Now that we know all the celebrities who have bought a used car, here are the reasons why they choose a used car over a new car.

Massive savings over the new ones

Yes, even celebrities like to save money and used cars offer huge savings over the new ones. The price of the used cars depreciate quite a lot and this is something that makes them extremely cheap when compared to the brand new ones. For example, a pre-owned Bentley Continental GT will save the new owner at least a crore when compared to a brand-new car.

Less depreciation

Luxury cars see the highest amount of depreciation in the market. However, used luxury cars see a lower percentage of depreciation. This ensures a better market value of the used car. Since the depreciation is lower, the value of the used car is retained for a longer time when compared to a new car.

New cars at cheap prices

Since the celebrities love to upgrade every now and then, used cars remain the best choice for them. There is an array of choice in the used car market, which gives a lot of options to celebrities. Exchanging a used car or another is something that happens a lot in the market and celebrities love doing that.

Reliable used car dealers

The used car market has become extremely organised in recent years. The used car dealerships now certify the vehicles and do multiple point checks to ensure that the vehicle is in the best condition. Used car networks like Big Boyz Toyz offer vehicles in impeccable condition.

Transferable extended warranty

Luxury car dealers offer a range of extended warranty packs that can be extended up to 8 years. The extended warranty offers peace of mind for the used car buyers. This ensures the ownership experience remains similar to the new cars.
