Benefits of Buying a Used Car
Buying a new or pre-owned car is a big deal, and you have to be sure you're making the right decision for you and your financial position. So, what are the benefits of buying a used car?
Less Expensive
The most obvious benefit of buying a used car rather than a new one is the amount of money you can save. The purchase price of a car that's a few years old will be thousands of dollars less than the equivalent new model. So, you'll save money straight away.
Lower Depreciation
When you buy a new vehicle, it begins depreciating the moment you drive away from the dealership, losing around 9%-11% immediately. After the first year, it'll be worth around 20% less than when you bought it. In subsequent years, its value will drop by about 15%-25%, so after five years it will have lost around 60% of its value.
When you buy a used car from us at Boardman Mitsubishi, you have the peace of mind that the original owner took the biggest depreciation hit. Furthermore, your pre-owned vehicle will hold more of its value, so you'll get a better return when it's time to trade it for another car.
Cheaper Ownership Costs
You'll likely get lower insurance premiums on a used car because, with its lower value, it'll be cheaper to replace than a new one in the unfortunate event that it's totaled or stolen. You may also find that registration of a used car is cheaper. If you take out financing on a new car, you could end up with negative equity if anything happens to it.
The Features You Want
Shopping for a new car may seem straightforward. You start with the sticker price, but when you start adding the features you want, the cost can soon escalate. With a used car, you can look at the vehicles that already have everything you need. Many later models will also have some of the latest desirable technology and safety features.
Why Buy a Used Car From a Dealership?
You might be able to get a used car for a lower price if you buy it privately, but it'll be sold as is. That means you have no recourse if anything goes wrong with the vehicle. By buying from a well-established and reputable dealership, such as Boardman Mitsubishi, you can be sure that we've inspected the vehicle and it will be in the best possible condition. Some of our used vehicles come with extensive warranty coverage, so if you have a problem, it can be rectified in our service center at no expense to you.
Certified Pre-Owned Mitsubishi
For even more peace of mind, you could choose one of our certified pre-owned (CPO) Mitsubishi vehicles. To qualify as a CPO vehicle, it must be less than 5 years old, have less than 60,000 miles, and have a clean vehicle history report. It must also pass an intensive 123-point inspection.
You'll get a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, the remainder of the vehicle's five-year or 60,000-mile basic warranty, and a seven-year or 100,000-mile anti-corrosion or perforation warranty. Buying a certified used car from us at Boardman Mitsubishi is the closest thing to buying a new car but at great value.
