Perks of Buying Used Cars in Lafayette, LA

We sell a wide selection of new Volvo models, and we’re proud of the incredible quality, safety and design of every new Volvo on our lot. We’ve helped many customers from Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Alexandria and New Orleans find their dream Volvo vehicles over the years, but we also have many pre-owned models in our inventory that have caught customers’ eyes. We love our new vehicles, but we’d never consider our pre-owned models to be inferior. In fact, there are many benefits to choosing a pre-owned car, truck or SUV, and we’ve listed some of them below.
Why Should I Buy Pre-Owned?
Greater Affordability
Choosing a high-quality pre-owned vehicle as your next daily driver is sure to make your wallet happy. Most pre-owned models are priced lower than new ones, and you may even be able to pay cash in full if you want to eliminate monthly payments. If you don’t have cash in hand, you can finance your pre-owned model with a small loan. Simply make a minimal down payment and pay off the rest with budget-friendly monthly payments. Plus, since you saved money by not buying new, you’ll have the flexibility to splurge on the model that has the exact features and finishes you’re looking for.
Slower Depreciation
Cars begin to depreciate as soon as they’re driven off a dealer’s lot. However, while there is a steep drop in value that occurs immediately after purchase (and in the first two years afterward), it takes years for a model to start showing its age (as long as it’s driven carefully, of course). After the first few years, a car’s depreciation levels out, so it’s a great idea to purchase a pre-owned model that is two or three years old. Your pre-owned model will come with plenty of recent features and technology perks, it will have already experienced its major loss of value and you’ll get a great price for it. That’s a win-win-win for you.
More Options
Every year, car manufacturers release new vehicle lineups, and whether the vehicles have been given total redesigns or just slight tweaks, there are always new models entering the market. This means that the pre-owned market is full of vehicles that have excellent infotainment systems, plush interiors, top-of-the-line safety features and more. Plus, you’ll have a variety of model years to choose from, so you’re sure to find the iteration that contains everything you need (and want) in a vehicle.
