If you’re on the search for the perfect first car for yourself or a family member, consider a used MINI Cooper from MINI of Glencoe. At MINI of Glencoe, we make it our mission to match drivers with the right vehicle for the next drive and the many drives to follow, and there are many reasons first-time drivers will love our pre-owned MINI cars.
What Makes Used Cars Great for New Drivers?
You might be wondering if purchasing a pre-owned vehicle is the right option for a first-time driver or first-time car owner. The truth is, there are many reasons to consider a pre-owned model for your first car, including some of the following.
They’re Less Expensive
One of the biggest reasons that pre-owned vehicles make great first cars is that they’re less expensive than brand-new models. You’ll have a lower down payment and lower monthly payments, which means you can pick out a vehicle you really like. You’ll even have lower in-between costs, like insurance and sales tax.
They Have Lower Rates of Depreciation
Pre-owned vehicles also retain most of their value. That’s because most depreciation, the rate at which a vehicle loses its value, affects brand-new cars. When you’re ready to scale up from your first car, selling a pre-owned model will help give you the capital to do so.
They’re Easy to Research
First-time car owners want to know everything they can about the vehicles they’re taking home. Since pre-owned cars have been on the market for a while, you can more easily compare your model options and learn about potential pitfalls when it comes to popular vehicles. You’ll also be able to budget for future repair or MINI service needs.
You’ll find a wide range of pre-owned MINI vehicles right here at MINI of Glencoe. Schedule a test drive in a pre-owned model for your first car — and the cars to follow — at our dealership today.
