Would you like to buy a vehicle without breaking the bank? Then you may want to consider purchasing a used vehicle as opposed to a new one. At Jeff Belzer Dodge Ram in Lakeville, Minnesota, we carry a large used car inventory that includes both Dodge and Ram models in addition to models from many other automakers. No matter what your budget might be, we can help you find a used car, truck, or SUV that you’ll be able to afford.

Why Buy a Used Car?

There are so many reasons why you should consider buying a used car versus a new one. First and foremost, a used car is only going to cost a fraction of what a new one will. That’ll make it an excellent option for those who might be shopping for a car with a budget in mind. A used car is also going to depreciate much more slowly than a new one will. It’ll hold its current value for a longer time, which will come in handy if you decide to sell a used car within the next few years.

Additionally, you’ll be able to get access to much lower auto insurance rates when you own a used car rather than a new one. And while some used cars might need more maintenance than new vehicles, there will be plenty of used options that are still in great condition. You won’t have to worry about performing too much maintenance on them as you move forward. For all these reasons, you should at least think about going with a used car before you choose to buy a new one.

What Should You Look for When Purchasing a Used Car?

If you have your sights set on buying a used car, there will be a few things you’ll want to look for before purchasing one. For starters, you should sneak a peek at how many miles used cars have on them prior to considering them. While it wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world to buy a used car with more than 100,000 miles on it, you should do some research on how much maintenance you’ll need to do on high-mileage vehicles. It’ll give you an idea of what to expect after driving a used car home.

You should also take a look at the CARFAX vehicle history report for a used car, truck, or SUV to find out if it’s ever been in any accidents. If it has, you’ll probably want to have it checked out to make sure it was repaired properly. You won’t feel confident climbing behind the wheel of a car that was damaged in an accident and not fixed up in the way that it should have been.

Outside of looking at these things, you’ll want to consider the price tags on different used cars as well. You’re already going to be saving some money by buying a used car over a new one. But even still, you don’t want to get stuck paying too much for a used car. Shopping around for a used car you can afford will be key.
