cost of purchasing a used car is lower.
