Why Buy Used from Northland CDJR

The list of benefits of buying used is extensive but allow us to narrow it down to a handful of the most important ones. The first and most likely the best benefit is that used cars depreciate much slower than new cars. New cars lose roughly 20% of their value in the first year of ownership and 40% after three years. This depreciation is out of the way when you buy used, meaning the car will hold its value provided it is properly maintained. The next benefit is a fan favorite. When you buy used, the same money used to purchase the base model of a new car can be used to buy a mid to high-level trim. And it’s known that the higher the trim level, the more features you get. And who doesn’t want more features? Next, when shopping for a used car, you want to do research. And while there’s lots of information from experts and automakers about new vehicles, when researching used cars, you can read reviews from real drivers who own the exact model you’re interested in, giving you first-hand, honest insight about the vehicle. Professional reviews also back up this information. All of this information is at your fingertips with a quick online search.

Buying used from a reputable dealership gives you the confidence of knowing that the car has been in good hands. The car’s history may seem hazy with private sales, and there is often more risk while buying from a car’s previous owner. When you buy from a dealership, you can get a full vehicle history report upon request to see how many times the keys have changed hands, any reported accidents, service records, and more. Additionally, used cars at a dealership are thoroughly detailed, and all services are updated, ensuring you get that new car feel while going easy on your wallet. Also, when you buy from a dealership like Northland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, you’ll find a vast selection of quality used cars all in one place without spending hours online.

Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, or CPOV, offer the same benefits of buying new without breaking the bank. Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram CPOV come with a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty. This covers all maintenance and normal wear and tear repairs with only a low deductible due. Also, the odometers on all CPOV must read less than 75,000 miles and have a clean title and an operational key or key fob. Additionally, you get the confidence of knowing that your CPOV has passed a 125-point inspection where a factory-trained mechanic inspects the vehicle, repairs any wear and tear items, updates maintenance services, and gives it a top to bottom inside and out detail. This gives you the confidence of knowing it works and feels as it did the day it rolled out of the factory.
