Is Buying Used Really Sensible?

There are definite advantages to buying a used vehicle, but most people often don’t consider the advantages of buying a used vehicle beyond the price. However, there are several reasons that make buying a used vehicle a sensible choice. One thing that most people don’t think about is depreciation. When you buy a new vehicle, it depreciates in value very quickly. Within the first month of ownership its value can drop by as much as 10%. Within the first year of ownership the value can fall by 30-35%. Buying used means a good portion of its value has already dropped, and that means the value will depreciate much slower in a used vehicle. Other considerations are:

• Higher end trims that were out of budget if purchased new, may now fit better within your budget because the vehicle is used.
• Lower monthly payments, because the principal is also lower.
• It may be easier to get financing for a used vehicle over a brand new one.
• Because value is lower, so is sales tax.
• Because the value is lower, so is your insurance premium.
• With a used vehicle there is often more flexible, shorter loan terms.
• If you can get a pre-owned vehicle that is only 1-3 years old, they can still have the original warranties intact.

If you are still not convinced that buying a pre-owned is sensible, you’ll have more peace of mind with Ford CPO vehicles because of the criteria associated with Ford vehicles:
