Why Used Cars Are Great First Cars

For first-time car shoppers at our dealership, one of the biggest decisions to be made is whether to purchase a new car or one of our used cars. And while new cars definitely have their advantages, you might be surprised to find that there are several reasons why used cars make great first cars. Join the experts at i.g. Burton Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Milford to learn more.

Used Cars Cost Less Than New Cars

The biggest reason for this is depreciation or a loss of value. New cars can depreciate by up to 30 percent during the first few years of ownership, beginning as soon as the car is driven off the lot at If you're willing to buy a car that's three years old and has some miles on it, you can count on paying a lot less than you would if it was brand-new.

Used Cars Offer More Choices

When you commit to Chrysler financing for a used car, you'll have a greater variety of vehicle choices that aren't limited to the current model year. You'll also have more choices in terms of color, engine type, transmission, and features. So if you have a certain type of car in mind and you're looking for a specific set of features, it's likely that you'll find a used car that meets your criteria.

Used Cars are Just as Safe as New Vehicles

Over the last decade, advancements in automotive safety technology have made cars safer than ever. And as the popularity and availability of these technologies has grown, their price has dropped dramatically, so that virtually all car manufacturers offer models with the latest safety tech - even if you buy a used car that's a few years old. Also, the engineering quality of today's cars is vastly superior to that of a decade or two ago, which means you'll enjoy sizable savings on Mopar® auto service.
