The Advantages of Buying A Pre-owned Car

Author: Adney Smith

When it comes to pre-owned cars, Perth drivers often think that this means buying a rusty old banger. However, this is not the case and with a visit to a quality used car dealership Perth consumers may be pleasantly surprised at the available selection. While brand new cars are very tempting, there are some very distinct advantages associated with buying a pre-owned car.

More Attractive Pricing:

One of the most important advantages of buying pre-owned cars, Perth drivers will find is the price. Although there are some fantastic deals on brand new cars available, the pre-owned market is more subject to supply and demand. This means that since there are more vehicles to choose from, the price is much more flexible. Even nearly new pre-owned vehicles can be had for significant savings on their brand new equivalent. Of course, you need to do your research and be wary of a deal which seems too good to be true. If you are unsure about the pricing either from a private sale or at a used car dealership, you should check the Red Book valuation for the year and model.

Affordable Access to More Features:

While your budget may only just stretch to a base model brand new vehicle, you could find that by choosing a pre-owned model, you could gain access to more features on a higher spec model. Even highly desirable models can become a whole lot more affordable, once they have already had a previous owner. In many cases, fleet buyers will choose higher spec models and only keep them for a year or two. This means that the local market will be flooded with more luxury models packed with features and available at a significant discount.

Reliable Options Are Available:

The main reason why many people are wary of buying a used car, is that they are concerned that the vehicle may not be reliable and you may be stuck with an unexpected repair bill. While you may need to do some savvy shopping with a reputable dealer, it is very possible to get access to a reliable vehicle, which may even have some manufacturer warranty still in place. In many cases, such as with Honda vehicles, you may even have access to Honda Capped Price Servicing. This means that you can properly budget for keeping your car in tip top condition. You may even find that some dealerships offer extended warranties, servicing and other financial incentives when you buy a pre-owned vehicle. The reason for this is that the dealership is likely to need to clear their existing stock to make room for new models and trade ins.
