Typically, a new car can depreciate by 20-30% in the first year alone. For young buyers under 25, this rapid depreciation means that the car&#8217;s resale value will be much lower if they decide to sell it in a few years, leading to a substantial financial loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Higher_Insurance_Costs\"><\/span>Higher Insurance Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Higher-Insurance-Costs.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Higher-Insurance-Costs.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Higher-Insurance-Costs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Higher-Insurance-Costs-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Supavadee Jokiewalker \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/man-signing-car-insurance-document-lease-2337096137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Insurance premiums for new cars are generally higher compared to used cars.
