Benefits of Choosing a Used Car

Smart vehicle shoppers know that choosing pre-owned is the fastest way to get more performance, higher trim levels, and advanced technology for your money. When you buy pre-owned, your investment works significantly harder for you:

  • Bypass Steep Early Depreciation: New vehicles take their sharpest valuation drop within the first two years, meaning you pocket that value rather than absorbing it.
  • Access Higher-Tier Features: You can easily step into premium audio systems, leather seating, and advanced safety packages that might sit outside your budget on a brand-new model.
  • Lower Insurance and Registration Costs: Pre-owned vehicles carry reduced replacement values, translating directly into leaner monthly insurance premiums and lower state registration fees.

According to Edmunds, purchasing a late-model used vehicle remains the most cost-effective path to vehicle ownership, as it allows drivers to avoid the steep 40% to 60% initial depreciation hit while securing significantly lower out-of-pocket ownership costs over time*.

FAQs

What should I look for during a used car test drive?

Pay attention to how the vehicle starts from a cold engine, the smoothness of transmission shifts, and whether the brakes feel firm without pulling or vibrating. Test all interior electronics—including the air conditioning, touchscreen, windows, and driver-assistance features—across both low-speed city roads and highway passing speeds.

How do I know if a used car has been in an accident?

You should review the vehicle's CARFAX® report for recorded structural damage, airbag deployments, or collision repair records. In person, look for uneven gaps between body panels, paint overspray near edges, or mismatched hardware under the hood.

What mileage is considered good for a pre-owned vehicle?

Average annual driving is roughly 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year. Rather than looking solely at the odometer number, focus on documented service history—a higher-mileage car with regular oil changes and major milestone services completed is often more reliable than a neglected low-mileage vehicle.
