Are you split on whether to purchase a brand-new or gently used vehicle? That is a big decision and takes a lot of thought regarding aspects such as budgeting, desired vehicle availability, and even warranties. Though used cars may not come with long warranties or that new car smell, there are many benefits to purchasing a used vehicle. Here are just a few reasons why choosing a preowned vehicle might be better for you.
Six Reasons to Buy a PreOwned Vehicle
Save More In the Long Term – When you purchase a used vehicle, you are usually paying less on purchase, for car insurance, for taxes, and annual license plate fees (depending on your vehicle). If you are more budget-conscious, you can save money big with a preowned option.
Vehicle History Report – All preowned vehicles can easily be tracked with a vehicle history report. This will be able to find out if a vehicle has been in any accidents and even some of the service records available. This will help you determine if a used vehicle is a good choice for you.
Cars Last Longer These Days – In general, most recent model vehicles are built to last. Therefore even if you purchase a used vehicle, you can probably still be driving that same vehicle a few years from now.
Variety – There are plenty of options to choose from when searching used. Buying a used vehicle might allow you to purchase a more deluxe model than you might comfortably afford if new.
Certified PreOwned Options – A CPO option is generally backed by an amazing warranty for potential issues. You can have peace of mind when shopping for a CPO!
You Might Not Have to Worry About a Scratch – Since a preowned vehicle is more likely to come with some imperfections, you might be able to be more relaxed about getting that first scratch or door-ding.
