Why Used Ford Cars Are Great First Cars

If you’re looking to purchase your first car, purchasing from our used car dealership in Fort Atkinson, WI, can be an excellent option for new car owners for a variety of reasons. To better help you weigh your options, our Griffin Ford Fort Atkinsonteam has created this short guide.

No More Depreciation

When you buy a brand-new vehicle, you lose a lot of its value the second that you drive off the lot. Used cars are priced much lower since they’ve already had this depreciation factored in, so you’ll be able to pay much less for a genuinely great vehicle.

Plenty of Choices

Another reason to consider buying a used Ford carfor your first car is that you’ll have many more options. Not only do we carry a variety of makes and models, but you can also find older vehicles with exclusive paint colors or features that may have been discontinued.

Better Insurance Rates

Since the outright value of a used vehicle is much less than one that’s factory-new, you’ll also have lower monthly insurance payments. This can be a great financial bonus that lets you purchase a vehicle that was previously out of your price range, especially since newer drivers typically have higher insurance rates.

Reliability & Safety

Modern vehicles are manufactured to last as long as possible, meaning that many people trade their vehicles in before they’re truly past their best-by date. Many pre-owned cars come with top-of-the-line safety features, offering extra support for newer drivers.

If you want even more peace of mind, check out our Certified Pre-Owned Ford inventory. The Ford Blue Advantage program offers Gold Certified and Blue Certified models. The former certification requires vehicles to be less than six years old/80,000 miles and pass a 172-point inspection. The latter program offers cars that are up to ten years old with less than 150,000 miles, and they must pass a 139-point inspection.
