Why Buying a Used Vehicle is Better Than a CPO Vehicle
Used Vehicles Offer More Value Than CPO
When looking for a reliable and affordable car, choosing a Used Vehicle over a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) is the smarter financial choice. While CPO cars go through inspections and include extended warranties, they often cost thousands more than a comparable used car without offering enough added benefits to justify the price.
| Feature | Used Vehicles | Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Lower upfront cost | Higher cost due to certification fees |
| Vehicle Selection | More makes, models, and trims available | Limited to newer Nissan models |
| Depreciation | Slower depreciation, better resale value | Depreciates faster than standard used cars |
| Warranty | Varies by dealer, can purchase extended warranty | Included but raises vehicle cost |
At Huttig Nissan, we offer a wide selection of quality used cars, including the Altima, Rogue, Murano, Pathfinder, Frontier, and Titan. In addition, we carry used vehicles from other top brands like Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, Jeep, Hyundai, and Subaru, giving you more choices to find the perfect vehicle.
Why Choose a Used Vehicle?
Buying a used car over a CPO vehicle allows you to save money while still getting a reliable, high-quality car. According to Kelley Blue Book, "On average, used cars cost 30% less than new ones and 15% less than CPO vehicles" (kbb.com).
- More affordable pricing on all makes and models
- Slower depreciation means better resale value
- Lower insurance costs than CPO or new cars
- Greater selection, including top brands like Nissan, Toyota, and Honda
When is the Best Time to Buy Used Cars?
Purchasing a pre-owned Nissan early in the year is a great way to find the best deals and largest inventory selection.
- Year-end trade-ins increase inventory in January and February
- Tax return season allows buyers to put down larger payments
- Lower demand in winter means better price negotiations
- More special promotions and dealership incentives
According to Cars.com, "The first quarter of the year is the best time to buy a used car due to higher inventory and more flexible pricing" (cars.com).
