With money flowing back to taxpayers this season, it’s no wonder that so many people decide to buy cars this time of year. If you are in this group and have your eye on a Mazda model, now you have to decide between buying a high end Mazda vehicle or one that is pre-owned. Colonial Mazda goes over the pros and cons of each.

Why Buy a New MAZDA Model?

With a brand-new vehicle, you will get a car that has only ever had one owner: you. This vehicle will be in pristine condition and eager to give you many excellent years of enjoyability. Plus, you can customize your model, so it comes with everything you want it to.

In addition, your new Mazda car will have extensive warranty coverage. Perhaps the only negative is the cost, as new vehicles can be pricey. With financing, however, this lets you spread out your expenses over time.

Why Buy a Pre-Owned MAZDA Vehicle?

Your budget is perhaps the main reason to consider a pre-owned Mazda car. Even going with a vehicle a few years old can help save you a lot of money, and it’s also a good way to avoid depreciation.

Another benefit is that Mazda Certified Pre-Owned models come with comprehensive warranty protection, including any remaining portion of the original three-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, plus an additional 12-month/12,000-mile Certified Pre-Owned Limited Vehicle Warranty and a seven-year/100,000-mile Certified Pre-Owned Limited Powertrain Warranty.

One downside of choosing an older model is that it may not have the most advanced tech and safety features. However, if you can live without certain features (or you’re looking for a car with a CD player or tape deck), it could be worth it financially.
