Buying Used Is Greener
Manufacturing a single new car produces approximately 7 tons of CO2. By choosing a pre-owned vehicle, you avoid those manufacturing emissions entirely while keeping a functional car on the road instead of in a landfill.
Even if a used car has slightly lower fuel economy, the avoided manufacturing emissions typically outweigh the difference for years of driving.
