Stable Depreciation Rates

When a new car, truck or SUV rolls off of a dealership’s lot, its resale or trade-in value drops significantly – in the neighbourhood of 30-plus percent. By and large, a well-maintained pre-owned vehicle has a depreciation rate of around five to 10 percent. Those numbers will be significant when it’s time to find something new or new-to-you.

Lower Insurance Costs

When someone buys a new car, they often carry a loan. With any financing, the bank or other lender will require full (or comprehensive) insurance coverage for at least the life of the loan. While this will also be true of a used vehicle loan, the cost to insure it will be much more affordable.

More Affordable Purchase Price

We saved the most obvious point for last. Pre-owned vehicles have a lower upfront cost than the same make and model for the current model year. In addition to having a lower sticker price, the buyer will also borrow less money to take it home. That means more affordable monthly payments and more money in your pocket each month.
