Shopping for a Volvo? While you may be envisioning a sparkling, fresh-from-the-factory vehicle in your driveway, you might want to think about going a different route.
A pre-owned Volvo could be a much better option instead of buying a new model. Check out these four reasons why going with a pre-owned model could seriously help you in the long-run.
Saving Money
Take a look at any 2021 Volvo model, and then check out an older model, such as from 2018. What do you notice? Probably a huge difference in price, right?
If you go with an older Volvo model, not only will you save a bundle, but you won't be missing out on much. You will still find many of the same amenities and features in older models as in newer ones.
Avoiding Depreciation
In addition to saving money on the sale, a pre-owned Volvo will also help you get more bang for your buck. This is because the depreciation rate with new cars can be high – as much as 40 percent over the first four years of ownership. An older car may let you avoid that entirely.
Enjoying a Dependable Vehicle
Volvo cars have a stellar reputation for longevity. Because they’re built with quality parts and materials, they are designed to hold up very well. With proper service and maintenance, your pre-owned Volvo should be able to perform beautifully for many years to come.
Building Equity
Because Volvo models generally have long lifespans, they usually do a great job of retaining their value. As a result, you will still have a valuable car down the road if/when you decide to sell it or trade it in for something else.
