Decision Time: Should You Buy A New Or Used Luxury Vehicle?

If you have always had a dream car in mind, the question of "Should I buy a new or used luxury car?" has likely entered your thoughts. Both have their advantages. Given how significant an investment any vehicle purchase is, we lay out the pros and cons of buying a new vs. used luxury car here to help you make an informed decision.

Pros and Cons of Buying a Used Luxury Car

Used cars are the go-to option for a lot of vehicle shoppers. When you shop our pre-owned inventory, you can expect high-quality vehicles that are competitively priced, offering you savings over the current model year of the same car. In many cases, pre-owned cars can have very similar features to the modern lineup.

<>Meanwhile, you might find yourself drawn to some of the differences. For example, a previous year might have offered slightly more horsepower or better fuel economy. You might enjoy its old look as well. Our filtering function makes it easy to sort our pre-owned luxury vehicle selection by the aspects that matter the most to you.

Luxury vehicles are made with premium materials so that you enjoy every minute that you spend in your car. However, these materials add to the vehicle's worth and, thus, can come with higher insurance premiums. A used luxury vehicle can still surround you in comfort, but since its replacement cost is lower, your premiums may be lower to match.

We have many great models from a wide range of different brands. However, we would like to especially draw your attention to one of our certified pre-owned luxury car or SUV models. These vehicles must adhere to strict age and mileage requirements and have a clean vehicle history.

Buying a certified pre-owned luxury SUV is a lot like taking home a new vehicle, as it will come with limited warranties that will help protect your investment. Other potential benefits you can get with a certified pre-owned vehicle include roadside assistance, maintenance packages, or trials with some popular services. Connect with our team to learn more about our certified pre-owned inventory.

That being said, other used vehicles might not have warranties attached, which can be considered a con. These vehicles also have mileage already on their odometer, meaning that you likely won't be able to drive it for as long as a new vehicle. If you particularly like the features of the current model year, some of these might be absent. We can go over more pros and cons of buying a used luxury vehicle at our dealership.

Consider Choosing a New Luxury SUV or Sedan

By contrast, when you buy a new luxury SUV or sedan, you will have the advantage of all of the latest technology and enhancements. Many automakers are getting into the hybrid and electric vehicle game, allowing more and more people to reduce or eliminate their reliance on fluctuating gas station prices. While there could be some of these vehicles in our used inventory, it is not guaranteed.

In general, while we have a large used selection, pre-owned inventory is dictated by trade-ins, meaning that the exact model, trim, or color you want might not be available when you want it. With a new vehicle, our team can help you order one to your specifications if that is what you wish.

New vehicles always come with warranties, and you can drive away comfortably knowing you are the only owner this vehicle has ever had, so its condition and maintenance are under your control.
