Buying Used Cars Makes Great Economic Sense

By: Art Gib

In today's tight economy, people are trying to save precious funds every way they can. Since people still need to drive, many are making the wise decision to choose to purchase used vehicles. Here are some great reasons why you should too.

-- Have you always wanted to own a model of automobile that offers a little more luxury and performance? If you buy a preowned car, you may be able to find just what you are looking for while still remaining within a reasonable budget.

Purchasing a car that's just one year old may save you 20-30% over a brand new one. Why? Because a new car depreciates considerably the minute it rolls off the lot. Also, the feels dealers have to pay when dealing with new cars are passed on to the consumer. With a used car: no extra fees!

-- Because so many people opted to lease new cars in the last five years or so, all of those leases are expiring and the market is saturated with used cars that are relatively new and in excellent condition. There are definitely great vehicles out there for the taking at greatly reduced prices.

-- Some used cars, particularly those that were in leasing situations, are still covered under factory warranties! This makes purchasing such a vehicle particularly attractive, because if anything goes wrong, repairs may be covered. If you are buying from a reputable dealership, they will most likely also offer warranties to used car purchasers for extra protection.

-- Not only do dealerships offer warranties, they most likely are offering certified preowned vehicles. Certification means that the chassis and engine have passed inspections meant to ensure that the consumer is getting a good car. Because of this and other factors, more used cars are in much better and reliable condition than they've ever been.

-- Now that cars have VIN numbers, it's very easy to track their histories using a title search. Every buyer should do his own title search whether he's buying from a dealership or a private party. Not only will you be saving money, but you will also have an easy way to compare the histories of several different cars you may be considering.

-- Interest rates have lowered so much in recent years, meaning that virtually any car buyer, whether they choose new or preowned, is likely to get a fantastic deal. If you choose used, of course, you will save even more. Many people nowadays are suffering with less than stellar or even rotten credit ratings. Many used car dealerships that offer their own financing plans are willing to work with consumers who may not be able to obtain a loan through any other means.

Happy motoring!
