These days it feels so overwhelming trying to figure out what car is right for you, what brands are reliable, and especially when looking for a used car, the question is always will the car stand the test of time. As an informed buyer, the decision of what used car to buy feels impossible, but with experience in the car market for years, there may be a pretty good one to make. You see, trying to buy a used car in 2021 is crazy with all the decisions to be made, but it seems more and more apparent that a used Toyota is the best choice. Let’s dive in on a couple of reasons why a used Toyota is a perfect choice.
Toyotas Are Super Reliable
Think about all the old cars you see on the road these days. There is a reason so many of them are Toyotas. A Toyota can top 100k miles, and in many instances, above 300k miles. A true testament to how much Toyota cares about their cars is the ability to pass the test of time. With the widespread popularity of the brand for decades, it’s been tested over and over again. You see, Toyota cars have always been carefully planned and tuned for reliability so they can hold their value as long as possible. Toyota built a reputation over the years for being the most reliable car brand in the world, which is the best thing you can ask for out of a used car.
Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Program
Buying a used Toyota here in Oakdale is valuable because you can take advantage of the Certified Pre-Owned Program. With this program, lemons are practically unheard of due to Toyota’s 160 point inspection ensuring that every part of the car is up to code and works well. More importantly (for the skeptics out there) is the warranty they offer for all Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. Long gone are the days of taking all the risks as a buyer of used cars. Now you can bring your car back to the dealership to fix issues or take advantage of their 24-hour roadside assistance! They will guarantee cars are less than six years old and 85,000 miles before they ride off the lot to make sure you’ve got plenty of time left with the vehicle. It’s an excellent way of buying a used Toyota.
Money Savings
We all know that the value of a car drops once you drive it off the lot, which is why we go for used cars in the first place. You can avoid the initial depreciation and still get a phenomenal car (especially with a used Toyota). Americans save on average $14,000 for a 3-year-old vehicle over buying it new, and through programs like Toyota’s Certified Pre-Owned Program, you still get a warranty to take care of the car for you. Another often overlooked aspect of money savings is that your insurance premiums go down because they are based on the cost of your car (which is going down), saving you money month over month. To top it off, used Toyotas are known to be among the slowest in depreciating rates of any car, meaning you hold onto the value of your car for a longer period.
Vehicle History Reports
In today’s world, it’s incredible the information you can get from vehicle history reports from companies like Autocheck and CarFax, as they do all the heavy lifting for you. Simply type in the VIN, and you will find everything about the car. They go through hundreds of thousands of points of contact to find a comprehensive record of the vehicle’s previous history and give it to you in a concise format. You can easily tell who else has owned the vehicle, and how it has been treated along the way. Additionally, you will find out about any accidents it has been in or anything adjacent. There is no reason to worry about used cars when you have all the information, and it’s so easy to get.
