If you’re looking to buy used, a pre-owned Ford is going to be a great choice. Fords are popular and reliable vehicles, easy to maintain, with plenty of parts available on the market. You really maximize value when you go for a used Ford.
Maximizing Value: The Benefits of Choosing a Pre-owned Ford
Someone Else Absorbs Depreciation
When you drive your brand-new car off the lot, it loses a huge amount of its value instantly. It will continue to lose value at an accelerated rate for the next two years. After that, depreciation slows enormously.
If you buy a vehicle that’s two or three years old, you’ve let somebody else deal with that huge financial hit. What you are left with is a vehicle that still has lots of miles and life left on it but will retain its resale value much better than a new vehicle. That makes it a better investment.
Lots of Options
Because Ford is such a popular brand in the United States, you have options when you look at used Fords. Search for just the color you want, exactly the safety tech and other options you prefer, and access all the available trim levels. You can even get picky about year of manufacture and choose among several models that might all work for you.
Save Money in Every Direction
Obviously, one of the reasons to buy a used vehicle is because it costs less than a new one. But it’s not just the price of the vehicle itself. You also save money in a couple of other directions.
For one, taxes are based on the total cost of a vehicle, so a lower cost vehicle means less tax. For another, insurance rates are commonly less for used vehicles than brand-new ones. And finally, when you go with Ford, you’re going with a brand that has been around for so long and has so many vehicles on the road that parts are exceptionally easy to source at reasonable prices.
More Goodies for Less Money
When you buy used, you can often afford to get some of those goodies that you could not afford if you were buying a new vehicle. Maybe it’s a special kind of trailering tech. Maybe it’s leather seats or a heated steering wheel. Maybe it’s dual zone climate control, and maybe it’s extra safety tech: whatever it is, if you can’t afford it new but want to have it, take a look at your options among used vehicles.
