Three Benefits of Buying A Used Car

Posted on August 15, 2022 in Our Community, Tips From The Pros

With chip shortages and less than desirable inventory on dealership lots, many prospective car buyers are turning used cars instead of new ones for their next auto purchase. At V&F Auto, we think the benefits of buying used are plain— but we spelled them out anyway! Here are three benefits of buying a used car:

The Savings Are Worth It

It’s typically not hard to do the math on when it comes to buying a used car— more often than not, it’s far more affordable to buy used. As an independently run facility, we can offer sales and auto services at fair and affordable prices, since we aren't working with the same overhead as the dealers. We do everything we can to make sure our community gets the best auto care— from purchasing a used car to coming in for an oil change.

Buying Used Helps The Environment

We know cars aren’t the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation on the planet, but everyone needs a means of getting from point A to point B— and buying a used car is definitely a step in the right direction when it comes to an environmentally friendly auto purchase. Participating in the circular economy of buying a used car goes a long way to preserving natural resources and reducing unnecessary demand within the new car industry. Plus, giving a car a second life is an exciting chance to make it your own

Shopping Local Supports Our Community

When you shop with local businesses like ours, the dollars you spend stay in the neighborhood— instead of being sent off to big dealership headquarters. Our locally-run shop is deeply invested in our community. By supporting family-owned businesses like ours you’re helping to provide local jobs and support our local Western Mass economy. We care a lot about getting sales and repairs right for our customers, because when we get it right for them, they continue to support us.
