When you’re looking for a used car for sale on Long Island, consider a used Toyota from Sunrise Toyota North. Used Toyotas are well-known for being reliable well into six-figure mileages and their second decade of use. They’re also cheaper than a new car, and with Toyota’s comprehensive Certified Pre-Owned warranty program, you’ll have assurance that you’ll be covered in case of a break down. How else are used Toyotas great used cars? Read on to discover!
1. Used Cars Cost Less (And Not Just on the Sticker Price)
Of course, probably the best-known fact about used trucks, cars, and SUVs is that they’re far cheaper than new models for pretty much the same car. However, by buying a used Toyota SUV, truck, or car, you’ll save far more than on the day of your purchase.
Since used cars cost less, whatever cash you have on hand as a down payment will make up a bigger portion of the purchase price, meaning you’ll have lower payments and pay less in interest over the lifetime of the car. In addition, most jurisdictions charge registration fees based on the value of your car, meaning you’ll save there as well. Finally, you’ll be able to insure your car for less money, since it’s worth less than a new car of a similar make and model. All together, these will save you hundreds or even thousands over the life of the car.
2. Used Cars Depreciate Less
Perhaps the most surprising way that buying a used car can save you money is through depreciation. It’s almost a cliché that a new car loses nearly 15% of its value as it’s driven off the lot—but depreciation continues for about the first three years of ownership, and finally shaves around 30% of the value off the car.
By buying a used Toyota, you can avoid most or all of that depreciation, meaning your car’s value will stay more stable over time. When you’re ready to trade your used car in or trade it up for a newer model, you’ll be able to recoup more of your purchase price—and with Toyotas, sometimes they even gain value over time!
3. Used Toyotas’ Warranties May Still Be in Effect
New Toyotas come with a 3-year/36,000-mile comprehensive warranty, as well as a 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Most of the time, those warranties will transfer to a second owner, so if you buy a three- to five-year-old Toyota, it should still have a warranty in effect for you to save money on repairs. With Certified Pre-Owned Toyotas, those savings can multiply.
4. Certified Pre-Owned Toyotas Provide Even More Peace of Mind
Certified Pre-Owned Toyotas are guaranteed to meet a number of strict criteria, including quality inspections and drive testing, which means that we can warranty those vehicles even further than the original dealer warranty that’s provided. Along with that warranty, you can have greater peace of mind that your Certified Pre-Owned Toyota will be a quality driving machine for years to come.
Along with our Certified Pre-Owned program, here at Sunrise Toyota North we provide AutoCheck pre-owned car reports on our used cars, so you can see the repair and collision history when you buy a used car from us. It’s just another way we look out for our customers.
