Benefits of Buying Pre-Owned
Benefits of Buying Pre-Owned
There are many benefits to buying a pre-owned, or used vehicle. Whether it’s your first car or you’re looking to upgrade your ride, your locally owned Kalispell Ford dealership has you covered! But what are the advantages of buying used compared to new?
Lower Costs
Pre-owned cars on average are up to $20,000 cheaper than new ones. Combine that with the fact that Kalispell Ford offers competitive pricing and presents our best offer upfront on all vehicles, and you’re sure to get the best value for your money.
Lower Depreciation
Used cars depreciate much less than new cars since they have already undergone the steepest drop in value. In the first year alone, depending on wear and tear, new vehicles can depreciate by 20-30%. Within five years, they will have depreciated by 60%. This means that in just one year, a new car depreciates nearly as much as it will over the next four years. By purchasing a used car, you experience significantly slower depreciation while still enjoying the same features, luxury, and safety as a new vehicle—all at a lower cost!
Lots of Choices
Even though we are a Toyota dealership, our used car inventory has a wide variety of options! From sporty BMWs to Ford pickups, we have it all. For example, we have 150+ pre-owned vehicles on our lot, ranging in price from as low as $5,000 to as high as $120,000.
Lower Insurance and Registration
When purchasing a pre-owned vehicle you may also experience lower insurance and registration costs, saving you even more in the long run. While this isn’t guaranteed—since it depends on the make and model of the car—it’s something to keep in mind!
Our Guarantees to You
Finding a used car can feel overwhelming, but it shouldn’t have to be. At Kalispell Ford, one of our brand promises is to offer our best price upfront in writing. We also work hard to ensure that all of our vehicles are:
