Let’s get into it. There’s nothing quite like the smell of a new car. Coupled with a squeaky clean dashboard, that new car is enough to tempt you into hands with the dealer and regretting what you’ve done a few days later. Unfortunately, the car does come with a price tag that could easily break the bank for years to come.
This is why so many car buyers don’t give a second thought to turning to the pre-owned car dealerships in search of quality used cars for sale.
1. Less car depreciation
Car depreciation is an unavoidable reality of driving, but a used car offers much less depreciation than a new one. New cars typically depreciate about 20-25 percent when they are driven off the lot. And most cars will lose another 10 percent in value during the first year.
2. Lower insurance costs
Insurance costs vary based on your age, driving history, credit score, mileage and location. Typically — just as the vehicle will cost less — insurance for a used car tends to be much lower than that of a brand new one.
3. Lower dealership fees
The expected extra fees that come with your used car are not created equal across the country. But they are less expensive than the fees associated with a new car because the cost of the car is less in the first place.
4. More bang for your buck
Stretching your rands is another major benefit that comes with buying a used car. You can buy more car, by purchasing used rather than new. If you have your sights set on a luxury car, you may not be able to afford this year’s model, but one that is two or three years old could better fit your budget.
5. Peace of mind
In the past, driving used cars carried a stigma and many drivers saw it as a risk, but the availability of car history reports has altered thisopinion. Drivers now can see details about a car’s ownership, accident history, title status, kilometres and more.
6. Better for the Environment
Almost a quarter of the carbon dioxide a car produces during its life-cycle occurs during manufacturing and initial shipment. Buying a used car reduces the carbon dioxide output into the environment. Used cars also impact the environment less than newer, hybrid vehicles.
