Top 5 Advantages of Buying a Used Vehicle

Buying a Used Vehicle

How does spending most of your paycheck on monthly car payments sound? Or what about selling your vehicle at the height of its depreciation? If you cringed, even just a little bit, why not consider a used vehicle? Used vehicles offer a ton of benefits that actually might sound better than owning a brand-new car. Read on to learn more about the advantages of used vehicles!

Advantage #1: Inspected Through and Through

I know what you’re thinking. Aren’t used cars unreliable due to their age and mileage? Every used vehicle that we offer has gone through a rigorous inspection process, guaranteeing a headache and hassle-free experience when purchasing a used vehicle from us. Keep Calm and Carry On – We’ve got your back.  
 

Advantage #2: It’s More Affordable

Buying a used vehicle is significantly more affordable than financing or purchasing a new car outright. Sure, you could buy that brand new Civic SI and pay $500 on top of insurance payments every month for 72 months OR get a used one and pay half that. If you don’t need the fanciest of gadgets and gimmicks (most of which you won’t use after the first couple of times) and cutting-edge design, buying a used car is definitely for you.  
 

Advantage #3: Own A Car AFTER It’s Depreciated

There’s no worse feeling than buying a new car, and then selling it after years of ownership only to have your car be severely depreciated. Used cars generally don’t have this issue, as most of the deprecation has already occurred. Some used cars actually gain value depending on demand!  
 

Advantage #4: More Affordable Insurance

The more value your car has, the more your insurance payments will be. For example, insurance for a 2023 Mazda Miata may cost over $$250 a month to insure, but a 2015 may cost around $100. Comparing insurance rates before you buy a used car is a smart idea as well.  
 

Advantage #5: More Options

Sports Car? Luxury Vehicle? Pick-up Truck? Whatever vehicle you’re looking for, more often than not, they’ll be one used. Unlike new vehicles where budgeting down to the penny is necessary, with a used vehicle, you have much more leeway.
