3 Advantages of Buying a Preowned Car Instead of New

Nowadays, car buyers are confronted with countless options. What brand should you choose? What size? What features? But one of the most important decisions you make is whether you buy a new or preowned car. Here at Twins Auto of Dublin, we believe that used vehicles offer countless benefits, including a lower price and a reduced environmental impact.

1. Everything Is Cheaper 

It goes without saying that buying a pre-owned vehicle is much cheaper than buying a new one because you get to skip the cost of depreciation. Depending on the make and model, you can save 50% or more, and you still receive a highly reliable car that will keep going for many years to come. Even if you buy your car on finance, you’ll save a lot of money. The average new car payment is $644, but for a used car, you might only pay $488. 
The financial benefits of buying a pre-owned vehicle don’t stop there. Often, maintenance costs are lower, too, because there are fewer high-tech features, and the parts are already readily available. It can also be cheaper to insure a used vehicle because it isn’t as valuable, so replacing it wouldn’t cost the insurance company as much as replacing a new car.

2. You Can Test Drive Your Car and Take It Home Immediately 

When you order a new car from the dealership, you can configure it to meet your unique needs. However, this means that you won’t actually be able to test drive the exact car you’ll receive. Instead, you’ll try out a model that is similar but not quite the same. In contrast, you’ll be able to drive your used vehicle before you buy it. This allows you to determine more accurately whether it is the right choice for you.

Another advantage of buying a car that is already at the dealership is that you will take it home as soon as you buy it. You won’t have to wait for it to be assembled and delivered. As a result, you can enjoy your car much faster, and you won’t have to make alternate arrangements for several weeks while you wait.

3. Better for Your Family and the Environment 

Most modern used cars are just as safe as new ones, so you’re not sacrificing quality for a lower price. In fact, your family will be better off with a pre-owned vehicle because you won’t have to worry about your financial situation. 
What’s more, buying used is a great way of reducing the environmental impact of driving. The resources used during the car manufacturing process are astronomical, and by using an existing car instead of buying a new one, you can save a large amount of water and greenhouse gases. 

Buying a used car is a good option for almost everyone because you can access your car more quickly, you save a lot of money, and it’s better for the environment. Get in touch with us at Twins Auto of Dublin to find out more about our range of pre-owned vehicles.
