Resources for Buying a Car

Autos - Buying New versus Used

If it's time to replace that aging vehicle, Sun East can help. Basically, it comes down to what you want and can afford. Buying a new vehicle has many advantages, including getting the vehicle exactly as you want it, obtaining full manufacturer's warranty, and having little if anything to worry about when it comes to repairs.

However, buying used can be a better choice, especially if your budget is limited. Many late models are on the market, some with a portion of the manufacturer's warranty remaining. Two factors to consider before you buy are that the car is in good mechanical shape and that it is priced fairly. Your credit union urges you to have any used vehicle you are considering buying checked by a qualified mechanic. The charge is nominal - usually $50 to $100 and includes checking all the vehicle's major systems - engine, transmission, electrical, heating, cooling, and brakes. Fair market value can be easily determined by consulting any number of pricing guides available at your credit union or on the Internet. Check out Sun East's Auto Center for more information.

Whether you decide to buy new or used, Sun East urges you to carefully consider all of the pros and cons before you visit the car lots. When you're ready to buy, we'll be ready with reasonable finance terms.
