Are you looking into buying a new vehicle but can’t decide between new or pre-owned?
A vehicle is a big purchase. We at Route 77 Motors realize the average buyer is looking for a safe and worthy investment. But when considering a vehicle purchase as an investment there are some things to look for. Will this vehicle retain value? Will I be able to make this vehicle last for its’ needed life? And these are valid questions. Here are 5 reasons a used vehicle is the investment you are looking for.
1: Certified and Inspected
Tools and resources like CarFax help shoppers of pre-owned vehicles get the full history of their purchase. We especially like to go in-depth with our inspections and make sure we can stand behind any vehicle in our lot.
2: Fee Costs are Lower
There are several fees associated with purchasing and registering any vehicle. New vehicles tend to have higher fees associated with insurance, vehicle registration, and the like. Depending on what vehicle, the cost of insurance between the same vehicle and different years could be a few hundred dollars! Choosing a certified used or pre-owned vehicle is a great way to lower the price of your annual and monthly bills.
3: Vehicle Support Forums and Communities
New vehicles have excitement, and new forums and blog posts pop up as they come out. For example, a great place to look at reviews new or old is Car and Driver, their reviews of new vehicles are detailed and very informative. But, given the nature of a new vehicle, there is a limit on what you can experience if you are reviewing a vehicle that came out this month or even this year. On the contrary, many older vehicles have online followings and can lead to a deeper appreciation for your vehicle. Like Tacoma World, where you can deep dive into your model of Toyota Tacoma. There are also social media communities on Facebook and Instagram for photography, meet-ups, and FAQs!
4: Less Vehicle Depreciation
New vehicles are given robust warranties and low financing because they never know which one will be the lemon! But, with used vehicles, the bulk of the vehicle’s depreciation has already happened and the value that you buy the vehicle at is the value it remains after it drives off the lot. All new vehicles have a different rate of depreciation, but certain models of new vehicles driving off the lot can depreciate upward of 50%!
5: Variety
Options are limited when you look at new model vehicles. They are sleek and have new and improved ergonomic features, but what you may have to compromise on between new models could be requirements for a used vehicle search! Looking for a new vehicle is an opportunity to list your needs and wants, and finding the right vehicle for your needs is the difference between a great ride and just a drive.
There is no better time than now to purchase that new certified used vehicle you have been thinking about. Route 77 Motors encourages you to come in and check out these two new additions to our selection. On Route 77 in Weare, NH just outside of Concord we have a variety of used and certified preowned vehicles!
