Spring commencement is right around the corner, and you’re running out of ideas for what to buy your future high school or college graduate. They’re about to embark on the road to the real world, so what could be better than a car?
You’re on a budget, and they’re just starting out, so buying new probably isn’t the best option. Luckily, a used car, truck, or SUV is a great alternative. Keep reading to find out why a pre-owned vehicle is an ideal gift to give your grad before they turn their tassel.
5 Reasons to Reward Your Grad With a Used Car
Endless choices
You don’t have to shop new to get all of the options your graduate wants. In fact, if you’re looking for a model or feature that’s been discontinued for one reason or another, buying used is the only way to go.
At Zimbrick, we offer over 800 cars across a variety of brands, so your options will never be limited when you pick us.
Lower price points
On average, used cars are much cheaper than their newer counterparts, which is good news for both you and your grad. Even if you’re just putting a down payment on a car before handing over the responsibility, you’re still leaving your grad with a more reasonable payment plan. Since there’s a significant chance they’ll be paying back student loans, they’ll be grateful for all the help they can get.
Less depreciation
If you buy your grad a new car, its value will depreciate at a faster rate than a used alternative — especially in the first year. This might not seem like a big deal, but it makes all the difference in the world when the time comes for them to trade-in and upgrade to a newer model. Improve their resale value by purchasing pre-owned.
Improved conditions
Used cars nowadays are in better shape than they’ve ever been, thanks to advances in technology and engineering. It’s not unheard of for a car to reach 200,000 miles and beyond. So, while buying a car with a clean slate is nice, it’s not necessary like it once was.
The Zimbrick Difference
You can find a used car at almost any dealership, but at Zimbrick, we offer the best car-buying experience. When you choose us, you and your grad will enjoy a complimentary tank of gas, the CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, and more. We understand how exciting this time is, so we don’t hit you with any unpleasant surprises.
