When it’s time for a new ride, the first question many people ask themselves is: new or used? While that fresh-from-the-factory feel is tempting, there are plenty of reasons why buying used (or “new to you”) can be the smarter choice.
Save Thousands Right Away
New cars lose value the moment you drive them off the lot. In fact, most drop 20–30% in value in the first year alone. With a quality used car, someone else takes that hit — not you.
Get More Car for Your Money
The same budget that might buy you a brand-new base model could score you a used vehicle with upgrades like leather seats, premium sound, and advanced tech features.
Reliability That Lasts
Modern cars are built to last. A vehicle with 40,000 or 60,000 miles still has years of dependable life ahead, especially if it’s been well maintained.
Lower Insurance Costs
Insuring a used car is often cheaper than insuring a brand-new one, saving you even more every month.
At Miramar Car Center, every vehicle is inspected for quality and reliability. That means you can shop with confidence and get the best of both worlds: a car that feels new, without the sticker shock.
