1. Depreciation

Depreciation is something that is inevitable when you purchase a vehicle and you will experience depreciation in the car’s value. In just a few years of ownership of your vehicle, you’d be surprised how large the depreciation percentage can be! The good thing about purchasing a used vehicle? You’ll likely experience less depreciation since the largest depreciation generally has happened already. When you choose a used vehicle from Barker Honda you are able to choose a vehicle that has the features, technology, and a monthly payment that works for your budget and lifestyle without worrying about how much the value of your vehicle is decreasing. This is one of the many benefits you get from buying a pre-owned model from Barker Honda.

2. Value For Your Money

When it comes to purchasing a new vehicle no matter what make or model you are going to be paying close to MSRP pricing which has increased over the years for many new models. When our customers want to have more value when it comes to a vehicle like extra features and technology their budget can go farther when shopping for a pre-owned vehicle rather than a new vehicle. This also decreases your depreciation loss because most of the depreciation has already been accounted for which over time saves you money. The value that our pre-owned inventory allows you to get more of the things you want and need from a vehicle. 

3. Variety of Inventory

Barker Honda’s inventory is incredibly diverse with a multitude of choices from different makes like Chevy, Ford, Toyota, and more. We also have a variety of different models, trims, and colors to choose from within our pre-owned inventory. When you choose to look at a pre-owned vehicle your options widen from a selection of a few models to a variety of different makes, models, and trims allowing you to choose more definitely on what you are looking for to make sure it fits your needs perfectly. 

4. Accessible Features

When you are searching for a vehicle of course you want the leather seats and all of the new technology inside to have a better driving experience but that is not always within your budget when you are looking at new vehicle prices and that is why pre-owned is a great option for someone without the budget but would like all of these things. Buying pre-owned allows you to stretch your budget to get into a pre-owned model that would have the features you might not be able to afford if the vehicle was new, like a higher trim level with better specs, features, and safety technology. Pre-Owned could be a wonderful option to make sure you get the perfect vehicle that you want within your budget that meets your needs.  

5. Lower Monthly Costs

When it comes to purchasing a vehicle many people do not take into account the insurance costs from that purchase and when you buy a new vehicle your insurance payment will always be more than a pre-owned vehicle’s monthly payment when it comes to insurance. The value of your vehicle is one of the primary variables insurance companies use when determining your payments. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle you are essentially saving more in your monthly car note but you are also saving money when it comes to your insurance payment as well. Which is why lower insurance cost is one of the best benefits when buying a pre-owned vehicle that many people do not realize.
