It can be fun to drive a brand-new car, truck or SUV to your home in Sidney, MT, and there are some extra-large advantages in buying a vehicle with an odometer that's just getting started. But there are some other significant benefits, financial and otherwise, when you buy a good used or nearly-new car at Action Auto Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Sidney, MT. Let's compare the advantages of both options.
Advantages of a new car, truck or SUV
Yes, there's a big emotional boost when you drive a brand-new car home and start showing it off. And while there can be some obvious financial strains when you pay the price of a new car, there are some financial benefits. The big thing is, your monthly costs become more predictable. With a vehicle like a shiny new Ram 1500 pickup, your monthly payment is fixed for years: most commonly, 60 months (5 years) up to 84 months (7 years).
Another stabilizing factor is that you aren't likely to have big, unexpected repair bills, and that continues for years as well. That's true not only because it's a new car, but because most major and even minor repairs are covered by your new vehicle warranty. Yes, the monthly payment is higher than financing a used car, but once you get used to it, you'll enjoy no more surprises. And the extra self-discipline you develop is another nice benefit.
Advantages of used vehicles
Did you know that only about 23% of millionaires drive a new car? The other 77% drive used cars. Why? Partly because of the inherent value in a used car. The biggest depreciation a car will have occurs right after you buy it. So when you buy a nearly-new car, say, within the first two years of its life, you're probably getting many of the same advanced features brand-new cars have, and you're getting them at a deeply discounted pre-owned price.
Used luxury vehicles, like a pre-owned Chrysler 300, can be an exceptional value because carmakers often put their most desirable features on luxury vehicles. So a used version gives you those upscale components for less than a new car. Buying an upscale used car, truck or SUV, like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, can allow you to get that nice SUV you wanted without having to drive a more basic new model back to your home in Riverview or Lambert, MT.
