When it comes to buying a car, many choose to get a used vehicle instead of a new one
Here are some reasons why:
More bang for your buck
When you buy a used car, you get it at a fraction of its original price. This means you can opt for higher end models at a lower price.

However, there are several things you should consider before buying a used car

This includes how well kept the car is, how much it will cost to maintain, whether it’s been in an accident, and if the seller is trustworthy.

While the vehicle may look shiny on the outside and come at a bargain price, there might be hidden issues you only discover after purchasing it.

Plus, you need to be aware of the costs that may come with buying a used vehicle, like invoice fee, arrangement fee, JPJ fee, PUSPAKOM fee — all these are often lumped together as processing fees by car dealers.
