Things to Consider When Shopping for Pre-Owned Cars

Nowadays, there are so many quality used cars on the market that buying a new vehicle isn’t always necessary, especially when it comes to reliable brands like Toyota. There are a wide range of pre-owned cars available that come with extended manufacturer guarantees and warranties. However, before running out to your local dealership, there are a few things you should know.

As one of the area’s leading used and new car dealerships, the team from 1000 Islands Toyota has helped hundreds of happy clients drive away with a high-quality pre-owned vehicle. Below, we’ve gathered some tips and benefits we learned along the way that will make shopping for one much easier.

Some Benefits of Buying Pre-Owned Cars

• A Smart Investment: Buying a used vehicle can be a good way to help you stick to a budget while still securing the features you want. A well-maintained used vehicle can provide many years of service at an economical upfront cost.
• No-Haggle Pricing: Purchasing a pre-owned vehicle from a showroom doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in for excessive negotiation. Many used car dealerships provide fixed prices on their pre-owned vehicles, making the buying process much easier and more transparent.
• Trade-Ins Make it Even Cheaper: When buying a used vehicle, you can easily trade in your current car to make buying a pre-owned vehicle even cheaper. In fact, many local dealerships like 1000 Islands Toyota offer trade-in calculators online to see how much you’ll be able to put towards your used car.
• Proven Background Checks: When it comes to buying a pre-owned car, you’ll want to make certain that it has a clean maintenance history, with no accidents or other issues. That’s why many dealerships only offer vehicles that have CarProof reports, which contain information about branding, liens, registration records, accident history, claims history, and more.
