What Makes Used Car Buyers Differ from New Car Buyers
Author: Diana
One of the most important investments made by consumers is the purchase/lease a car, which will meet his/her purposes and last longer. Along with this, car buyers want to be protected by the law. This means that in case if the buyer faces with constant car defects about which s/he hasn't been told before the purchase, the car manufacturer or dealer takes the responsibility of fixing or reimbursing the loss.
It is not a secret that new cars cost higher than used ones. In addition, when buying a car from the manufacturer, the buyer is given a written warranty for a specific period of time. However, this aspect cannot be true for all used car purchases, since not all used car sellers can provide a written warranty. Cars with written warranty ensure the owner from possible maintenance work for repairing car problems.
First of all car buyers should be aware of the current issues that can be raised when buying either a used car or a new car. As per the California Consumer Law, if the buyer purchased/leased a new car that after awhile showed some constant problems, the case is covered by the lemon law. The California Lemon Law protects new car buyer's rights in case they face some constant problems with the car.
If the car buyer purchased/leased a used car that has hidden defects in it, it falls under the dealer fraud. In this case the dealer is obligated to make the proper compensation for fraudulent transactions. Dealer fraud situations vary from type to type making the buyer be more aware of car scams.
The next factor is the cost of car that should be purchased / leased by the buyer. New cars compared with used ones cost higher and last longer. On the contrary, used cars are not expensive due to the mileage on the odometer and mechanical problems. History of used cars makes it cheaper for the buyer who is not intended to buy a new car.
Finalizing the differences, two criteria make used car buyers differ from new car buyers. They are amount of money to be invested for purchasing a car and case distinction by the law.
If you think that your car being it a new or a used one has defects about which you haven't been told before or it appeared to have constant problems recently impairing its usability and safety, your best choice is to refer to the lemon law / dealer fraud lawyer. The Law Office of Hovanes Margarian is practiced in these fields and can fight for your case to reach preferred result.
