Buying a Pre-Owned Vehicle
What are the benefits of buying a pre-owned vehicle? The main reason why people buy used over new is because of the lower cost. But there is much more to it than that. At Prieto Automotive, we welcome you to browse our used inventory so you can reap in the benefits of shopping pre-owned.
Lower Expenses
Yes, used vehicles are cheaper than new. That’s the basic idea, right? But do you know how great the difference is in costs? Buying a car that is two or three years older than the latest version of the exact same model could knock off about half the price. And say if you were to buy a 2017 model, just a couple years older than what’s on the market now, you will mostly likely still be able to enjoy modern technology like safety and convenience features.
Other than the vehicle itself being cheaper, used cars come with less fees compared to their newer counterparts. The cost of a new vehicle usually includes fees for shipping and preparation. At Prieto Automotive, we make sure our used vehicles have already gone through all of the necessary procedures to make things easier and cheaper for you.
You know what else will cost less? Your insurance and registration. Since used vehicles have already gone through most of its depreciation, insurance payments are lower because the amount to be covered isn’t nearly as much as a brand new car. And since registration fees are based off of the value of your car, pre-owned vehicles have lower bills.
