Why buy a used Ram 1500
While there are many reasons that buying a used car is a great decision, the most important benefit is that used cars depreciate much slower than new cars. In fact, after a new car’s first year of ownership, it will have lost approximately 20% of its original value. After three years of ownership, the value will have decreased up to 40%. However, when you buy a used car, most of this depreciation will be out of the way, and it will hold its value for longer. Additionally, buying used allows you to stretch your money further for more features. For example, the money you may spend on an entry-level Ram 1500 Tradesman brand new could be used to get you a higher trim level like the Laramie a few model years older, giving you more standard features. Lastly, when you shop for a used vehicle, there is a vast selection of information, including expert reviews, vehicle-specific forums, and reviews from actual drivers. Whereas when you shop for a new car, you’ll typically only find reviews from experts with no reviews from everyday drivers.
Why buy used from a dealership
Buying from an established dealership instead of a private sale will save you time and stress. For example, purchasing a truck through private sale means you might not get a complete background on the truck, you’ll have to set up a time and place to meet with a stranger to see the truck, and all of the paperwork will need to be done by you and the seller. However, when you buy from a dealership like Temecula Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, you’ll get access to a vehicle history report, find a wide selection of vehicles all in one place, and all of the paperwork will be taken care of by a professional, only needing your signature. Also, when you buy from a dealership, you get the confidence of knowing that the vehicle has gone through a thorough inspection to ensure its quality and that it has been white-glove detailed inside and out.
