Whether you're a first-time buyer or it's your second or fifth car, there seems to be a lot that goes into the process. One of the most important questions you have to ask yourself is, should I buy a used Honda or new?
What Is a Used Car?
A used car is any car that's been owned before. Here at Heritage Honda, we also have a selection of Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Honda models. The difference between a used car and a CPO car largely comes down to the more rigorous CPO models' standards.
Reasons to Buy a Used Honda
Used cars aren't what they used to be. Instead of being clunkers that always break down, the right used car can keep you on the road for years. So, here are some reasons why you might want to go used.
Depreciation
A car's value depreciates as soon as you drive it off the lot. That means that its value goes down. However, when you buy a used car, it's already depreciated, so you don't take as large of a loss.
More Car for Your Money
Budgeting for a new car is tough. But there's a fun part when you go the used route. Instead of going with a lower trim with fewer features on a new 2021 Honda model, you can get a better version with more features or a higher trim level for about the same cost.
Affordable Fees and Costs
Don't think that just because you bought the car means you're done paying for it. When you buy a used car, however, both your insurance and registration costs will typically be lower.
