Modern Ford vehicles are remarkably reliable, with excellent longevity. This makes purchasing a used Ford a perfect option for many budget-conscious car buyers. Let’s take a closer look at the many fine benefits of opting for a pre-owned Ford vehicle rather than forking out for a new one.
Skip the First Year or Two of Depreciating Value
It’s a well-known fact that the market value of new cars depreciates rapidly after the initial purchase. New cars tend to lose 15% or 20% of their value as soon as they’re driven off the lot. The first year of ownership then typically sees another 10% reduction in resale value.
So when you buy a used car, you can skip this initial 30% depreciation in resale value. Many pre-owned Ford cars are in like-new condition with relatively few miles on the clock. You effectively gain a car that looks and performs wonderfully, with a very long lifespan ahead of it, at a 30% or even greater discount.
Bring Higher-End Vehicles Within Your Budget
All car buyers have a given budget depending on their financial circumstances. When you’re purchasing a used vehicle, you can often stretch your budget to obtain a higher-end car or trim than you could otherwise afford. Rather than buying the very latest model, you might instead get the model from a year or two prior instead.
Save Money on the Cost of Car Insurance
Car insurance tends to be cheaper when the vehicle’s value is lower. Therefore, with a pre-owned Ford, you might make a hefty savings on monthly or yearly insurance costs. This can significantly lessen the overall upkeep costs of owning your car.
Ensure Quality With Vehicle History Reports
Gone are the days when you were taking a huge risk when purchasing a used car. These days, pre-owned vehicles usually come with easily accessible and very detailed history reports on maintenance and repairs, so you can rest assured with regards to the condition of your car. Reputable services such as CARFAX or AutoCheck can usually provide a reliable vehicle history report.
Find Further Reassurance With a Ford Certified Pre-Owned Warranty
Further peace of mind can sometimes be gained from a car with Ford Certified Pre-Owned Extended Warranty Coverage. Here, Ford technicians have carried out an in-depth multi-point vehicle inspection to make sure the car is in excellent condition. You can ask about the details of Ford’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty and additional benefits at your local dealership.
