When you buy a new vehicle, you can expect to pay costly new vehicle prices. If you want certain options, option packages, or accessories, you should also plan on paying extra, over and above the sticker price. With a used vehicle, you can find the model that is everything you need with the extra features you want. The sticker price already includes those options you would have paid extra for, had you purchased the vehicle new. Another good reason to purchase a used vehicle is higher end trims that might have been out of your budget if you decided to buy it new may now fall within your budget because it is used.
Value depreciation is another factor to consider. When you buy a new vehicle, you can expect to see the value of the vehicle drop very quickly; as much as 10% within the first month of ownership, and as much as 35% within the first year of ownership. Finally, when you buy new, you can also expect higher monthly payments with a loan, higher sales taxes, and higher insurance premiums. When you buy used, all these costs are lower because your initial price is lower.
If you are at all concerned about a used vehicle’s reliability, you have options. Ford’s CPO vehicles must have specific criteria to be considered as CPO:
With a CPO vehicle, you can have more peace-of-mind with your used vehicle purchase. If that’s not enough, you can also look at the warranties we offer for your used vehicle purchase.
If you are ready to purchase a pre-owned vehicle, first of all, be sure to check the pre-owned specials to see if we have the vehicle you want on our specials. If not and you can wait, be sure to check back as our used vehicle specials change often.
