It is very difficult to own a car in Turkey. Prices have skyrocketed, especially recently. On the other hand because of COVID-19 zero vehicle shortage It goes on. So if you still want to buy a car while this is the case, should you choose a car that is cheaper than new and comparable cars, or should you choose an older car that is comparable in price? high end car me?

In this content we discuss old but luxury vehicles and modern but cheap vehicles. comparison we will. We’ll take a look at the pros and cons of both categories and try to figure out which one outweighs…

Let’s take a closer look at the subject: We know you will have a hard time choosing. For example, we are talking about a comparison like this: 2005 model Mercedes-Benz S350 etc. Fiat Egea from 2022.

Rest assured, it will tear you between both models. there will be many reasons. First, let’s see the pros and cons of old luxury cars and then the pros and cons of new but cheap cars.

No matter how old the car is, the premium feeling it gives does not change.

*You can see the interior of the 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Some models launched today as new but cheap do not have this comfort. If you look closely at the photo, you can see that the seats are adjusted electronically and with buttons.

Companies that produce luxury vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz, strive for maximum comfort and driving pleasure in the automotive industry. your best materials they use. Materials such as leather seats, wood upholstery, soft-coated plastics not only enhance the appearance of the vehicle, but also your feeling also suits and beautifies.

In addition to the use of such materials, the insulation, suspension and chassis of these vehicles are very advanced, which makes the driving comfort, the combination of engine and transmission free. unavoidableThese vehicles, together with the fact that they are high-end products, give you an unforgettable premium feeling. Even some features of an old and luxury vehicle can be found in brand new cars today. may not be found.

Just like its comfort, its motor skills are also different.

Another big plus of a luxury vehicle, albeit an old one, is the performance it will deliver. These types of vehicles are usually to the high performance and stability come to the fore without regard to taxes and fuel consumption. That’s why we see bulky multi-cylinder engines in luxury vehicles. This means high performance. Fiat Egea, which you bought cheaply as new 95 hp With an old Mercedes-Benz you can easily take roads that you can’t take with the motorized versions…

Of course, we have now counted so much good, the prices are also affordable; You could run up and say, why don’t we all have one of these? let’s come to the negative aspects:

No guarantees!

Due to the age and mileage of the old vehicles, these are no longer provided by the services. warranties disappears. This means that the car, which is already old and tired enough, is going to cause problems and you will have to give it out of your own pocket. Since our vehicle in question is also a Mercedes-Benz and is equipped with old technologies. your work is very difficult.

There is no warranty and repair costs are high.

As if the lack of warranty wasn’t bad enough, these vehicles are very difficult to maintain due to their powerful engines and high-end features. it will be costly. Forget everything else, even spare parts are hard to find. Let’s say you found it, there is no master in the market who can properly repair an old and luxury car…

These cars’ favorite place is the gas station and their favorite drink is gasoline!

You have agreed to the repair work. Also this time fuel costs you are confronted. The fuel consumption of the 2005 Mercedes-Benz S350, which we talked about at the beginning of our news item, will be 15-17 l/100 km. This is because old and inefficient engines are used even in the most economical versions. 3.0 liter engines to prefer.

Come on, it’s cheap like Fiat Egea, but entry level new cars let’s see.

On gelatin, it smells zero.

No matter what brand new vehicle you buy today, it comes jelloed and clean. What we call cleaning is actually cleaning fabrics and other upholstery. fresh from the factory. There is not the slightest flaw, no one has touched it. Of course, these are one of the first advantages that we encounter with new cars.

Authorized service guaranteed maintenance.

Even if you buy the cheapest new car today, it will help you every time you have a problem, you can reach us when you call and most of the time. you don’t pay will be at your service. And all over Turkey. At the same time, since the vehicle is guaranteed for the duration of your stay, you cannot even pay money for the car, except for routine maintenance. you will not spend. Seems like a plus worth considering.

Although some new cars still have a rear window with arms, their equipment is at an acceptable level.

Today, some 2022 model vehicles are in base models. poor rear window they offer. But things change once we get to the front. Systems such as touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digital displays in general are now almost standardized. Moreover, many options are possible. technological feature also available. Older luxury cars do not have such an option.

If you have some savings to spare, you can take advantage of the dealers’ financial backing.

If you go to the classifieds sites and search for a 2005 model Mercedes-Benz S350, you can find prices of 2022 Egea Sedan Lounge (diesel) models. with comparable figures you will meet. A new vehicle has the following advantage: If you can pay a certain amount in cash, you can get financial support from the dealer and get a bank loan. You can borrow at more favorable rates.

What we have told you so far may have reminded you of the zero but cheap model again. However, not everything is so good. Some cheap but new model vehicles cons there is also:

The quality of the material may not meet your expectations.

The aim of producing affordable new cars is to ensure that everyone has access to the car. To achieve this, there are some points that need to be released. At the forefront of the troubles to come material quality coming. Hard and cheap plastic material, poor quality fabric and poor insulation can cause all kinds of squeaks in the vehicle. In addition, the noise that cars get from the outside increases due to poor quality materials. This is continuous for hours. noise resources.

Brand value is also important.

There is a situation that applies to all of us: the perception left by Mercedes-Benz and the perception left by Fiat unfortunately different. Owning a Mercedes-Benz is sensual, while driving a Fiat can feel like driving a commercial car.

If you say enough to get me off the ground, this situation can sometimes turn into torture.

Another point where economical, new model cars lag behind is their performance. By choosing small volume engines to consume less fuel, driving comfort is reduced to zero. Even if your vehicle is brand new, you can fall behind the old models on a difficult slope.

To summarise; Both categories we examined have their own advantages and disadvantages. So which one should you choose? The answer to this question is hidden in the person who will buy the vehicle. If the purchased vehicle will be used in the city and not much importance is attached to it, then it is a null model. economical car choice can be made. Consumers who value performance and comfort can turn to old but luxurious models.
