When you’re in the market to buy a car, should you purchase one that’s new or used? Both have their advantages. Crescent Ford in High Point, NC, provides quality new and pre-owned cars, SUVs, trucks, and more. Their extensive inventory of new and used Ford cars ensure that you will find a vehicle that meets your needs

Should you buy a new car? Crescent Ford can tell you the benefits:

• Customization: If you want a red car with a leather interior, power windows, and a sunroof, then you’re likely to find one at the dealership. Buying a new car means you can add in multiple combinations of options that you want.

• It’s New: You’re the first owner of the car, so you know it has a clean history and hasn’t been mistreated by previous owners. In addition, you won’t have to deal with any strange odors—just that fresh new car smell.

• Technology: Since it’s a new car, it will have the latest gadgets already installed, and you can add more as part of your options. You’ll get to experience the latest in navigation and multimedia technology without having to install them yourself.
• Safety: New cars are made to meet the requirements for the latest safety standards, so you know your car’s safety system will be the most current one available. In a new car, you can feel secure on the road.

Before you make your decision to buy a new car, Crescent Ford wants you to know the advantages to buying a used car, too:

• Price: When you’re on a budget, buying a used car can be a good option. Since a used car will cost you less, you might be able to upgrade and buy a nicer model.
• Insurance: Purchasing insurance for a new car can get expensive. Since insurance rates are affected by the age of your car, you will get to enjoy cheaper rates on a used vehicle.
• Depreciation: The value of a new car depreciates 11% as soon as it leaves the lot, and 15% to 25% every year for the first five years. A used car won’t lose as much value.

• Preference: If you want a model or that is no longer made or options that are no longer available, buying a used car can be a good way to get them.
