Buying a New Car Vs. Buying a Used Car

 

It’s the hard decision all prospective car buyers have to make: whether to buy a new car or a used one. If you’re finding your current vehicle is getting fixed at our service center often, it may be time to make a move. House Chevrolet in Owatonna, MN, has a wide selection of new and used cars, SUVs, and trucks to help your choice become a little easier. Buying a new vehicle or pre-owned each has its advantages, and we’ll examine them a little more closely to help you make the pick that’s right.

Why Purchase A New Vehicle At House Chevrolet

There are many valid reasons to buy a new car, including the peace of mind knowing it doesn’t have thousands of miles on it and normal wear that comes from daily driving. Our new inventory has the latest models that can match your particular needs. You can accommodate a large family with the roomy Chevy Tahoe, or handle all your hauling needs with the 2020 Colorado.

Let’s look a little further at some other reasons why it’s good to buy new:

• There are more enhancements in modern technology – The world in 2020 is at your fingertips, and car technology has come a long way, even in the last decade. Many new cars have enhanced safety features that are standard, giving drivers more confidence behind the wheel.

• New cars are more efficient. New vehicles, even the powerful trucks, and SUVs have better than average gas mileage and allows drivers to save money at the pump.

• New vehicles have options that weren’t available before. Customers now have options to decide between gas powered, diesel, hybrid, or even electric vehicles. More choices are now also available on different engine choices, trims, and special edition models.

• Today’s cars are built for the long haul. A vehicle that went over the 100,00 mile mark in the past was an incredible feat. Today, we rarely give it a second thought. Constant testing, improved technology, and better engineering have made newer cars last longer than ever before.

Why Purchase A New Vehicle At House Chevrolet

The first benefit of buying a pre-owned vehicle is that it is priced lower than buying new. Buying a used car doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing quality, and we have plenty of options to consider here at House Chevrolet in Owatonna, MN. Let’s look at some other benefits.

• Pre-owned vehicle depreciation is much slower than new ones. New cars are great, but their value diminishes quickly after your purchase. Conversely, used cars have depreciated and the initial wave is gone once you are ready to buy.

• Used cars can offer some of the same perks, but at a lower price tag. Many times, a vehicle that is just a few years old can be thousands less than a new one, but can still have the same features you want like leather seats or advanced safety features.

• Certified pre-owned models add more buyer confidence. The days of worrying about purchasing a “lemon” are long gone. Certified pre-owned vehicles undergo a rigorous inspection by certified mechanics and often come with available warranties identical to a new car.

• Complete history reports are available for used cars. Relevant information about your potential purchase is available for disclosure anytime you want to buy a used car. This report includes detailed information about the car ownership and accident history.

• You don’t have to worry about mileage on a used car. Fretting about buying a car with some mileage is no longer a concern. We service Chevrolet vehicles at our service center with more than 100,000 miles and have more than ten years in age under its belt.

How To Decide Between New Or Used

Ultimately, the decision to buy new or used comes down to your budget, driving style, and needs for your daily life. Choosing to purchase new can come at a higher price tag, but you’ll have a reliable and efficient vehicle for years to come. On the other hand, you can’t go wrong with buying pre-owned in 2020 because of how many enhancements modern vehicles have made. Either way, our team from House Chevrolet can help you make the best decision for you.
