Why a Pre-Owned Honda Is Known for Long-Term Value

When buying a used car, the value you gain depends largely on how many years of good driving the car has left. This makes brands known for longevity perfect for used car purchases, and Honda is famous for building exceptionally long-lived vehicles. Let’s look in more detail at why a pre-owned Honda makes good sense for your next car.

Why a Pre-Owned Honda Is Known for Long-Term Value

Depreciation and Longevity Combined

All new cars depreciate rapidly, including Hondas. It’s a well-known fact that a new car depreciates five or ten percent the minute it leaves the lot, despite still being in pristine condition. This unreasonably rapid depreciation tends to continue for three to five years before leveling off. 

The result is fantastic discounts of 30 to 50 percent for the used car buyer. By combining this steep depreciation with the renowned longevity of a Honda, you’re making an excellent investment; Hondas typically last from 200,000 to 300,000 miles when well-maintained. 

Easy Verification of Quality and Condition

In the past, it was harder to know how diligently the previous owner had cared for a car. These days, however, it’s so much easier to ensure quality and condition with vehicle history reports, which thoroughly detail all the oil changes and other maintenance a car has had over the years. 

In addition to this, we take further steps to ensure quality with a rigorous multipoint test on each vehicle. Subpar cars simply don’t make it onto our lot. 

Greater Range of Vehicles To Choose From

Honda has one of the world’s most extensive lineups of different models. When shopping for Hondas, you have an incredible range of choices, especially when you consider all the trims and configurations possible with each model. 

Entering the used-Honda market further expands your range of choice, as you now have access to models from several years prior. This may include paused or discontinued Hondas. 

Extensive Access to Online Driver Reviews

Reading the experiences of other drivers helps some pre-owned car shoppers to make a buying decision. With used Hondas, you have more reviews and testimonials to browse through because pre-owned models have been on the road for longer. 

Significantly Lower Insurance Premiums 

A cherry on the cake with a used Honda is reduced insurance payments. Insurers tend to adjust their premiums to match the price for which the vehicle was bought. As you gained your Honda at a hefty discount, you’ll also now enjoy reduced ongoing premiums and therefore lower overall costs of car ownership.
