Advantages of Buying Pre-Owned Cars


Samuel (Sam) Ketner started Auto House in 2008, after completing an internship and work experience at multiple car dealerships. Leading Auto House as co-owner and co-founder, Sam Ketner provided pre-owned car deals to residents of Salisbury, NC, and other surrounding areas such as Mooresville.

Buying a pre-owned car comes with many advantages. The first is cost: The buyer can get a pre-owned car at a cheaper price compared to a brand-new vehicle. Secondly, brand-new cars lose significant value after they are taken out of the showroom. However, this depreciation is not as prevalent with pre-owned cars, resulting in a smaller markdown if the owner of a pre-owned vehicle decides to sell it. 

Most states take into account the car’s value and model year to calculate registration fees, so this cost will be significantly less for a pre-owned vehicle. Similarly, owners will pay less to insure pre-owned vehicles, as this also is dependent on the vehicle’s age.
