Why Buy Used from Grogan's Towne CDJR

The primary reason shoppers purchase a used car is that they are frequently more affordable than new cars. A great example of this is that a similar amount of money you can use to buy an entry-level trim of the vehicle you want could be used to buy the same car used at a higher trim level, getting you more features at a better price. Another benefit is the plethora of information you can learn about a vehicle online. For instance, when you're shopping for a brand new car, you may only be able to find expert reviews about the car as not many people own them yet. But when you buy a used car, the amount of information you can learn is seemingly endless. For example, suppose you have a specific question about a vehicle. In that case, chances are that question has already been answered in a forum dedicated to that vehicle, giving you information from an actual owner who drives the car every day. The last benefit, but possibly the most prominent one, is the depreciation of new vehicles. New vehicles depreciate roughly 20% by the first year of ownership and 40% by the third year. However, as long as a car is well maintained, it will hold its value longer when purchased used.

When you shop for a used vehicle, there are two primary ways to shop; from a dealership or a private seller. Private sales involve a significant time commitment and a bit of risk. When shopping for a private sale, you can spend hours or even days scouring the internet for the car you're looking for at the price you need. And even if you find it, its condition might not live up to the expectations that the seller creates. On the other hand, when you shop from a reputable dealership like Grogan's Towne CDJR, you will find an array of used vehicles all in one place. Additionally, you get the confidence that all used cars on our lot have been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and serviced to ensure they are in good condition before being sold.

Now that we've discussed why you should buy a used car, it's time to discuss how to do it. The first step to finding the right used car is establishing a budget. Look at your monthly finances to see where a car payment can fit in. We recommend getting pre-approved for financing as a part of this process. Getting pre-approved will help you narrow your focus to a selection of cars within that budget. Next, determine what you will be using the vehicle for. Look at how often you drive, how far you drive, how many passengers you may need to carry regularly, and how much cargo you might need to bring along. This will help you establish the kind of car you need. Then, it's all about finding the right make and model. To do this, it's essential to take a test drive to make sure you like the car enough to drive every day. Some things to pay attention to on the test drive are acceleration, handling, and braking. You should also test out all of the vehicle's instruments and ensure the controls are within easy reach. Following these steps will help you feel confident that you're getting the right car at the right price.
