The Buying A Used Car Checklist

Used Vehicles

Why Buying A Used Car Makes Sense

If you’ve decided to buy a used vehicle but don’t know what the next step is, stop by Ford of Port Richey and let us be of service. We’ll give you tips for buying used cars that will help you find the right vehicle and save you money.

While you’re here, our finance experts can answer your questions on auto loans, lowering monthly payments, and extended warranties. You can also look over our large inventory of quality used cars, Certified (CPO) cars and SUVs, and our selection of vehicles under $10K.

Save Big Money On Used Vehicles

Buying a used vehicle is a great way to save money. Used vehicles cost less up front, have lower taxes and fees, and are less expensive to insure than new cars. Choosing a used vehicle also means that you can upgrade to a better make or model or a higher trim level than if you were buying new.

There are certain things to remember when buying a used car, truck, or SUV. First of all, you always want to take a test drive, have the vehicle inspected by a certified mechanic, and run a vehicle history report using the car’s VIN or vehicle identification number.

When you buy a used vehicle from an accredited car dealership like Ford of Port Richey instead of a private seller, we take care of details like these for you. We have a large inventory of reliable used vehicles that have passed a car inspection checklist, have been tested by our certified technicians to make sure all systems are working properly, and have been vetted for poor vehicle histories.

Smart Financing For Used Cars, Trucks, And SUVs

Another good idea when shopping for used cars is to line up financing before you buy. Not everyone is able to pay cash for a used car, and if you’re one of those people, it’s good to figure out what you can spend based on monthly payments and interest fees—not just the car’s price.

At Ford of Port Richey, our finance experts will be more than happy to help you find a car loan and interest payments that work with your budget. They can help you determine the cost effectiveness of lower monthly payments vs compounding interest or higher monthly payments and paying off your loan sooner. Their goal is to save you as much money as possible.

The Benefits Of Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

A great option between buying a new vehicle and buying a used vehicle is choosing a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle from Ford of Port Richey. Our CPO program offers the best of both worlds—saving money and driving a like-new car.

Each of our CPO vehicles matches one of two specifications—Gold Certified or Blue Certified. Gold Certified are 6 years old or newer with less than 80,000 miles, and Blue Certified are 10 years old or newer with less than 120,000 miles.

Both Gold and Blue Certifications come with Comprehensive Limited Warranties, 24/7 Roadside Assistance, and FordPass™ Rewards Points to use toward your first two maintenance visits.
