A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Should a new driver get a used car or a new car?
Both approaches have merit depending on the situation. A reliable used car from a trusted brand (Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Mazda3 from 2020 or newer) offers lower upfront cost and reduced insurance premiums. A new car offers the latest safety technology, a full warranty, and the option to lease with predictable monthly costs. For new drivers who are learning, some parents prefer a less expensive used car to reduce the financial stakes of minor accidents. For new drivers who will be making their own payments, leasing a new vehicle with modern safety features can be more predictable than maintaining an aging used car.

Sean and Brandon were fantastic! I cannot stress how much easier the car buying process was with Sean’s guidance and network. Brandon was a consummate professional when it came to the delivery of our new car! It was clean and cared for after the long drive down. I cannot stress how much better it was working with them as opposed to going to a dealer. We will be buying all our future cars through Sean at Vantage!
