The Top Three Reasons For Choosing A Used Honda Today
Posted by admin at 10 December 2013, at 14 : 50 PM
It is not a bad thing to want to own a shiny new car. If you have the money, why not invest in a brand new model from a reputable manufacturer like Honda? But what if you don’t have enough money and need a car for work or for your business immediately? Do you then exhaust all resources and try to get a loan? Do you settle for a low-priced Honda model even though you’ve got your heart set on a mid-priced one?
Deciding to buy a car is a personal decision but it helps to have some advice so you know you are on the right track to a good investment. So here’s an idea worth mulling over: Why buy a new car when you can still get a good value on a second-hand vehicle, like a used Honda? Here are the three top three reasons why you should consider this option.
1. You avoid depreciation.
Once you drive it off the lot, a shiny new car drops in value. Car guides claim that owners of mainstream cars can expect to lose about 30 percent of their car’s value during the first two years of ownership. In comparison to investing in properties, investing in vehicles is not as lucrative. And when you do decide to resell the car, you will be selling it at a far lesser price than when you bought it.
2. Certification programs guarantee “like new” condition.
At a Honda Calgary dealership, you can get certified used cars from the manufacturer. These certifications basically guarantee that the pre-owned Hondas have no history of major damage and that they’ve undergone an extensive inspection, from mechanical to cosmetic. Some certified pre-owned Honda cars may be pricier than the usual used cars you will see on other lots because these vehicles have been through a rigid safety inspection process and reconditioning to meet Honda’s exacting standards.
3. It is certainly more affordable.
Lastly, pre-owned cars are quite simply so much more affordable than new ones. You will pay more for a brand new Honda Civic than a used Honda Civic. Calgary residents such as yourself can certainly save more money on a car purchase and maybe even have enough to pay for the Honda Civic in full, instead of making monthly payments.
Whether you need to get a compact SUV like the Honda CR-V or a sedan like the Civic, consider a pre-owned car. It will not depreciate on you. It will be certified according to the manufacturer’s standards. And it will be easy on the pocket.
