If you’re in the market for adventure in the Pulaski, VA area, you’re in plenty of luck. The real question isn’t what trail to tear up, it’s what vehicle to do it in. And when you want the best off-road adventure buggy for your buck, there’s nothing like buying a used Jeep to prowl the trails and conquer the dirt roads all across Virginia. Here are just a few reasons to consider buying your next Jeep on the used market rather than fresh off the lot.
1. Depreciation is On Your Side
One of the ugliest secrets of the new-car market is that new vehicles can depreciate as much as 50% in the first three years off the lot. But while that’s sour news for those who want to buy new, it’s a fantastic discovery if you’re looking to squeeze the most amount of fun out of every dollar you spend on a vehicle.
Leveraging this financial inevitability can work to your advantage. It means you can often find a used Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, or Gladiator with only a few thousand miles on the odometer for a surprisingly low price.
2. Higher Trims at a Lower Price
When you choose to buy new, sometimes it seems like every bell or whistle adds thousands to the price tag, putting the classiest trims of a Jeep out of the hands of the average car buyer. Wait a few years, however, and those top-trim vehicles depreciate just as much as their entry-level siblings, meaning that the cost of each additional feature depreciates as well.
Whether you’ve got your heart set on a Wrangler Rubicon, a Grand Cherokee Summit, or a Grand Wagoneer Obsidian, the trim you crave can often come at a price competitive with (or even better than) a new model at the entry-level trim.
3. Reduced Insurance Cost
The cost of insuring a new car is something that’s often hidden during the buying process. After all, your dealership doesn’t arrange insurance, you do, meaning that those buying new may not only have higher-than-desired monthly payments to contend with but also may be surprised by the added cost of insuring that vehicle at the most expensive part of its lifecycle.
Wait a few years for depreciation to do its work, though, and you’re likely to not just pay less for that same vehicle, but pay less for the insurance on it, too. Since the depreciated value of the vehicle is lower, insurers pay less when they need to respond to a claim, and they pass the savings on to you.
If adventure is what moves you, a pre-owned Jeep offers you the most grins for the least amount of green. Book your test drive today at Duncan Suzuki and climb into a new-to-you, off-road-ready ride.
