When you’re in the market for a new-to-you car, you may be wondering whether the benefits of pre-owned cars in Houston, TX outweigh the benefits of buying new. Here at Russell & Smith Mazda, our friendly Mazda dealers will tell you that the new versus pre-owned decision will be highly dependent on a variety of different factors and that the right decision will vary from person to person. Here are some of the benefits of purchasing a pre-owned car.
Lower Expenses
The primary reason the majority of drivers choose to purchase pre-owned rather than new is the lower cost. The lower price tag of pre-owned cars makes them a great option for new drivers and those on a budget. It can also give you the opportunity to upgrade to a higher trim level.
Less Depreciation
When you purchase a new car, it will undergo a process known as depreciation, which is the gradual loss in value of an asset. While pre-owned cars also undergo depreciation, the phenomenon is more extreme during the first few years of ownership. Thus, purchasing a pre-owned Mazda car allows you to avoid most of the depreciation that occurs.
MAZDA Certified Pre-Owned Assurance
Our dealership takes pride in offering a wide selection of Mazda Certified Pre-Owned options. To become a part of this program, each vehicle must be a low-mileage late-model vehicle that undergoes a rigorous inspection process.
