Why Buy Used?
Why Buy a Used Car
When it comes time to purchase a new vehicle, you have to make a decision between purchasing a new vehicle, purchasing a used vehicle and leasing a vehicle. While each option has its benefits, buying a used vehicle is a great choice because it can help save you money and can allow you to drive the vehicle you want.
Here at Bakersfield Mitsubishi in Bakersfield, CA, we have a wide assortment of used vehicles available. To find the perfect ride for you, we encourage you to stop by our dealership and take a test drive in one of many vehicles.
Lower Depreciation
If you purchase a new vehicle, the vehicle’s value will decrease by about 20% when you drive away from the dealership and will decrease by another 10% within just a year of ownership. Buying a used vehicle results in a lower depreciation, meaning your vehicle will lose less value when you purchase it.
Reduced Car Insurance
Your car insurance is based on your vehicle’s worth. For new vehicles, you will accordingly have higher insurance, since new vehicles have higher values. When compared to a new model, the insurance for a used vehicle tends to be lower since it has less value, saving you money over time.
Reduced Registration Costs
Used vehicles usually carry a smaller price tag than their new counterparts, which will save you more money upfront. With a lower transaction price, you can also have lower registration fees in many states, so you’ll have to pay even less for a used vehicle.
More Variety
When you choose to buy a used vehicle, you will also have more vehicle options that you can afford. In other words, you can afford a more luxurious vehicle if you purchase one that’s a couple of years old since used models are less expensive than new, equally luxurious models.
