new-vs-used

Decisions. Decisions. If you are in the market for a vehicle, you have a dizzying number of choices that may leave you scratching your head in bewilderment. What color car do you want? What kind of options should it have? Do you want a four-door sedan, a two-seat roadster, or a heavy-duty truck?

Another important choice you must consider is whether to buy a new or a used car. There are definite benefits and drawbacks to both. Here at Village Toyota, we offer a wide selection of new and used cars in Homosassa from which to choose. Because we want you to make an educated decision when buying a car from our Crystal River area Toyota dealership, we offer the following Car-Buying Guide that spells out the pros and cons of buying a used or a new vehicle.

Of course, our knowledgeable sales professionals here at our Citrus County Toyota dealership are always available to answer your questions. Our goal is to help you pick out just the right car for your tastes, your needs, and your budget.

The Pros Of Buying New:

You Get Exactly What You Want

You can order a new car to your exact specifications with all the accessories, options, and features that you want. Our Village Toyota salespeople are trained to help find the exact new car that will fit you perfectly.

It’s Your Car Right From The Start

It’s a satisfying feeling to look at the odometer of your new car and see only a few miles on it. Apart from a test drive or two, you are the first person to have driven the vehicle. This fact is also important because it doesn’t come with any potential problems or issues from a previous owner.

You’ll Get The Full New-Car Warranty

You can drive your new car with the confidence and peace-of-mind knowing that it’s covered by the full manufacturer’s warranty.

You’ll Have The Latest Technology

If being on top of your high-tech game is an important selling point, then a new car with all the latest tech toys like turn-by-turn navigation and Bluetooth® to 4G LTE WI-FI, smartphone integration and comprehensive “infotainment” systems may be what you’re seeking.

You’ll Get The Latest Safety Enhancements

You’ll get the best safety technology on the market today when you buy a new car. Such features as rear-view cameras, front-end collision avoidance, lane departure and blind-spot warning systems, adaptive cruise control, and advanced dual-stage airbags make today’s modern vehicles safer than ever.

You’ll Get Better Fuel Economy And Lower Emissions

Today’s modern Toyota engines are marvels of efficiency, performance, and fuel economy. Advancements in Toyota’s groundbreaking electric/hybrid technology push the boundaries of fuel efficiency even further.

You’ll Get A Better Financing Rate

As a rule of thumb, banks will often offer better financing on new cars. Additional manufacturer incentives like 0% financing for qualified buyers can also sweeten the deal.

Advantages of Buying a Pre-Owned Car:

Used Cars Cost Less

In most cases, purchasing a pre-owned vehicle will stretch your dollar further. With so many pre-owned cars to choose from here at Village Toyota, you will get close to what you want in terms of style, options, and features. While our “like new” Toyota Certified Pre-owned vehicles here at Village Toyota cost a bit more, they’ve been rigorously inspected and even come with many warranty options.

Used Cars Are Already “Pre-Depreciated”

Every new car loses some value over time, especially in the first year of ownership. But with a pre-owned vehicle, some of that depreciation has been soaked up by the previous owner(s).

A Pre-Owned Car Will Have Some Cosmetic Flaws

If you dread that first parking-lot ding or paint chip on your “pristine” new car, then buying a car with a few cosmetic imperfections may be a good thing. It means you won’t have to park it at the far end of the parking lot where few people park.

Insurance Costs Less

Generally speaking, the older a car is, the less expensive it is to insure. You should check with your insurance agent and see just how much money you’ll save versus buying new.

You’ll Have More Selection

Buying a used car from Village Toyota broadens the choices you have since you can select from many different manufacturers and price points.

We hope that explaining the pros and cons of buying new versus used will help you make an informed decision when visiting our Homosassa Toyota dealership. Whether new or used, our goal here at Village Toyota is to put you in the new or pre-owned car that fits your needs and your budget.
