Here are four of the top reasons why buying a used car instead of a new one is the smart way to buy a car...
1. Price
When you buy a used car, you can get a lot more car for your money. Whether you’re looking for a luxury sedan, updated technology features, or more seats for your expanding family, buying used will allow you to get more of what you want with less of a financial burden.
2. Depreciation
As many people will tell you, so much of a new car’s value diminishes the second you drive it off the lot. Our research suggests that some new models can lose 40% or more of their value within the first year of ownership. Used cars don’t depreciate as instantly.
3. Wide range of choices
It might seem like you have more choices when buying new since you can order the exact color and features you want, but keep in mind that you have only that year’s models to choose from. When you buy used, you can choose from numerous vehicle feature configurations across many years of used car models. When you have more choices, chances are you’ll find something that better meets the needs of you and your family.
4. Quality
A lot of people will argue that it’s better to buy new because they can get top quality. The best quality means better safety features, lower maintenance costs, and more peace of mind. The good news, however, is that you don’t have to buy new to get top quality anymore.
That’s what sets Poquet apart. Unlike other used car dealerships, we pride ourselves on finding the highest quality used cars anywhere and selling them for the best price in town. No car leaves our lot without a 110-point mechanical inspection, and our customers tell us they value our honesty and professionalism above all else.
When you know where to shop, buying used simply no longer comes with the risks that it used to.
In short, if you’re interested in saving your money while still driving away with a top-quality car that fits all your needs, buying used is the smart way to go.
