Did you know that numerous financial experts discourage people from buying new vehicles? It’s hard for many of us to ignore the appeal of a new car, but you’re already ahead of the game; shopping for a used Chevrolet at Rusty Wallace Chevrolet is the first step in making a wise and exciting investment in your future behind the wheel.
Chevrolet has an extraordinary history, shaping the global landscape since the 1900s when Louis Chevrolet and William Durant launched the company to make automobiles more reliable and affordable. Today, there’s no question of Chevrolet’s success, with our inventory showcasing as much with models that offer exceptional value, innovative technologies, premium features, and engaging powertrains. A pre-owned Chevy isn’t an ordinary vehicle—at least not when it’s sitting on our lot. Like Chevrolet, we’re in the business of exceeding expectations.
Chevrolet’s rich history and stellar reputation add to this automaker’s appeal. Yet, there are even more benefits to buying a used Chevrolet than joining that legacy and reaping the benefits of a reliable, value-packed vehicle. The financial aspect makes this investment even sweeter—especially for your wallet. What do we mean?
New vehicles are enticing but immediately start depreciating when you leave the lot. A new car loses as much as 11% in value within its first few minutes on the road, which puts a small hole in your wallet because you’ve already overpaid. From there, you can expect a new vehicle to lose around 20% in value over its first year and, by its fifth year, to only be worth 40% of its purchase price. This value plummets if the vehicle is damaged (having suffered extreme wear and tear or a collision) or has a lot of miles under its belt.
Buying a used Chevrolet means avoiding this rapid loss in value and saving more money. Chevrolet’s reputation for reliability instills confidence when shopping for a used model because you know the vehicle is built to last. Moreover, you’re paying closer to the vehicle’s actual value rather than the new car sticker price. As a result, your money goes further and works harder, potentially putting you in a top-tier trim with features comparable to many new Chevy models.
