Benefits of Buying a Pre-Owned Vehicle

There are many benefits to buying a pre-owned vehicle from the Preston Automotive Group. Preston Automotive Group is currently in their Mission Possible Pre-Owned Surplus Sell Off. They have a surplus of pre-owned vehicles due to thier Top 100 Sales Drive.  Pre-Owned vehicles can often be just as appealing and worth the money as new vehicles. The first benefit is price. Buying a new vehicle is expensive, especially once you get into high trim levels. A used car is going to be less expensive and could even allow the customer to step up to a nicer model than expected. It becomes possible to get all the features desired in a vehicle that would be extremely expensive when buying new. Most used vehicles have desired features that are also available in new. Another important benefit is that used vehicles don’t depreciate as much as new vehicles. Cars lose value with each passing month and mile. The steepest decline in a vehicles depreciation happens right away. Some models lose 40 percent or more of their value in the first year. With a used vehicle there is no depreciation set to hit the second the vehicle is driven off the lot. There is also mental depreciation. There isn’t a need to worry about the first parking lot ding or rock chip in the paint because chances are that the cars previous owners took care of that. Vehicles don’t lose nearly as much value after the first year that they are driven off the lot. There is also a lot of choice with a used car. Although they can’t be made to order a customer can find a model and option package which might not be made any longer. There are a lot of pre-owned vehicles out there that have only had one owner. The chances of these vehicles being in excellent condition is very high. A car with owner is less likely to have problems with it since many owners of newer model year vehicles keep their vehicles clean if they know they are going to trade it in. There are also many certification programs that are available on used vehicles. The general benefits of Certified Pre-Owned vehicles include manufacturers usually consider only late-model, low mileage used cars and trucks with no history of major damage. These vehicles are usually practically brand new. Another benefit of a certification program is that the vehicles which are certified pre owned undergo a rigid inspection process of mechanical and cosmetic items before they become certified. Certified pre-owned vehicles are normally covered by a warranty which extends a lot longer than the original factory warranty. The warranty usually includes the same features as a new vehicle warranty. There is also a lot of special financing which is available for Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.

History of the Top 100 and Preston Ford Preston Ford actually has a history of making the list of Top 100 Ford Dealers in the Nation each of the past several years!  This is a huge accomplishment for the small town of Preston.  Starting in 2009 Preston Ford was 109 th in the nation out of all 3,300 Ford dealers.  In 2010 Preston Ford was 93 rd in the Top 100 Ford Dealers in the nation.  In 2011, Preston Ford again moved up in the ranks to 89 th place for their second Top 100 finish.  When 2012 came around, Preston made it to 102 nd place – just barely missing the Top 100 Ford Dealers in the nation.  However, in 2013 Preston Ford returned to the ranks of the Top 100 equaling their highest mark to date – 89 th in the nation. That record was shattered in 2014 when they finished at 72nd in the nation! They are looking to have similar success as the year winds down in 2015. Congratulations Edward and Carrie Dobos on your new Ford F-150!
