Buying a brand new car is the dream of many people. As alluring as new cars may be, they cost considerably more than pre-owned cars in Oak Lawn. According to the industry bible, Kelley Blue Book, the average price of a new car is over $33 thousand while the average price of a pr-owned car is just in $20 thousand.
Of course there are many good reasons to buy a new car, at the same time there are equally compelling reasons to buy a pre-owned car. Not old junkers by the way, lightly used vehicles with about 50,000 miles on them.
Let’s have a look at why buying a pre-owned car makes good sense:
Save money:
Buying a quality pre-owned car will save you many thousands of dollars. The reason is quite simple; new cars depreciate rapidly. The moment you take the keys to your new car, it is now a used car. On average, three years after you first bought your new car it is worth just a little over half of what you paid three years ago.
Reliability:
Perhaps pre-owned cars in Oak Lawn were not a good deal in the 70s but cars built in the last decade are far better and last far longer. Modern cars are simply built to last, you can take advantage of this and get a very good pre-owned car and save a great deal of money.
Certified pre-owned programs:
Leasing is becoming popular for people who might otherwise buy a new car. Most leases last three years and the lease contain restrictions that make it a highly desirable pre-owned car. The majority of lease programs dictate the number of miles that can be driven, the maintenance schedule that must be adhered to and overall condition at the end of the lease. Off lease cars make up the bulk of certified pre-owned cars in Oak Lawn.
It may be true that buying a pre-owned car is a little riskier than buying a new car but for many people the reliability and savings are too good to turn down.
High value, low mileage, reliable pre-owned cars in Oak Lawn have a number of advantages. If you are looking for a pre-owned car or light truck you are invited to visit Hawk Ford Oak Lawn.
