Shopping for a vehicle that’s efficient and affordable is the struggle many consumers face. Now more than ever, purchasing a used truck can provide some distinct advantages, some of which we’ll be exploring here today.
More for Your Money
We’re currently experiencing the fallout from a worldwide microchip shortage. This means that many manufacturers are limiting their yearly production quotas. This also means that certain features on the upper trim levels of some vehicles won’t be available. Buying a used truck that was manufactured before the 2020 model year will most likely have more features than a new truck.
Appreciating Depreciation
All vehicles, regardless of their make and model, go through a process called depreciation. This begins the moment they’re driven off the lot and continues each year. Some trucks, such as the Nissan Frontier, depreciate at a faster rate than other vehicles. This means you can take advantage of a diminished resale value.
Cheaper Premiums
One of the mandatory costs that come with any vehicle purchase is your monthly insurance premiums. Typically, if you purchase a brand-new vehicle and make a monthly payment, insurance companies require that you take out a full coverage policy. Used vehicles are cheaper to insure, and you’ll be paying less for insurance. There are other factors, such as your driving record and how often you drive, that will affect this, so talk with your provider.
Better Quality Than Ever Before
Because of the microchip shortage and its effects on production quotas, many dealerships are buying up used vehicles that are of the highest quality. If you’re someone who enjoys the benefits that new vehicles offer but are on a budget, taking advantage of a CPO (certified pre-owned) vehicle is one of the best options for you. While these vehicles are theoretically used, they were recently manufactured and have limited mileage. They also undergo a thorough inspection before going on the market and are backed by manufacturer warranties for more peace of mind than ever before. Buying used has never been more advantageous as it is right now.
