It may be tempting to go for a new car, especially if it's your first vehicle. We all love that new car smell after all, and maybe you want to make sure that you're getting the latest in-car tech. However, we also sell some quality used cars in Baltimore, including ones that could make for an ideal first car.
Here are some reasons why the experts here at Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM Parkville think that making your first car a used one might be ideal.
The Price
Obviously, one of the best things about buying used is the price. When you purchase a vehicle that's a few years old, it can be priced lower than you would expect, and you can easily get more car for your money as a result.
You might also be able to buy a vehicle in a higher trim level. You might even be able to afford a different vehicle entirely - one that doesn't fit your budget as a new car. Overall, buying used gives you a ton of flexibility.
Insurance Costs
If this is your first car, it's likely the first time you're going to be on an insurance policy. Car insurance can be quite expensive for first-time drivers because you don't have a safe driving history to look at. You're a wild card to an insurance company, which means big premiums. An older used car can sometimes cost less to insure than a new vehicle would, which could be good for a first-time buyer.
Peace of Mind
Sometimes driving a new car can be stressful. Any small dent or scratch can really ruin your day, but driving a used car that already has a little bit of wear and tear on it can be liberating. You're not going to worry as much about the small stuff and you can just enjoy driving your vehicle.
If you're looking for your first car, make it one of our used vehicles. Our Dodge dealers will make it easy to find a reliable model that offers the features you need. We hope to see you soon!
