Car Shopping 101: Should You Buy New Or Used?

Car Shopping Time: But First The Big Question…

Are you thinking of buying another vehicle? Then it’s time to pop the big question: Is it better if you buy new vs used? After all, both inventories offer an expansive selection of some of the best vehicles in DuBois, PA—but can a pre-owned cruiser run as strong as a ride from our showroom floor—and is a new model worth the price? No need to worry, as today, we’ll help you make the right choice for your budget—get started by heading to Spitzer Subaru in DuBois, PA, and test driving some of your favorite new and pre-owned Subaru models.

Fit Your Drive To Your Needs: Why Buy New?

Do you have a specific car and trim in mind you want to command? When you shop for a new Subaru vehicle, you often have plenty of options, from colors to added features, as we often receive larger shipments of current model year cars and SUVs to choose from.

On top of getting a few choices in how you drive your dream car, new cars come with virtually no baggage. Since you’re the first owner, there’s generally no need to check a vehicle history report—and no need to worry about a previous accident that could impact how your ride handles or about previous modifications that could hinder your cruiser’s smoothness.

Also, keep in mind that with new models, you’re cruising with the newest Subaru technology. This means you’re driving with one of the most refined Subaru BOXER engines on the road alongside a responsive and updated Subaru STARLINK infotainment system to help you enjoy a modern ride.

Exhilaration At The Right Price: Why Buy Used?

When you’re debating between a new vs used Subaru vehicle, keep in mind pre-owned models typically cost less. So, you’ll not only usually need a smaller down payment and monthly payments, but depreciation has already kicked in—meaning, you not only save when you buy, but you’ll experience less of a net loss when it’s time to sell compared to a new car if you take care of your ride—and in some cases, you can even come out ahead.

Also, when you shop used, you’re still working with a massive and expansive inventory—and again, we’re happy to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. So, whether you like the older body style of the WRX or you want extra variety in how you drive, our used inventory usually has you covered (and if not, we can still help with our CarFinder tool).
