The Pros of Buying A Used Vehicle

With shortages in the auto industry, new vehicles are not always available or they’re more expensive than usual. That’s why many customers are turning to buying used cars right now. There are so many great benefits of buying a used car, not just savings. Looking to buy a used vehicle? Visit Smith Chevy of Lowell, Indiana to find the used car of your dreams!

Here are some of the great advantages of buying used: 

Used Vehicles Cost Less

It’s obvious, but used cars are way more affordable than buying a brand-new vehicle. And the worst part is, new vehicles depreciate in value, about 20% just by driving off the lot. With a used vehicle, you don’t have to deal with losing so much value so quickly. You can save up to thousands of dollars by buying used. 

Lower Insurance Rates 

One thing you might not know about used vehicles is that car insurance costs less per month for a used car than a new vehicle. In addition to the savings of buying used, you’ll also have monthly savings with your insurance premium. 

Used Vehicles Often Include a Warranty 

Most used vehicles are still under factory warranty. This generally happens when people who lease a car, turn it back in after three years, and still have 2 years left on its 5 year warranty. Most used cars, especially when they are Certified Pre-Owned, go through a rigorous inspection and will come with an extended warranty by the time you see them on the lot. 

Used Cars Offer More Options 

Unlike brand-new vehicles, adding options and features don’t impact the sticker price of a used vehicle very much. These options might include roof racks, rust-proof coatings, and sunroofs, all the way to all-wheel drive or other performance features. This is another way to save money by getting more for your buck. 

Buying Used Means Avoiding Hidden Fees 

While new vehicles will always cost more than you think with pesky hidden fees, buying a used vehicle likely won’t include hidden costs and fees, such as shipping fees. These hidden costs can add up, so buying used saves you even more money.
