NEAT 2nd Level ― Short Essay Writing

The following chart shows the advantages and disadvantages of buying a new car versus buying a used car. After choosing a side, write an introduction and come up with a third reason. Then, write about all three reasons and make a conclusion. (80―120 words)

Advantages

- know that it is in good condition
- proud of owning something new
- _______________________________

Disadvantages

- more expensive than a used car
- buy one that is reliable
- _______________________________

In my opinion, I think that it is best to buy a car that is brand new. For starters, a brand new car will be in very good condition because all of the parts will be used. That is good for safety. Next, if I buy a new car, I can feel very proud. The reason is that I worked hard to buy something that is really nice. Finally, owning a new car rather than an old one is good because it allows me to sell the car for more in the future. On the other hand, an older car will sell for much less money. In conclusion, I believe it is much better to buy a new car.

In my opinion, I think that it is best to buy a car that is used. For starters, a used car is less expensive than a new car. If you aren’t very rich, the price of a car is really important to think about. Next, buying a used car will allow you to get one that is very reliable. For instance, sometimes there are major problems with new cars, but no one knows about them yet because the cars haven’t been driven. Finally, used cars give people much more options. For instance, there are many more cars at cheaper prices so you will be able to choose a good car that you like, even though it was originally much more expensive. In conclusion, I believe it is much better to buy a used car.
