a “slightly-used” car – one that’s only around two years old and has
under 30,000 miles on it – can help you keep cash in your pocket without
sacrificing quality. Below are 6 benefits of buying a used car (in
like-new condition) over a brand new one.
Sales Tax on New Cars
Every ad for a new car glosses over the tax issue. Many state laws subject new cars to state sales tax, but not used cars. In Georgia, for example, if you buy a used car from a private seller,
you won’t owe any sales tax at all. Comparatively, the sales tax that
dealers have to add to the price of a new car can be thousands of
dollars. Don’t underestimate the savings, and research your state’s laws
on the subject before you make a decision.
