Why Buy a New vs. Used Car in Golden Valley, MN

Lupient Buick GMC in Golden Valley carries an impressive inventory of new and used cars for sale. Our sales team understands that car buyers have different standards for their new-to-you vehicles. Some want vehicles with the latest technology and a full factory warranty, while others are happier saving thousands of dollars on a pre-owned car with fewer features.

Why Choose a New GMC or Buick

The benefits of buying a new GMC or Buick are many. New cars have the latest safety features like blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking assist. They also have better reliability than used cars, so they are less likely to break down. Their reliability is enhanced by factory warranties that cover everything for several years and thousands of miles.

Our team of finance experts has more options for loans and leases. Car shoppers cannot get leases with affordable monthly payments. Most lenders offer lower financing rates and longer terms for new cars, especially when compared to used auto loan rates and terms.

At Lupient Buick GMC Golden Valley near St. Louis Park, our team can help you with a custom order. With a factory order, you can choose the make and model, paint color, interior upholstery, trim, and options packages to build your dream car. With used cars, you can only choose what is available on the dealer’s lot.

Benefits of Purchasing a Used Car

Car shoppers also get several benefits from buying used cars. They have lower costs, so you can get a better model and trim. Certified pre-owned vehicles are in like-new condition with used-car prices. You can also save money on car insurance rates, sales tax, registration fees, and car loan payments.

You might be able to order a customized new car, but you have more choices with used cars. The large market of used cars offers several options that you might not find in the new-car market. You also benefit from the limited depreciation of used cars. Since they’ve already depreciated, cars lose value at a slower rate than new cars.

With vehicle history reports, you no longer have to worry if a car has excessive wear and tear. Vehicle history reports let you know the previous owner cared for the vehicle.

People with low credit scores can usually find affordable financing with reasonable interest rates for used cars. The same is not true for new cars, because lenders are reluctant to take risks with new vehicles.
