Many people know that there are some tricks to help save money. You may use coupons when you shop. You may cut off the lights when you’re not at home. And you may buy a used car in Ottawa to help save money. Whether you’re saving money to help build your wealth or simply to minimize your monthly payments, buying a used car is one of the wisest financial decisions you can make.

Buying a used car may not only help you save money up front, but it may also help to cut dollars down the road. Here are a few ways that saving money can help you save big bucks each month or year.

Value Depreciation

The moment you drive a new car off the lot, the value of the car decreases significantly. New cars have a higher sticker price simply because they are new. Being new, the retain all of their original warranties, even if they have been dealer model cars and have several thousand miles on them as a result of the test drives they’ve undergone. In many cases, you’ll pay more money for a new car simply for the fact that it can be called a “new” car and you can be the first owner of the car.

However, when you drive a used car in Ottawa off of a dealer’s lot, the used car does not decrease as significantly in value.  The car has already been owned, so you won’t be paying for the right to declare that you are the original owner. However, you may still be eligible for warranties, especially dealer warranties.

Now, you should know that if you go to sell that used car in Ottawa down the road, the buyer may prefer to buy a used car that has only been owned by one previous owner. The fewer owners, the more the owner knows about the history of the car, such as damage, drivability, and more. Therefore, you may have a slightly harder time selling a used car for a higher rate if you are the second user.

Warranty

Most used cars come with a warranty from the dealer. Many used cars are also certified from the manufacturer. In order for a used car to be a certified used car, the manufacturer (or dealership representing the manufacturer) will put the car through a multi-point inspection in order to ensure that the car is in tip-top shape and suitable for driving for years to come. Therefore, look for a certified used car and/or a used car that still has a warranty.

When it comes time for you to buy a used car in Ottawa, you’ll have plenty of options in front of you. Many people choose to buy their used cars through private dealers, such as one that they might find through a Classified ad or Internet auction site. Other people choose to buy their used cars from a dealer. Of course, we always recommend that you buy your used cars from a dealer, but it’s not just because that’s our business; it’s because we have an interest in your best interests.

Many people turn to private sellers because private sellers may be in a better position to negotiate for a lower sell price. However, a private dealer does not offer the wealth of security, safety, and long-term care that a dealer can offer. Also, in our experience, we have found that our rates per car are consistently competitive with private sales, but private sales don’t offer the ad-ons that we can. Here are some reasons why we recommend that people buy their used cars from a dealer rather than a private seller.

Inspection

We always put our cars through a multi-point inspection in order to ensure that the vehicles are road-worthy and safe. This multi-point inspection includes a bumper-to-bumper review by one of our trained technicians that will be looking for issues with the body of the car, frame of the car, powertrain, engine, and more. Through this careful inspection, we help to ensure that all of our customers are safe when they drive away in our cars.

Financing

We offer financing for all buyers, regardless of their credit score or credit history. This financing is competitive with national rates and can help buyers get the car of their dreams affordably. Each of our dealers is trained to review your credit history and budget in order to match you with a car that you can practically afford.

Warranty

Most dealers, like Import Motors, can offer warranties for used cars. These warranties sometimes come from the vehicle manufacturer as long as the vehicle has been through a careful used car certification process. Other warranties are offered directly through the dealer. Check with us to find out more about our extended warranty program options as well.
