Learn The Benefits of Buying Pre-Owned

Buying a used Chevy is one of the best financial decisions you can make shopping for a car. Though buying used is generally a little more involved than buying new, there are many advantages that make the extra effort worth it — advantages that go beyond just the lower price, especially if you buy from a reputable brand like Chevrolet.

It’s more affordable in many ways

Savings are paramount when you’re working on the farm or putting your kids through college, and purchasing used can save you a lot of money. Because the sticker price is lower on a used car, the total amount you’ll owe in interest during your loan term will likely be lower too. Additionally, registration fees, auto insurance rates, and taxes may all lower as well. Overall, it should be much easier to fit used car payments into your monthly budget without having to take out a loan with an excessively long term.

It helps you avoid depreciation

One of the biggest disadvantages of buying any new vehicle is the depreciation hit. As soon as you drive a new vehicle off the dealership lot, its value starts to decrease. That value generally drops more quickly at first and then slows down over the years, meaning that a car normally depreciates most with its first owner. By buying used, you can drive off with a lower-priced vehicle that has already experienced the lion’s share of its depreciation, and that will thus better hold its value over time. In other words, when you get back into the car market down the line and go to sell your car, you can get more of your money back than if you had bought new.

It gives you more options

When you buy new, you are limited to the latest model year of vehicles. You won’t have access to any older models that have features or styling you like. Buying used gives you a lot more options because those options are not limited by model year, but rather based solely on your budget and what you can find. Additionally, buying used gives you the ability to purchase a vehicle that, when new, might not have been in your budget. For example, instead of buying the lowest Silverado 1500 trim level, you could buy an older Silverado 1500 High Country, getting you more luxury features at a lower price. At Wilson Chevrolet in Stillwater, Oklahoma, you’ll find our used car inventory has something for everyone.

It comes with peace of mind

Buying used is great, but buying a used Chevrolet is even better. That’s because Chevy is one of the top-rated brands in the industry for reliability and dependability, giving you more peace of mind that your used vehicle will last for a long time to come. In fact, Chevy has received several 5-Star Safety Ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for providing plenty of protection in collision situations.

The CPO program is available

If you’re concerned about the quality of used vehicles, you can pay slightly more — but still less than if you were buying new — for a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet. Certified models come with a number of perks that help give you the confidence that it was in good hands before you take ownership. Every Chevrolet CPO vehicle on our lot has no more than 75,000 vehicle miles, has a clean title and Vehicle History Report, and has gone through a thorough inspection and reconditioning process. Additionally, when you purchase a Chevrolet CPO vehicle, you get more long-term assurance with two factory-backed warranties and a Scheduled Maintenance Program. It’s simply the best way to buy used.
