When you’re searching for a new car, don’t forget to also check your dealership for quality used cars as well. Many dealerships around the country are still experiencing shortages of new vehicles, which makes now a great time to buy a used or Certified Pre-Owned car, truck, or SUV. There are many benefits to buying used cars, especially used Mazdas, since Mazdas in particular have a high build quality and drive well for years. Read on for more reasons why buying a used car from Team Mazda is a good idea! more Save Money on a Lower-Priced Used Mazda Probably the most obvious benefit of a pre-owned car is its lower price when compared to new models. However, you’ll save on more than just the sticker price when buying used: Since your down-payment will make up a greater percentage of the car’s price, you’ll have lower monthly payments, and might even secure a better interest rate on your loan, saving thousands over the lifetime of the car. Cars that are valued less are also cheaper to insure and register, so you’ll save on those fees as well. Finally, used cars depreciate less than new cars: the bulk of a car’s depreciation occurs in the first three years of its service, so if you buy a car older than that, you’ll be able to trade it in or resell it for a much larger percentage of your purchase price than if you buy new. Achieve Peace of Mind with a Certified Pre-Owned Mazda Of course, historically one of the main concerns when buying a used car was its quality. However, modern cars are built better and are made to last longer, and with Certified Pre-Owned programs and vehicle history reports, your peace of mind can be even greater when purchasing a used model. Mazda’s Certified Pre-Owned program is second-to-none: to qualify, a used Mazda must pass a 160-point inspection by a factory-trained technician, and it comes with a 12-month/12,000-mile Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Limited Warranty, a 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty, zero deductible on covered repairs, and more. At Team Mazda, we also include a CARFAX® vehicle history report with many of our Certified Pre-Owned Mazda models, so you can be even more sure of their quality. Choose from a Greater Variety of Used Mazda Models While it may not be immediately obvious, there’s a greater variety of used cars than new cars, for any given model year. Each year, manufacturers only come out with so many new models, so if you limit your search to new cars, you only have that year’s models. However, by widening your search to used cars as well, you can find models that have been discontinued, or you can upgrade your trim on a car you love for the same price as a basic new model.
