One of the biggest advantages of buying used is the savings. When you buy a car from our under-$15,000 inventory, your monthly payments will be a lot lower than they would be for a new car. You'll also need less money for a down payment and might even be able to pay for the car in full. By paying less for a used car, you'll have more money to cover maintenance costs and accessorize it how you please.
Yet another way buying used helps you save big is that it circumvents depreciation costs. Cars naturally lose value over time, but depreciation rates are highest during the car's first few years. If you buy a slightly older car, you'll experience lower depreciation rates than you would if you were to buy a new model. When it's time to sell your car, you'll be able to recover more of what you initially spent.

Take Pride in Ownership
Some people are in favor of leasing, as it allows you to pay less per month and enjoy a brand-new car. However, leasing isn't for everyone. The mile restrictions and lack of ownership at the end of your term can be discouraging to those who want more control over their vehicle.
A great alternative for those on a budget is buying a used car. A pre-owned vehicle comes with lower monthly payments, lets you drive unlimited miles, and results in ownership. Many people desire the satisfaction of owning a car, and the equity you have in the vehicle can be very valuable if you ever find yourself in a tough financial situation.
Examine CARFAX Reports
While many people are wary of buying a used car, Huffines Chevrolet Plano makes the option just as desirable as buying a new one. One way we accomplish this is by allowing you to examine CARFAX reports. These documents give a thorough history of the vehicle to help you determine whether it's worth buying.
Particularly useful information to look for on a CARFAX report includes the number of previous owners, the location of the previous owners, and the last-reported odometer reading. You can also pay attention to the service history records, as you'll want a car that received regular maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations.
Inspect Vehicles in Person
Yet another way you can feel confident about buying a used car is by inspecting the vehicle in person. Start by examining the exterior for damage. Small dings and scratches are typical on many used cars, but be aware of larger areas of damage. Especially if the CARFAX report doesn't indicate this damage, the vehicle might've been in an accident that would make you hesitant to purchase it. During your inspection, you can also look for leaking fluids that might indicate the need for repairs.
Schedule a Test Drive
When you're interested in a car that you see online or in our lot, consider taking it for a test drive. Experiencing it on the road can be the determining factor in whether you make the purchase. When you climb into the vehicle, ensure the upholstery is in good condition and check for signs of water damage.
Verify that all the warning lights light up when you turn the key to the accessory position and turn off when you turn the ignition. As you drive, be aware of any tapping or clicking sounds that could indicate engine problems. You can also pay attention to factors like the car's alignment and how smoothly the brakes work.
