The Benefits of Buying a Used Car

We all know the feeling of witnessing a new car commercial. Seeing the rugged and vibrant vehicle wind through mountain roads or over sandy dunes really connects you to the new vehicle that’s being showcased.

Those commercials make you want the latest and greatest technology, but what about the price? If you want a newer car but you don’t want to break the bank, a used car is a great option. Explore the benefits of buying a used car with Atlantic Chevrolet today!

Benefits of Buying a Used Car With Atlantic Chevrolet

While we’re more than happy to get you behind the wheel of a new vehicle for your Huntington adventures, we understand that not everyone is interested in opting for a brand-new ride. Fortunately, our pre-owned vehicle selection is just as impressive and offers plenty of advantages as well. Here are some of the benefits of buying a used car with us:

Save Money

Used car prices average about 50% lower in cost than new cars. Used cars can be paid off faster than a new car, saving you more money in the long run. The usual vehicle cycle for consumers is about 6 years, so if you spend less money on a used car, you’ll be able to save more and get a nicer car in the future for your Smithtown commute.

Lower Rate of Depreciation

Many of us has heard the saying that “Your vehicle loses value as soon as you drive off the lot.” And unfortunately, it’s true, your new vehicle can depreciate as much as 11% just on your ride home from the dealership. With used vehicles, however, the bulk of the depreciation has already occurred, so your vehicle will maintain its value better than a new one might. 

Certified Pre-Owned

If you want the most recent bells and whistles, or as close as you can get, then buying a CPO vehicle may be a good fit for your needs. They are given an added layer of inspection, have been refurbished to like-new condition, and certified by the manufacturer to affirm their value. There are requirements for CPO vehicles as well with limits to mileage and age.

Warranties

If you buy a newer used model or a CPO model, you may still have access to the vehicle’s manufacturer warranties and be able to save even more money on maintenance and parts costs if anything comes up during your drives.

Lower Insurance Premium

An often overlooked aspect when you’re purchasing a vehicle is insurance costs. Insurance companies typically factor in the cost of a vehicle when deciding on insurance premiums. With a lower price on pre-owned vehicles, you can expect lower insurance costs as well.
