Why Buy a Used Vehicle?

When you buy a new vehicle, there are definitely some benefits, but often buying a new vehicle is also a harder process as you figure out how much you want to pay and what features you want added. Buying new also means a much higher rate of depreciation. A new vehicle can depreciate as much as 15% in the first month of ownership, by as much as 35% within the first year of ownership. When you buy used, the rate of depreciation is much slower. When you buy used, you have more options available to work within your budget constraints:

• Lower sticker prices.
• Lower monthly payments.
• Lower sales taxes.
• Shorter loan terms.
• Lower insurance premiums and payments.
• Often easier to finance.
• Higher end trims may be easier to get in a used model, where your budget is concerned.
• If your used vehicle is only 2-3 years old, it may still have some of the original manufacturer warranties intact.

Toyota Certified Used Vehicles

If part of your concern is related to buying a dependable vehicle, perhaps your decision should be to buy a TCUV. With a TCUV, you get some additional benefits beyond just a used vehicle, because for a Toyota vehicle to be considered a worthy TCUV, it must meet certain criteria:

• No older than six model years.
• Fewer than 85,000 miles on the odometer.
• Must pass a comprehensive 160-point quality assurance inspection.
• Clean title and CARFAX report.
• Any repairs needed must be completed with OEM parts that are installed by Toyota-trained technicians.
