When it comes time to buy your next vehicle, it's worth considering the many advantages that quality used cars, trucks, and SUVs bring to Franklin, TN shoppers. Pre-owned vehicles offer all kinds of compelling benefits, starting with lower costs that can save you money while still putting you behind the wheel of a high-quality, reliable ride. At Perkins Motor Plex, with locations in Franklin, Jackson, and Nashville, TN, we have an extensive selection of used vehicles to choose from.
Cost Savings
One of the biggest benefits of buying a used car is the cost savings compared to buying new. Furthermore, new vehicles start depreciating in value as soon as you drive them off the lot. By choosing a pre-owned vehicle that is only a few years old, you can avoid this initial depreciation hit while still getting a relatively new car. Your money will go further, allowing you to get more car for your budget.
Another way used cars are cheaper is that tax, registration, and insurance costs are typically lower on pre-owned vehicles versus their brand-new counterparts. All of this adds up to significant savings that you can put towards upgrading with added accessories, buying a premium model down the road, or add to your savings.
Wider Selection
When buying used, you open up a much wider selection of vehicles to choose from compared to only looking at the latest new models. A reputable used car dealership like Perkins Motor Plex at our Jackson, TN and Nashville locations will offer an extensive shared lineup of quality pre-owned vehicles in different makes, models, trim levels, colors, and more. This diverse selection makes it easier to find the perfect car to meet your needs and preferences.
We have a large variety of used cars available at both our Jackson and Nashville locations in Tennessee. We can easily help guide you through the options to find your ideal vehicle.
What to Look For in a Used Vehicle
Of course, when buying pre-owned it's important to do your due diligence to ensure you're getting a car that is reliable and a smart purchase. Some key things to look at include:
- Vehicle history report to check for any prior accidents or major repairs
- Mileage - generally lower mileage indicates less wear and tear
- Overall condition of the exterior and interior
- Maintenance records showing the car has been well cared for
- Remaining warranty coverage for peace of mind
Working with a well-established, reputable dealership like Perkins Motor Plex provides extra assurance that you are getting a high-quality used vehicle. We thoroughly inspect all pre-owned cars before putting them out for sale.
