Choosing New vs. Used in Three Rivers, TX

New and Pre-Owned Ford Vehicles Near Me in Three Rivers, TX


There are several amazing benefits to purchasing a new Ford, like an F-150 or Explorer, as well as purchasing a used car, truck, or SUV. Three Rivers Ford in Three Rivers, TX and nearby Corpus Christi, Beeville, Kenedy, and George West, TX has below some of the advantages and disadvantages to both, so your purchasing decision can be made easier.


Choosing New

The Three Rivers Ford team is going to share what to keep in mind when it comes to buying a new Ford car, truck, or SUV!


Advantages of Buying New

  • You are free to customize your new vehicle. Choose whichever trim, model, and colors match your personality.

  • With a new vehicle comes the newest and latest features, including powerful performance specifications, futuristic technology, and interior comfort like no other.

  • Since you don’t have to worry about any sort of vehicle history, you’ll have peace of mind knowing there won’t be as many maintenance appointments in your future.


Disadvantages of Buying New

  • You will have to prepare for this new car to lose a good chunk of its value once you drive off the lot.

  • You will need to pay close attention to the differences in insurance prices, as newer vehicles come with higher insurance premiums.


Choosing Used

Used cars offer excellent value for those who prioritize affordability and are comfortable with a slightly older model.


Advantages of Buying Used

  • Choosing to buy used can have a positive impact on your insurance premiums due to their reduced value.

  • You won’t have a huge loss in value, as used vehicles have already been through a good part of their depreciation.

  • Picking a more recent used vehicle means you can still get amazing, newer features at a lower price!


Disadvantages of Buying Used

  • A poor vehicle history may mean more service appointments in your future.

  • Pay attention to the vehicle’s mileage, because pre-owned vehicles will already have that balance.
