Are you in the market for a reliable, stylish, and affordable used SUV? If so, you've come to the right place. At Huffines Chevrolet Plano, we offer a wide array of used SUVs that fit every need and budget. Whether you're an adventurer, have a growing family, or just want a bit more space, we have something for you. But why choose a used SUV over a new one? Let's explore the numerous benefits and take a closer look at what our dealership has to offer.
Benefits of Used SUVs vs. New
When buying a vehicle, the choice between new, used, and Certified Pre-owned can be challenging. However, there are many benefits to choosing a used SUV. Let's explore why going the used route could be the best decision for you.
Cost Savings
One of the most significant advantages of buying a used SUV is the cost savings. New cars depreciate quickly, losing a substantial portion of their value within the first few years. By opting for a used SUV, you avoid this steep depreciation and get a high-quality vehicle at a fraction of the price. Plus, lower prices mean lower insurance costs.
Variety
When purchasing a used SUV, you have a wider variety of models and years to choose from. This gives you more flexibility in finding a vehicle that fits your needs and preferences. If you're looking for a specific feature or color, the chances are higher that you'll find it in the used market.
Reliability
Modern vehicles last for a long time, and SUVs are no exception. With proper maintenance, a used SUV can offer many years of reliable service. Plus, many used SUVs come with detailed service histories, so you'll know exactly what you're getting.
More Features for Less
When you buy a used SUV, you can often afford a higher trim level or a model with more features than if you were buying a new one. This means you can enjoy luxurious options such as leather seats, advanced safety systems, and premium audio without breaking the bank.
Lower Insurance Costs
Used SUVs often come with lower insurance premiums compared to new models. This is because the vehicle's overall value is lower, meaning less risk for insurance companies. Lower premiums can translate to significant savings over the life of your SUV.
What To Look For on a Test Drive
Once you decide to explore the world of used SUVs, a test drive is your next step. This is your chance to get a feel for the vehicle and ensure it meets your expectations. Below are some factors to consider during this important step.
Pay Attention to the Interior
Is it comfortable? Are the seats supportive? Check for wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas such as the driver's seat and steering wheel. Does everything work as it should? Play with the controls, test the air conditioning, and ensure all the tech works as expected.
Focus on the Driving Experience
How does the SUV handle? Is the ride smooth, or do you feel every bump in the road? Listen for unusual noises, such as rattles or squeaks, which could indicate underlying issues. Don't forget to test the brakes. Do they feel responsive? Is there any vibration or pulling to one side?
Take a Moment To Assess Visibility
Can you see well out of the windows? Are there any blind spots that make you uncomfortable? Good visibility is crucial for safety, so make sure you feel confident behind the wheel.
Consider the Vehicle's History
At Huffines Chevrolet Plano, we provide comprehensive vehicle history reports for all our used SUVs. These reports give you peace of mind by detailing past accidents, service records, and ownership history. Knowing this information can help you make an informed decision.
