What’s the Benefit of Buying Used?

There are plenty of benefits to buying a used car that shoppers should know about. A prime advantage of buying used vs. new is that used cars do not depreciate like a new car does.

New vehicles depreciate after leaving the lot, as they are no longer “new,” but a used vehicle already has a few miles on it, and so its value is more secure.

Another advantage is that used cars let you keep your options open. These vehicles can still have a lot of the innovative, modern features of fresh, off-the-lot cars, and you have a wider variety of models, types, and years to pick from with used cars.

How Do I Buy a Used Car?

In the current market, there is no one way to go about buying a used car, but working with a dealership remains one of the best tried-and-tested methods, especially when compared to buying from an individual seller.

To start, you can find a used car online right on our dealership’s website. Once you get a good look at the pictures and specs of our inventory, you can then stop by our lot to see some of these beautiful vehicles in person.

Working with our dealership means that you have more opportunities for flexible financing in the payment plan. We also offer rolling specials and incentives to help you secure the model of your dreams.

What’s the Difference Between Used and Certified Pre-Owned?

Both used and certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles have had one or more previous owners. However, the CPO program gives a used vehicle extra warranties and inspection benefits, giving you quality assurance and peace of mind.

The BMW CPO program includes a 360-degree inspection by certified technicians to check for wear and tear, safety integrity, and more.

If the CPO vehicle you choose has any time or mileage left over from the original BMW 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, you will enjoy those warranty perks for the time and miles that transferred over. After that, you can enjoy the BMW CPO Limited Warranty with a year’s coverage and unlimited miles.¹

Whether you choose used or CPO, you can find a pre-owned BMW car you can rely on.
