A brand-new Mitsubishi on Queens streets is an enticing proposition for many drivers, but there are also plenty of benefits to consider regarding a pre-owned model. Pre-owned vehicles offer drivers reliable, attractive cars at a better price point than new models, and they are a lot more. Whether you’re looking for a new-to-you car on a budget or a great deal for your Manhattan commutes, a used car can be a great investment.

Below, the team at Northstar Mitsubishi has listed three of the top reasons why we think it’s a good idea to shop used cars. When you’re ready to find yours, give us a call at 718-814-9706!

    1. Cost-Effectiveness

For most Brooklyn drivers, price is a driving factor in finding their next car. The fact is, used models are simply more affordable than new cars, and not just in buying price. They also enjoy lower insurance costs, registration fees, and taxes. Finally, used cars depreciate more slowly than new models—new cars depreciate a lot in their first year and then less in subsequent years. Even buying a low-mileage car that’s a few years old will improve your equity!

Because you save so much when buying a used car, you can spring for upgrades you wouldn’t be able to afford on a new model, like leather seating or an upgraded sound system.

    1. Wider Selection

Even if your budget is under $10,000, you will find plenty of used SUVs, cars, and trucks at Northstar Mitsubishi. In general, there is a wider selection of pre-owned than new vehicles because there are more model years to choose from with the former. The upshot? You can choose a vehicle that better meets your style and needs with a used car.

    1. Proven Reliability

When you shop for pre-owned cars, you also have a wealth of user reviews, reliability studies, and other journalism that simply doesn’t exist for a brand-new model. To further your peace of mind, all of the pre-owned models on our lot have undergone a multi-point inspection by our service team—and be sure to ask about our certified pre-owned Mitsubishi models!
