Road Safety: Buying a Used Vehicle

Some students when gaining their license may look to purchase a used car for transportation.

It is recommending before buying a used vehicle, students should think about:

• what best suits your needs, lifestyle and budget  
• whether you want to buy a used vehicle through a private sale, online, auction or dealership. Each option has pros and cons
• if you’re buying an electric vehicle, consider how and where you will charge the vehicle
• the total costs involved in buying a used vehicle. This includes registration, insurance, maintenance or repairs and interest on any loan.
