Are you looking for a pickup truck on a modest budget? Or perhaps you’ve got a lot of other expenses to think about and don’t want the added cost of purchasing a new model? We’ve got the perfect solution for you with our large selection of quality used trucks. Opting for a pre-owned pickup comes with many benefits. Here are just a few.
One of the most obvious benefits about selecting a used mid-sized or full-sized pickup over one that’s just rolled off the manufacturer’s assembly line is that you’ll make big savings. New trucks depreciate by around 20 percent the moment they’re driven off the dealership lot. Over the course of the first one to two years of use, vehicles typically depreciate by between 30 and 40 percent. That translates into thousands of dollars in savings if you pick a used model over a new one. Used vehicles still depreciate over time, but it happens at a much slower pace.
With a less expensive vehicle to pay for, you may be able to secure better terms on your auto loan or agree to a smaller down payment as part of the purchase agreement. There’s also a reduced risk that you’ll end up with an upside-down loan if you decide to sell the truck in the future.
A further benefit of opting for a used truck is that dealerships often have a wider range of pre-owned brands on offer. When you visit a dealership and take a look at their new inventory, it’s generally restricted to one or two brands. However, dealerships offering pre-owned trucks like ours offer pickups from all of these brands and more, allowing you to compare each vehicle and choose the one that’s right for you.
We also stock different configurations of the same truck. For example, we have work trucks designed to take advantage of a pickup’s maximum towing capacity, and others configured to accommodate a family in the cab and their luggage in the cargo box. That means we’ve got something to offer a broad range of customer needs.
If a particular truck model has already been on the road for two, three, or more years, you have the confidence of knowing that it’s proven to be reliable and safe. If you have any concerns, you’ll have many more reviews and customer experiences to read about online than you’ll find for a new truck that hasn’t been tested out by as many people yet.
If you’re a long-term truck driver, whether in your professional or personal life, you may even have experience of driving the same brand of truck and model year. This can give you the peace of mind of knowing that you’re familiar with the pickup you’re about to buy.
Here at Hiley Mazda of Fort Worth, we do our part to boost your confidence in our fleet of pre-owned pickups by maintaining them well. Our expert service team of factory-trained technicians performs careful inspections of each truck before it’s placed in our inventory, and carries out all the necessary repairs and maintenance to ensure it’s in good working order. Our mechanics use high-quality components, and the latest technology and equipment to ensure that all truck repairs are completed to a high standard. This allows you to be confident that all key parts of your pre-owned pickup, such as the engine, brakes, tires, and air conditioning, will be in good condition when you drive it off our lot.
If you have questions about the vehicle history of the truck you’re planning on buying, or you’d like more information on any repairs that have been carried out, you can talk to one of our helpful staff members. They’ll be able to provide you with more details about the work performed in our service center.
Our top-class service team can also continue to support you after your purchase. If you’re concerned about expensive repair or maintenance costs down the road, you may want to consider taking out a service contract so that our expert mechanics can assist you with any problems that arise.
A further benefit to purchasing pre-owned trucks is that you could make savings on your vehicle insurance. When an insurer calculates your monthly premiums, a major factor they take into account is the value of the vehicle. Due to the fact that used pickups are worth considerably less than new ones, you’re likely to end up with lower monthly insurance payments. If you’re working with a modest monthly budget, these ongoing savings can make a big difference.
Whether you’re saving for a mortgage or you want to invest money in other parts of your business, buying a used truck leaves you with more money in your pocket to do with as you please. For example, if your business needs several pickups to expand its operations, you may be able to achieve that more efficiently by purchasing a fleet of used trucks instead of new pickups.
Now that you’ve explored some of the great benefits to investing in a pre-owned pickup, take a look at our extensive used truck inventory to find the best vehicle for you. You’ll find further information about each truck, including its brand, cab and cargo bed configuration, model year, and trim. You can also learn how many miles it has driven.
