Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Used Car Instead of New

Many buyers want the bells and whistles of a new car. However, used cars for sale have many perks in their own right, making them a compelling proposition for the discerning buyer. We're sharing 10 reasons to buy a used car at MileOne Autogroup.  

They're More Affordable  

Affordability is one of the greatest perks of used cars. There are used cars to suit almost any budget. In fact, we even carry models under $10,000.  

There are Fewer, and Lower, Added Costs 

When your vehicle costs less, your fees are generally lower too. Sales tax, for example, will be less. It's usually cheaper to register a used car too.  

Insurance Is More Affordable 

Many factors affect your insurance cost, including your driving record. However, typically, insurance premiums are more affordable for used cars.  

You Avoid Depreciation  

Generally, car values drop about 20 percent in the first year alone. However, the curve isn't nearly as steep in subsequent years. So, you can avoid the most significant drop in depreciation by buying a used vehicle.  

The Resale Value is Better 

With a lower depreciation rate, used vehicles hold their value better. That translates to a better car trade-in value for you.  

You Have More Options  

When you're sticking to a budget, new vehicle options can feel limited. Since used cars cost less and because our dealerships' inventories are so diverse, you'll have more to choose from, and you're more likely to get your must-have features.  

You Can Get Premium Amenities For Less 

It's also easier to find a vehicle with everything you want. You can opt for a higher trim when considering a used model, which often has better features and amenities.  

They're Easier to Upfit 

Many drivers want to customize or upfit their vehicle or add genuine accessories. With a cheaper model, you have the flexibility to get all your favorite add-ons.  

You Get Peace of Mind  

You don't have to guess if a used vehicle is reliable. With vehicle history reports, you can see how the car was used, its service, and its accident history. This is a big perk of Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, which are meticulously inspected and reconditioned for added peace of mind.  

There Are More Reviews Available  

You also don't have to guess how it will hold up. You can see what real drivers have to say about using used vehicles, as well as their reliability ratings and potential issues.
