Benefits of Buying a Used Car 

Skipping the new car lot and purchasing pre-owned is a fantastic option for shoppers on a budget! While significant savings upfront are the obvious benefit, these perks go far beyond sticker price:

  • Slower depreciation rates
    Brand-new vehicles depreciate rapidly in value the moment they roll off the lot, but buying used means that the bulk of depreciation has already occurred.
  • Lower insurance premiums
    Because they have already depreciated, used cars don’t require gap insurance – so you’ll save on your auto policy!
  • Thorough inspection
    Our 172-point inspection allows you to cruise with confidence, knowing that every inch of your vehicle has been checked – inside and out!
  • No hidden fees
    Many new car prices are padded with additional fees, like charges for shipping and dealer preparation. Used cars for sale, however, don’t typically have these extra costs.
  • Warranty coverage
    Newer used cars may still be under warranty, while others come with the option to add a new warranty. 
  • Environmental benefits
    Since nearly 25% of carbon dioxide production over a vehicle’s lifespan is associated with manufacturing and shipping, buying used helps reduce emissions!

What to Look For in a Used Car 

Before embarking on your car search, take some time to consider your needs. Distinguish between features you must have and those you can live without, then set your budget accordingly. Once you’re on the lot, keep these tips in mind to ensure you leave the lot with the perfect used car, truck, or SUV!

Tip #1: Remember that low mileage is typically best.

While there are exceptions, as a general rule, low mileage is a major advantage. It indicates less wear and tear, reducing the risk of issues in the near future.

Tip #2: Ask the right questions.

Be sure to find out how many owners the vehicle had, how many keys come with it, if it has a clean vehicle history report, etc.

Tip #3: Take a test drive.

If possible, test the vehicle in different conditions to see how it handles. For instance, check out its performance at high speeds on the highway as well as in stop-and-go traffic in town.

Tip #4: Settle on a fair price.

While we proudly provide the most competitive prices in the region, you’re welcome to do your own research!
