When you're on the hunt for a new vehicle, you'll find two major options – new or pre-owned. While both vehicle options include a long list of benefits and advantages, they also have some cons attached. We recommend taking a closer look at the many benefits buying a new or a pre-owned vehicle can provide. When you're ready to find your next new or pre-owned model, our Barnes Crossing Kia dealership would love to help you pick out the new Kia or pre-owned vehicle to match.
Benefits of Buying a New Vehicle
Buying a brand-new Kia car or SUV has several benefits you won't want to miss. These include:
- First Owner Benefits - You get to be the first owner of a vehicle – enjoying that new car smell, knowing that you put your items in it first, and having the knowledge that no one has driven it or misused it before. If you want, you can even order your new Kia vehicle exactly how you want it to be, creating a custom order that's for you and you alone.
- Lease or Loan Options – Most new vehicles have both lease and loan options available. This gives you more purchasing choices, allowing you to match your budget and buying preferences with the right financing opportunity. To learn more about leasing vs loaning, feel free to talk to our finance team.
- Latest Features and Technological Advancements – Because the vehicle is brand-new, it will contain the most up-to-date features, powertrain items, and technological programs. From the newest tech devices and safety systems to the latest luxuries and helpful features, your new Kia will have the option of being the most recent model throughout your daily drive.
- New Car is Under Warranty – Most new vehicles come with a new car warranty that covers several items for a few years. This new car warranty gives you more peace of mind throughout your journeys. You could also find a maintenance warranty available, which allows you to keep your Kia car or SUV as new as possible without the hassle of maintenance payments.
Of course, buying new does have a few cons. Price-wise, a new vehicle is more expensive than pre-owned. You'll also find a much higher depreciation value on a new vehicle, and could accumulate higher buying costs at the beginning of your purchase.
Benefits of Buying a Pre-Owned Vehicle
Buying a pre-owned vehicle comes with a wide range of benefits as well. These include:
- Pre-Owned Car Price – One of the biggest advantages to buying pre-owned is the less expensive pre-owned price. This low price tag allows you to spend less on the vehicle you need and may help you find a higher trim level at the price range you need. Plus, many pre-owned vehicles also include a lower interest rate, less money for taxes and registration costs, and a lower insurance premium.
- Less Depreciation – When you buy a pre-owned vehicle, the new car depreciation has already been taken. This means that your pre-owned car will maintain its current value for many miles to come, unless something drastic occurs.
- Many Pre-Owned Vehicle Options Available – With models in several makes and brands, you'll find a wide range of pre-owned options from which you can choose. In fact, our Barnes Crossing Kia dealership is always adding new pre-owned cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans to our collection, giving you several options to take advantage of.
Of course, buying pre-owned also has some disadvantages. These include no or very limited warranty coverage, not being the first owner and having the benefits that it provides, and fewer purchasing opportunities to match your budgetary wants and needs.
