Clearly, the biggest benefit to buying a used Ford , for example, is that it's cheaper than a new model. Even just going with a 2018 or 2019 model as opposed to a 2020 or 2021 can end up saving you a significant amount of money both in the long- and short-term. In addition to the overall cost being less expensive, your down payment doesn't have to be as high and your monthly payments can be smaller. Another advantage of going with a used vehicle is your selection. Our Ford dealership has many new Ford vehicles, but we also always have a big inventory of used cars, trucks, and SUVs in a variety of makes, models, and years.

The other option you have when buying a used car is going with a certified pre-owned model. If you go this route, you know you will be getting a quality Ford truck or car. This is because every vehicle undergoes a 172-point inspection before it can be put up for sale. Plus, the models are all fewer than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles on them. In addition, the CARFAX report is scrutinized to look for any potential red flags. On top of that, these vehicles come with comprehensive warranties so you know that if something goes wrong, it will be taken care of. With a certified pre-owned car, you will also get 24-hour roadside assistance.
