If you are thinking of buying a new, well-appointed sedan, you might want to think twice. Vehicle depreciation is real. In the first year alone, the average depreciation on a new car is 25 percent, and after three years, it can be as much as 45 percent. It’s not that buying a new car in Plainfield is the wrong thing to do; it just makes sense to look at the advantages of buying a used Cadillac in Plainfield, too. When you buy a used Cadillac, you will:
Save Money
You can easily save thousands of dollars by purchasing a well-maintained used car. As noted, used cars depreciate, and they do it quickly. A car is new until you take title to it and drive off the dealer’s lot. Once you do that, the car is used. There are other significant savings when you buy a used Cadillac; you pay less tax and insurance premiums are less.
Used Cars Are Reliable
About 30 to 40 years ago, cars were nothing like they are today. A used Cadillac sedan, crossover, or SUV lasts much longer. The average age of cars on American highways and byways is over 11 years. The auto industry predicts that the number of 11 and 12-year-old cars will rise to 15 percent by 2020.
A used Cadillac is built to last. You can expect to drive one for many years with few problems.
Vehicle History Reports
If you are concerned about the vehicle’s past, don’t be. A dealer in Plainfield can provide you with a history report. The vehicle VIN will tell you a lot about a used Cadillac. You will know how many people have owned the car, mileage validation, and accident and repair information.
Today’s vehicles are better than they have been. There are plenty of good reasons to consider a used Cadillac.
