Should you buy a pre-owned vehicle?

New cars and trucks are great. They come loaded with all the latest bells and whistles and have that new car smell. But buying new isn’t always the best option. There are many reasons why buying a pre-owned vehicle might be the better choice for you.

Save Money

The first and most obvious reason to buy a pre-owned vehicle is price. They just cost less than new cars, trucks and SUVs, so you’ll save money right off. You’ll also likely pay less in tax, insurance, and registration costs. Plus, at Southbank Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, our low-price guarantee, based on real-time market data, means that you’ll get a great price and value.

Avoid Depreciation

Let’s face it, with very few exceptions, cars and trucks don’t go up in value with age. Vehicles lose value when they’re no longer new, dropping quickly in just a few years. Plus, the more mileage you put on them, the lower the value goes. With vehicles generally lasting longer these days, you can find an excellent pre-owned car or truck that won’t cost you a lot of money just driving it off the lot.
