When you are in the market for a used electric car, savings are at the front of your mind. Not only do you want to save money at the pump, but you also want to make sure you get a vehicle that retains its value. Here at Heritage Subaru Catonsville, we want to make sure you know what you are getting into when you buy a used or new vehicle, and that’s why we are here to give you the facts.
Why Choose a Used Electric Car?
Obviously, a new car has a lot of perks, but there used vehicles have two huge benefits of their own. The first is that a used vehicle costs less than a new one. For example, if you had two identical 2022 Subaru Legacy cars on the same lot, but one was pre-owned while the other was new, the pre-owned one will always be cheaper.
This leads directly to the second perk; new cars lose a ton of value as soon as they are purchased, while used cars don’t. The being a new car is worth something and losing that fresh-off-the-assembly-line quality means a vehicle loses up to about 20% of its value once you drive off with it. That can climb to up to 40% or more if you get into an accident within your first year.
Used Electric Cars at Heritage Subaru Catonsville
Used cars don’t have that same issue. In fact, in some cases, a used vehicle can actually increase in value if you take very good care of it. A used electric car will also retain more value when you factor in the money you are going to save by not having to pay money for gas.
