Why Buy Used?

While a new car can be a good investment, many people choose to buy pre-owned vehicles. Buying used can save you money and allow you to find a car that best meets your needs. Here are some advantages of buying a used vehicle:

• Lower cost: It seems obvious, but a used vehicle costs less than a brand-new model. Typically, you can save thousands of dollars by choosing a used car.
• Cheaper insurance premiums: Insurance companies often charge lower premiums for drivers with used vehicles. A used vehicle represents less risk to insurers than a new model, so they pass those savings onto customers.
• Less depreciation: A new vehicle depreciates quickly, especially in the first year. By purchasing a used vehicle, you can minimize depreciation, making it an excellent investment.
• More options: If you purchase a new vehicle, you can only choose from the trims and options available for that model year. When shopping for a used car, you can choose from various makes and models to find a vehicle with the exact colors, features, and amenities you want.

What To Look for When Buying a Used Car

Just like buying a new car, purchasing a used vehicle may require some research to ensure you're getting the best deal. Here are some factors to consider when shopping for a pre-owned vehicle.

Mileage

When buying a used car, make sure to consider its mileage. A low-mileage vehicle can be a good sign that you'll get many years of use out of the car. However, it's also important to consider how the previous owner or owners used the vehicle. For example, an older vehicle that's hardly been used may need maintenance or repairs to run correctly. In comparison, a used car with more highway miles may actually be in better shape.

Age

The age of the vehicle is another factor to consider when buying a used car. Older vehicles may require more maintenance to keep running smoothly, so consider those ongoing costs as you make your purchasing decision.

That said, modern vehicles can last for many years. For example, Hyundai has an excellent reputation for making cars and SUVs that run for a long time. That means you shouldn't automatically discount an older model - just make sure you do your research so you feel confident in your investment.

Service History

When buying a used car, ask about its service history. These records will tell you whether previous owners have kept up with routine maintenance. If not, the car may need costly repairs in the near future. The service history can also tell you whether the car has had major repairs or extensive maintenance in the past, which can indicate potential problems with the vehicle.

Price

We understand that for many people, price is the top consideration when purchasing a used vehicle. You can use online resources, such as Kelley Blue Book, to estimate the value of a used model. By plugging in information about a car's age, mileage, and condition, you can learn whether you're getting a good deal on a pre-owned vehicle.
