Will Save You Money in the Long Run

There are many advantages and ways buying a used car will save you money over time. First off, the sticker price is generally at least 30-40% lower than the new version’s sticker price, even if it is only a few years older. Used Vehicles will save you money with insurance, dealership fees, depreciation, and much more. You also have to keep in mind when a vehicle has been on the road for a few years with no issues, you can think it is a safe bet that it will be on the road a few more with few or minor problems.

Better Depreciation Rate and Starting Costs

20% of a new vehicle’s value drops off as soon as you leave the lot with another 10% expected to fall off after that in the first year of driving. This initial 30% has already fallen off by the time you purchase a used car, meaning it will be a much better price with a much slower rate of depreciation. And even though new cars can seem like the better option, in actuality new cars may have major issues that are unknown whereas used vehicles tend to hold up better because if they had serious problems, they would’ve come up after one or two owners.

More Confidence When Buying

One of the greatest benefits of buying used is that once a vehicle has been on the road for a couple of years, you can access a wealth of information online to make a better choice based on different vehicle histories. With just a little basic research, you can easily see which cars tend to have problems and which ones would be the best candidates for your particular needs. You can have access to vehicle history, title status, and accident history, and can compare to other vehicles that may be in the same price range just to give you the best chance of buying the perfect vehicle.

Loans and Fees

In most cases, it is much easier to get approved for a loan for a used vehicle than it is a new one and generally the rates will be much better. Insurance will also be lower on a used vehicle as well dealership fees and taxes. Since most used cars cost less than most new cars, you’ll be taxed less. Every state has its own tax code so it would be smart to find out the laws in your particular state.
