As inflation continues to hit record highs in the United States, Americans see its effects at the pump, in the grocery store, and their daily lives. The cost of living is rising faster than wages, presenting new challenges for consumers. When it comes to car ownership, new cars are becoming increasingly unaffordable. According to Kelley Blue Book, new car costs average around $37,000. For many Americans, this is simply not feasible.

Fortunately, used cars offer a more affordable option for consumers and can be just as reliable thanks to advances in automotive technology. Moreover, used cars have all the same features and benefits as new cars but at a fraction of the cost. This makes them an excellent option for budget-conscious consumers, especially in today's economy.

At Vaden Automotive, we understand that times are tough and budgets are tight. That's why we offer a large selection of quality used cars at affordable prices. We also provide financing options to help make your purchase even more affordable. If you're in the market for a new car, check out our used cars first. You might be surprised at how much car you can get for your money.

Advantages of Purchasing a Used Vehicle

The new car smell might be intoxicating, but it comes with a hefty price tag that's often not worth it, especially when you can find a used vehicle that's just as great but much more affordable. Here are just a few benefits of purchasing a used car:

• More affordable: If you're working with a tight budget, a used car is the way to go. You can find a high-quality used vehicle for a fraction of the cost of a new one without sacrificing features, value, or performance.
• Less depreciation: A new car can lose up to 20% of its value as soon as you drive it off the lot. With a used car, you don't have to worry about this initial drop in value since the previous owner has already absorbed most of the depreciation.
• More variety: When looking for a used car, you have a much wider selection since there are more years and models to choose from. You're not limited to the current year's models like when shopping for a new car.
• More bang for your buck: A used car often comes loaded with features and options that would be much more expensive or unavailable on a new car. You can get a higher trim level or more luxurious model for the same price as a base model new car.
• Detailed history: When you purchase a used car from Vaden Automotive, you can request a CARFAX Vehicle History Report that details everything from ownership history to maintenance and repair records. So, you can buy with confidence knowing that you're getting a quality vehicle.
• Certified pre-owned vehicles: A certified pre-owned vehicle is a used car that must meet specific criteria, such as passing a detailed inspection, before being certified. With many of the same benefits as a new car, it comes with extended warranties and other perks that give you peace of mind.
• Lower insurance costs: Since used cars are worth less than new cars, they also cost less to insure. This can save you a significant amount of money every year on your car insurance premiums, which can add up to big savings over the life of your vehicle.
• Better for the environment: During production, a new car emits many pollutants into the environment and uses large amounts of energy and resources. When you purchase a used car, you're reusing a vehicle that's already been produced, which is much better for the environment.
