3 Advantages of buying a used car

When shopping for a vehicle, one of the first decisions you must make is whether you want to invest in a new or used car. Each choice has its advantages and disadvantages, and each appeals to a different group of drivers. For those of you who are still considering your options, here are some notable advantages of buying a used car.

1. More affordable

Since pre-owned vehicles have put on miles and incurred wear and tear, they are less expensive than new cars. This allows financially-conscious shoppers to save a few bucks and even opt for a higher trim level they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.

2. Lower insurance rates

The greatest vehicle depreciation in a car’s value happens during the first year of ownership. Not only do used car buyers avoid the biggest depreciation period, but they also get to take advantage of lower insurance rates due to lower value.

3. A greater selection

When you opt for a used car, you are not limited to only models that have been released in the last few years. Instead, you are able to choose from a wide selection of years, makes, and models. This is especially helpful for shoppers who want a model, part, or package that has been discontinued.
