For the average adult Canadian a car is not only their main form of transportation, it’s a necessity. Purchasing a “new to you” car is a huge investment, therefore, it’s important that you weigh all your options before you make your final decision. One of the most important, and potentially most difficult choices to make during the car buying process is choosing between a brand new vehicle and a used vehicle. To help you with your decision, we’ve created an infographic that compares the pros and cons of a new car vs. a used car, take a look.
