Why Buy a Used Toyota at Toyota of New Bern

Jul 25, 2021

Are you ready for a new or new-to-you Toyota car, truck, or SUV in New Bern this summer? For many buyers coming out of the difficult year that has been 2020, a used Toyota might be the ideal purchase. Since 2021 is shaping up to be a great year for regrowth, more people need a reliable Toyota SUV or car to cart the kids to school, commute to a new job in Jacksonville, or visit the Outer Banks.

The great thing about Toyotas is their durability and ability to hold value. If you’re looking at buying a used car, you really can’t do better than a Toyota! Let’s break down the top reasons to buy a used truck, car, or SUV this summer.

The Lower Price of a Used SUV, Truck, or Car

It’s no secret that the number one reason to buy used over new is the savings in price. At Toyota of New Bern, we carry exceptional used Toyota cars, trucks, and SUVs that are just as great as the new vehicles on our lot. The only difference is their price and a few miles! At Toyota of New Bern, we also offer amazing used Toyota specials and give the best deal for your trade-in, saving you even more money on a used truck, car, or SUV.

Worry Less About Depreciation with a Used Truck, Car, or SUV

The cliché about buying a new car is that it loses 15% of its value the minute you drive it off the lot. The flip side of that common wisdom is that a used car ends up losing less of its value over time as compared to a new one!

Of course, the amount a car depreciates is dependent on its make, model, and popularity. A great thing about Toyota models is that they tend to depreciate less over time: a used Corolla, for example, will be worth more for longer than another used sedan. That’s due to Toyota’s commitment to building quality machines.

Better Insurance and Financing Rates Means You’ll Save Money Long-Term

So the sticker price of a used Toyota vehicle is lower than a new one. Did you know that a used RAV4, used Camry, or used Tacoma is also cheaper to insure and finance? Since they have a lower value, the amount you need to borrow is lower, meaning your down-payment is a larger percentage and your interest rate will be less. Plus, insurance rates typically reduce by around 3.4% each year of a vehicle’s age, meaning you’ll keep more money in your pocket every month!

At Toyota of New Bern, our financing experts will help you save even more on a used Toyota with our great deals. With a used Toyota from us, you’ll drive a car that’s just as good as a new one while paying far less in the short- and long-term!

Peace of Mind is Yours with Toyota-Certified Used Vehicles

One of the only downsides of buying a used car, historically, was that you couldn’t be sure of its quality. Toyota’s Certification program, along with third-party programs like CARFAX, provide the assurance that you’re buying a quality used vehicle and make lemons a thing of the past.

At Toyota of New Bern, we have plenty of Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicles that have all passed a 160-point inspection and come with an extended warranty that gives you peace of mind as you drive your used Toyota around North Carolina.
