Buying a Used Car FAQ

What Are the Pros of Buying a Used Car?

Maybe you’re buying a used vehicle simply because the vehicle you like happens to be used, but there are other pros as well. The most obvious benefit is that a used vehicle is often less expensive than a brand new one. You’ll also be able to get behind the wheel of vehicles that are no longer currently on the market, such as discontinued models.

There’s also the matter of depreciation. Depreciation is the loss of value a new car experiences when it leaves the lot, but, with a used car, most of the depreciation has already occurred. That means, a used car is more likely to retain its value than a new model.

    What Are My Financing Options for a Used Car?

    Now that you’ve picked out the best used model for you and your family, it’s time to start thinking of how you want to finance it.

    Some, but not all, dealers will allow you to lease a used car, and if you think that’s the correct option for you, feel free to give us a call and we can chat about it. There’s also traditional financing through a loan and we can help you with that as well.

    If you’d like to get the process started from the comfort of your own home, you can use our convenient and encrypted finance application.

      What Should I Do With My Current Car?

      While you’re more than welcome to keep your current vehicle, if you decide you don’t need it, you have a couple options. You can sell your car yourself, whether to a dealership or privately through an online marketplace.

      Or, if you like, you can trade in your car with us. What this means is that you’ll likely get a higher value put toward your next vehicle than simply selling it. We can take over the rest from there and save you the time and effort of selling it yourself.

      Let us do all the work of advertising and getting in touch with potential buyers while you drive off in your new-to-you ride.
