KFUPM campus is quite vast, and students need to get from building to building frequently, making transportations a daily necessity. Although the university offers a bus service, a car might facilitate students punctuality. Considering student’s budget, many of them tend to choose used car over new car. To determine which is most advantageous for students, two principle factors should be considered: cost and functionality.
One key factor to decide which car to purchase is the cost. New cars are more expensive than used cars. A significant number of KFUPM students depend on monthly stipend as an income, so they can not afford the expenses of a new car. In contrast, they can buy a used car by installments. Consequently used car is an affordable choice for students.
Another major feature to select the suitable car for the mentioned students is the functionality. Used cars often require more repairing than new cars. Students at KFUPM have a really busy schedules, so it is challenging for them to find time to repair their cars continuously, by contrast, new cars do not need much repairs. According to that, new car a more comfortable option.
Ultimately, with respect to cost and functionality there are noticeable differences between used and new vehicles. New car is more expensive for students, but it functions better than used cars. While used car is cheaper, it may need more repairs. For reasonably well off students new car is the best option, but for undergraduates with limited budget, used car is more economical.
