Perks of Buying a Used Vehicle

Wahoo! After months (or possibly even a year) of scraping by with your old car, you've finally decided to bite the bullet and actually begin your search for a new vehicle at the Lake of the Ozarks. Now it's time to make one very crucial decision:

Do you buy a used or a new vehicle?

The good news is, there really isn't a right or wrong answer to this question. Buying a used car has its advantages, as does buying a new one. The perks to buying a new car are pretty self-explanatory - you can be confident that everything is in good working order when you purchase it, you'll never have to wonder if it was maintained well in the past, and the fact that it has zero miles on it mean that it will probably last you for a long, long time - but did you know that purchasing a used car has several equally great perks? Buying a pre-owned vehicle allows you to save money at every turn, without sacrificing any quality.

Beat Depreciation
It's common knowledge that a car's value decreases as soon as it is purchased (and therefore becomes "used"), but did you know that its value can drop as much as 20%? The minute you drive a new car off the lot, you've just waved goodbye to a few thousand dollars that you will never see again. The amount of money you'll spend on a used vehicle, on the other hand, is much more comparable to the amount you'll likely be able to get back if/when you eventually sell it.

Spend Less
Purchasing a pre-owned vehicle protects your investment by beating depreciation, but it also saves you money up front. By not paying for the luxury of owning a brand new vehicle, you're saving hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars. By buying used, the amount of money you'll spend on your new vehicle will be much closer to the actual value of the vehicle.

Save Money
The opportunities for saving don't stop there! Buying a used vehicle not only protects you from depreciation and spending extra up front - it will save you money even after the car is officially in your name. Insurance and registration fees are always lower for pre-owned vehicles than they are for new ones. The paperwork fees involved in the purchase of a used vehicle are also much lower than those required for buying new.



Enjoy The Same Great Vehicle - For Fewer $$$ 
When it comes to buying a car at the Lake of the Ozarks, spending fewer dollars does not mean sacrificing any quality. Time and time again, used vehicles have proven to be incredibly reliable. With proper care and maintenance, a used vehicle can last you just as long as any new vehicle would.
