Why Buy a Used Vehicle?

There are many benefits to buying a used vehicle, aside from the obvious sticker price. When you buy used, not only do you have a lower sticker price, but you also pay less on things like monthly payments, sales tax, and insurance premiums.

Another advantage has to do with options, features and trims. When you buy a new vehicle, the base model may potentially fit within your budget, but when you start adding option packages, you can expect the sticker price to increase by hundreds or even thousands of dollars. 

When you buy a higher end trim, it may not fall within your budget because the upper trim levels include a lot of options and features. A higher end trim in a used model may have a lower sticker price than a new base model.

Some of the reasons you buy a new vehicle is because of function, reliability, warranty, and performance, but at Maritime Chevrolet we offer some excellent used vehicles that also provide those things at a lower price. If you choose a vehicle that is within one-three model years old, there is a pretty good chance that you may have some of the original manufacturer warranties still intact, and if not you can check with our sales staff to see what warranties are offered in our pre-owned models.

What to Consider When Shopping for a Used Vehicle

When you're shopping for a used vehicle, you'll want to consider several aspects of the purchase. First, you'll want to think about what is most important to you. For some, price is the most important factor in the model they select. Other buyers are focused on getting the most value out of the used vehicle they choose. They may be looking for a higher end model than what they could afford brand new. You may want to make a list of the features and amenities that are necessary in your used vehicle. That way you can narrow down the options available.

You can look up online information about the vehicles you're considering. Not only will you find expert reviews on the model, but you also may be able to see what actual owners have to say. You'll find reports on retained value, cost of ownership, and safety for used vehicles. Use that information to narrow down your choices.

Once you have an idea about the vehicle you want, you can get a free CARFAX vehicle history report. This report tells you all about the vehicle. You can find out how many owners it had and whether the vehicle has been involved in any accidents. Use all this information to help you decide if this is a model you want to purchase.
