Why Buy a Used Car?

While a brand-new car is enticing for Long Island drivers, there are plenty of benefits to buying a pre-owned model. So, why buy a used car? Pre-owned vehicles are more accessible—not only in terms of price point but also with a greater variety of makes, models, and colors. Whether you’re shopping on a budget in Queens or looking for a great deal for your next commuter, a pre-owned car from South Shore Mitsubishi is a great investment.

Below, we’ve listed three of the top reasons why buying a used car is a good idea in the Staten Island area. Keep reading, then contact us to schedule your test drive!

    1. Cost-Effectiveness

Price is a major factor in buying a car, and the fact is that used cars are simply more affordable than new models. When shopping for a pre-owned car, you can save up to thousands of dollars or more over buying new, leaving you room in your budget for upgrades like a leather interior or heated seats!

Used cars also depreciate more slowly than new models. A new car depreciates the most in its first year, so even buying a low-mileage used car that’s only a few years old can improve your equity significantly.

    1. Wider Selection

Even if your budget is under $10,000, you’ll find a wide selection of pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs at our dealership—in fact, a wider selection than the new vehicles available! This means you can choose a vehicle that better meets your style and needs with a used car.

    1. Proven Reliability

Buying a pre-owned vehicle also means you’ll have access to a trove of user reviews and reliability studies that just don’t exist yet for a new car. Plus, the used cars on our lot all undergo a multi-point inspection by our service experts before going up for sale. For even more reliability, explore our certified pre-owned Mitsubishi models.
