So, if you still want to buy a car while this is the case, should you choose a car that is more affordable than new and similar ones, or should you choose an older car that is similar in price? high end car me?
In this content, we will discuss old but luxury segment vehicles and modern but inexpensive vehicles. comparison we will do. We will look at the pros and cons of both categories and try to figure out which one will outweigh…
Let’s take a closer look at the subject: We know that you will have a hard time choosing. For example, we are talking about an equation like this: 2005 model Mercedes-Benz S350 etc. 2022 model Fiat Egea.
Rest assured, it will get you torn between both models. there will be many reasons. Let’s first examine the pros and cons of old luxury cars, and then the pros and cons of new but cheap cars.
No matter how old the car is, the premium feel it gives does not change.
*You see the interior of the 2005 model Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Some of the models that are launched as new but cheap today do not have this comfort. If you look carefully at the photo, you can see that the seats are adjusted electronically and with buttons.
Companies that produce luxury vehicles such as Mercedes-Benz, aim to provide maximum comfort and driving pleasure in the automobile industry. your best materials they use. Materials such as leather seats, wooden upholstery, soft-coated plastics not only enhance the appearance of the vehicle, but also your feeling also customizes and beautifies.
In addition to the use of such materials, the insulation, suspension and chassis of these vehicles are very advanced, so the ride comfort, engine and transmission combination are at no cost. unavoidableThese vehicles, together with being high-end products, give you an unforgettable premium feeling. Even some features of an old and luxury vehicle can be found in brand new cars today. may not be found.
Like its comfort, its motor powers are also different.
Another big plus of a luxury vehicle, albeit an old one, will be the performance it will provide. These types of vehicles are usually to the high performance and stability come to the fore without considering taxes and fuel consumption. That’s why we see bulky and multi-cylinder engines in luxury vehicles. This means high performance. Fiat Egea, which you bought cheaply as new, 95 hp With an old Mercedes-Benz, you can easily cover the roads you can’t take with the versions with the engine…
Of course, we have counted so many good things now, the prices are also affordable; You might run up and say, why don’t we all get one of these? let’s come to the negative aspects:
No guarantees!
Due to the age and mileage of the old vehicles, they are no longer provided by the services. warranties disappears. This means that the already old and tired car will start to cause problems and you have to give it out of your own pocket. Considering that our vehicle in question is also a Mercedes-Benz and is equipped with old technologies. your job is very difficult.
There is no warranty and repair costs are high.
As if the lack of warranty wasn’t bad enough, these vehicles are very difficult to maintain due to their high-performance engines and high-end features. it will be costly. Forget everything else, even spare parts are hard to find. Let’s say you found it, there is no master in the market who can fix an old and luxury car well…
The favorite place of these cars is the petrol station, and their favorite drink is petrol!
You agreed to the repair work. This time too fuel costs you are facing. The fuel consumption of the 2005 Mercedes-Benz S350, which we mentioned at the beginning of our news, will be 15-17L/100km. This is because old and inefficient engines are used, even in the most economical versions. 3.0 liter engines to be preferred.
Come on, it’s cheap like Fiat Egea, but entry segment new cars let’s see.
On gelatins, it smells zero.
No matter which brand new vehicle you buy today, it is delivered with gelatin and clean. What we call cleaning is actually the cleaning of fabrics and other upholstery. fresh out of the factory. There is not the slightest flaw, no one touched it. These, of course, are one of the first advantages that we encounter in new cars.
Authorized service guaranteed maintenance.
Even if you buy the cheapest new car today, it will help you every time you have a problem, you can reach when you call and most of the time. you will not pay will be your service. And all over Turkey. At the same time, since the vehicle will have a guarantee for the duration of your stay, you can’t even pay money for the car except for routine maintenance. you will not spend. Seems like a plus worth considering.
Although some new cars still have a rear glass with arms, their equipment is at an acceptable level.
Today, some of the 2022 model vehicles are in base models. arm rear window they offer. But things change once we get to the front. Systems such as touch screen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digital display screens are now close to standardization in general. Moreover, many options are available. technological feature also available. Older model luxury cars do not have such an option.
If you have a small savings on the side, you can benefit from the financial support of the dealers.
If you go to the classifieds sites and search for the 2005 model Mercedes-Benz S350, you can find the 2022 model Egea Sedan Lounge (diesel) prices. with similar figures you will meet. A new vehicle has the following advantage: If you can pay a certain amount in cash, you can get financial support from the dealer and get a bank loan. You can borrow at more favorable rates.
What we have told so far may have turned your mind back to the zero but cheap model. However, not everything is this good. Some cheap but new model vehicles disadvantages there is also:
Material quality may not meet your expectations.
The aim of the production of affordable new cars is to ensure that everyone has access to the car. In order to achieve this, there are some points that must be abandoned. At the forefront of the issues to be material quality is coming. Hard and cheap plastic material, poor quality fabric and poor insulation can cause all sorts of squeaks inside the vehicle. In addition, the noise that cars get from outside increases due to poor quality materials. This is uninterrupted for hours. noise means.
Brand value is also important.
There is a situation that applies to all of us: the perception left by Mercedes-Benz and the perception left by Fiat unfortunately different. Owning a Mercedes-Benz is sensual, while driving a Fiat can feel like driving a commercial car.
If you say enough to get me off the ground, this situation can sometimes turn into torture.
Another point where economical, new model vehicles are left behind is their performance. Choosing small-volume engines just to consume less fuel reduces driving comfort to zero. Even if your vehicle is brand new, you can lag behind the old models on a difficult slope.
To summarize; Both categories we have examined have their own advantages and disadvantages. So which one should you choose? The answer to this question is hidden in the person who will buy the vehicle. If the purchased vehicle will be used in the city and will not be given much importance, it is a zero model. economy car choice can be made. Consumers who care about performance and comfort can turn to old but luxury models.
