Why Buy a Used Truck in Vancouver?
November 25 2022, Vancouver Honda
Pickup trucks are becoming an increasingly popular vehicle choice in Canada as people look to All-Wheel Drive vehicles because of their stability in off-road terrain as well as during severe weather conditions according to a report by Market Research Future (MRFR).
Apart from being a safer drive, there are plenty of reasons why you may be looking for a truck for recreational or business needs. Read on to learn why you should consider shopping for a pre-owned vehicle instead of a brand new one.
Cost Savings
Brand new pickup trucks can be pretty heavy budget-wise – especially if you want all the features included in a top trim. Opting for a pre-owned model with similar performance and features can save you a bundle. If you’ve never bought a used truck before, here are a few features that you’ll be glad have:
- Rearview camera
- Blindspot monitoring
- Adaptive cruise control
- Parking sensors
Used vehicles also typically have lower insurance premiums than new ones, so you can save there too.
Great Resale Value
Whenever you decide it is time to move on, pickup trucks have an awesome resale value – provided they have been cared for and bought used. This is because a brand-new vehicle undergoes major depreciation the moment it is driven off the dealership lot. When you buy a used truck, it’s minus the major depreciation that the initial owner went through and can therefore, get a resale price closer to the value that you paid.
Plenty of Choice
There are a few models of trucks released every year and dealers typically stock only a few models which can limit your choices when it comes to choosing features, colours, trims. Chances are you’ll be able to find exactly what you’re looking for from the much larger pool of used trucks for sales as opposed to brand new ones.
Certified Pre-Owned Trucks
Many dealerships will give you the option to buy certified pre-owned trucks. They give you the benefits of buying a truck at a lower price than a new one while still receiving the benefits of manufacturer guarantees. Additionally, you’ll know that any repairs or work carried out on certified, pre-owned trucks have been carried out using OEM parts. Depending on the vehicle in question, you may also be able to buy the vehicle with warranties on certain features or free services from the dealership in question, among other benefits.
