Are you someone who would like to try driving a used car and has always driven new? Or are you looking to buy your first car altogether? It is very easy to walk into a dealership lot and pick out the best pre-owned vehicle that you feel you want to drive away in. After test-driving a good-looking car, you may decide you want to buy it—a great decision! Here are some advantages to buying a used car from a dealership!
Paperwork — Buying a used car from a dealership can be like buying a new one. The dealership completes all necessary paperwork for you, saving you a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Financing — A dealership can work with you on approved financing, and help you complete a credit application. Buying a used vehicle in itself provides you with a lower price than if you had bought it new.
You can still get specific features on a used car – Are you looking for a sunroof? Navigation system? Eight-speed automatic transmission? You can get these features on a used vehicle without paying as much as the car’s original owner did for them.
Variety to choose from — Going to a dealership can provide you with many kinds of vehicles to choose from—they are all right there online for you to look at beforehand if you so choose, and once you go to the dealership you can test drive multiple vehicles in one day if you would like, and do it all at the same place. No dealing with multiple prospective individuals who you may buy a car from.
Research – As mentioned above, you can go online to look at used inventory. When considering buying from a used car dealer, you can go right to their website and look through everything they have in stock. You can search on a car dealer’s website for maximum amounts you are willing to pay, make, model, body style, color, and more!
Quality inspection — You can know that by going to a dealership any vehicle you may purchase has been thoroughly inspected for any problems. It is inspected both inside and out. The vehicle’s interior is also thoroughly vacuumed out of any dirt, debris, or food scraps that the previous owner had left in there.
Depreciation – Depreciation refers to a car’s value, and that seriously decreases within the first three years of a car’s life. When you buy a used car several years after it has been manufactured, you can avoid the steep depreciation slope.
Low insurance premiums – Buying used generally results in lower insurance premiums than a new car.
The car is being recycled – That’s right, purchasing a used car and then driving it is essentially re-using it, giving it a second life. This can really be a “green” choice for environmentalists.
