Time To Bust 3 Pre-owned Car Buying Myths!

Many young hopefuls have been snubbed by unruly passersby at the used car section at an auto dealership. It's not that bad of an investment given the high prices of new cars this year, but some people still find ways to discredit the financial savings in a pre-owned buy.

Funnily, it's the same people you will find having their cars repossessed and becoming the talk of the town. The good part is, these pre-owned car buying myths are easily busted with a bit of auto market research, common sense, and a knack at being bang on a budget!

Cumberland CDJR brings you three such myths worth discrediting!

1. Fewer Miles on The Odometer Indicates the Car Is 'Nearly' New

In the conventional world of purchasing objects, the less it's used, the lower is its perceived value. In the auto world, the more a car is driven in a certain period, the better it indicates engine health. Low mileage cars could be a year old with just the right annual mileage, or they could also be defective or sold because the previous owner wanted a different car. There are many reasons a car may be high or low mileage; that's why authorized dealerships offer you their Carfax history so you can make a better decision!

Usually, relatively high mileage cars are highly reliable and have a history of regular service and a considerate owner!

2. You Will Barely Get Any Benefits on A Pre-Owned Purchase

It depends on what kind of dealership you visit because franchise dealerships with all the correct accreditations provide many used buy benefits. You can avail of a car loan at sustainable rates; you can get extended warranties, parts & service specials, you can enroll in a loyalty program, or get a rebate on some models. Military & college-goers have their own purchase specials!

The next time you doubt the 'benefits' part, better visit a real auto dealership to understand the lie behind the myth!

3. The Used Car Will Cost More on Repairs Than the Car Itself

The myth is true if you shop from a place with no accredited standing and get scammed into buying a real lemon. Authorized dealerships don't just accept any car sold or traded in with them. There is a stringent procedure for testing a pre-owned car's safety, performance, and structural integrity before it is displayed for sale & the seller paid. Based on so many checks, there is a slim chance any faults escape inspection to plague the next owner with high repair costs.

Quality sells, even second-hand, so the only maintenance costs you will be dealing with are the regular service recommended by the owner's manual. The better the car has been cared for, the less you have to pay!
