Late Model Cars Can Be A Great Investment!

Buying a vehicle that is an upgrade to you doesn’t mean that it has to be brand new. In fact, a lot of people cannot afford to purchase a brand new car or finance in through the bank based on their credit score. Deciding to purchase late model cars is a much better option for just about anyone looking to upgrade their current vehicle. Late model cars are usually just a few years old and still have all of the great features a brand new car would have. If you are in or around El Paso, Sport Auto Center has a great inventory of late model cars for you to consider purchasing.

Less Than Desirable Credit? Really Isn’t A Problem

So why invest your money in a late model car rather than a new one? Well, the first reason is pretty obvious. Not everyone can afford to shell out the money it takes to purchase a brand new car off of the lot. If you want a good price you generally have to have excellent credit. People can have differing credit for a number of reasons. Some people also do not want to finance through the bank and pay the interest that accumulates on top of original cost. For those in this situation, purchasing a late model car can be a great secondary option. Late modeled cars are usually only a few years old and have much of what a brand new car will have. This is why even on a budget you too can have a reliable car that will get you from point A to point B.

Good Car With Latest Technology

A high-quality used vehicle has already depreciated at its most significant measures, which means you can get an awesome car for a reasonable price. Late model cars will offer you the best and latest in technology. You will most likely be able to have a stereo system, Bluetooth, phone capabilities, and touch screen functions. On top of that, you will probably find a vehicle with the best safety features too. This can be very important to people with kids. Think auto breaking, alarm systems, auto locking seatbelts, and much, much more. A car that is only a few years old will generally be low in miles and be mechanically sound as well. Purchasing this type of car can be a win-win situation for you and your family.

Sport Auto Center Has Got The Inventory You Need

So along with all of what has discussed above, you will also have lower car and insurance payments. Usually, with new cars, insurance may be much higher. With late model cars, your insurance should be generally lower and not cause you as much stress. If you are in El Paso and need a great vehicle upgrade, Sport Auto Center can assist you today. We have an excellent variety of inventory for you to look at. All of our vehicles are certified pre-owned, generally low in miles, and come with a CarFax report.

Late Model Cars are the Way To Go!

We are all about the newest models and versions in the United States. Sure, an iPhone 4 can get us by alright…but when we compare it to an iPhone 7, we might as well be living in the Stone Ages. And sure, there is nothing wrong with having a classic taco when we go through the drive-thru at Taco Bell. But compared to a Crunch Wrap Supreme, a taco really feels like a downgrade. When it comes to buying used cars, it can be easy to settle for older models and low-grade technology. But with a plethora of gently used, late model cars available, no one should feel forced to settle for less than the best or latest. Here are a few reasons why you may want to consider purchasing a late model car.

What Does the Term “Late Model Car” Refer To?

When referring to vehicles, "late model" means "recent." In 2017, a late model Honda Accord would be the ninth generation, which was introduced in 2012. Because recent models share a lot of design features, the latest models of the last three to five years typically resemble each other. When you jump back ten years, however, you start to notice significant differences in technology. Compared to buying an older version (think generation six of the Honda Accord) buying a used, late model car has several benefits.

The Benefits of Buying a Used, Late Model Car

Some car shoppers have the desire and the means to buy a new car, but the value of a new car doesn’t last long. In fact, its value will wear off before that “new car smell” does! Experts state that a new model loses up to 11 percent of its value the very moment it is driven off the lot. Even though the cutting edge technology that comes with a new car is a huge incentive for buying new, the deprivation of new cars has several people looking for an alternative.

Used, late model cars are one alternative to consider. When purchased from a dealer, such as Sport Auto Center, these models are typically certified as pre-owned. This means that their mileage, mechanical condition, and body meet or exceed the dealer’s standards. Not only are used late model cars less expensive than the new versions, but they also depreciate at a much lower rate/ Because they have already been driven off the lot once, you get a steal of a price and don’t lose that initial 11 percent. As an added bonus, some of these cars are still under warranty! Make sure to ask your dealer if this is the case with any of your favorite vehicles.

Don’t Settle For an Overpriced Car

If you want to the newest model but don’t want to settle for an overpriced car, a late model vehicle is the way to go! When you visit our El Paso service center, you will be sure to find a variety of quality Certified Pre-Owned Cars at a variety of price ranges. Our sales team will work with you to find a car that is ideal for your lifestyle and budget. Don’t settle - contact us today!

Are Late Model Cars A Good Choice for Me

When you decide to buy a ‘new to you’ car, you may be torn on whether or not to buy new or used. While there are pros to both, if you are on a specific budget, late model cars may be a good choice for you. Late model cars can be in great condition and offer you a great ride for a great value. If you live in the El Paso area and want to find a used car dealership that you can truly trust, Sport Auto Center is the one for you.

Late model cars that are a few years old with low mileage are a killer deal for anyone on a budget looking for a nice car. We understand that buying a used car comes with its own set of worries and concerns. We want to make sure our customers are confident with the cars we offer and sell.

You Will Avoid High Prices And Long Term Commitments

The great thing about investing in a late model car is that it will still be close to new, just without the high price of a brand-new car. This is great for any buyer looking for a used car because chances are it will still have great technology and navigation like brand new cars today. New cars may feel luxurious but can come with high payments and outstanding insurance costs. With a late model car, you will be able to comfortably stay in budget and pay a lower monthly insurance bill. These are all great aspects of buying and owning a used car that may only be a few years old.

Check The Mechanics Of The Car

The only thing to be weary of when purchasing a used car, it making sure there is nothing mechanically wrong with it. A CarFax can help with this kind of important information when it comes to the overall health of your car. Another option is to have a mechanic come look at it before you decide to purchase. If you have a friend or family member who is a car mechanic or can spot problems, it might be best to have them take a look before you decide you want to buy it. However, with Sport Auto Center you won’t have to do that. We are confident you will find our vehicles satisfactory and in excellent condition. Please call us today for more information on our current inventory!

Late Model Cars—Should You Purchase One

Whether you just got your license or you need an upgrade from your current car, purchasing a car comes with a lot of questions and the need to pay attention to small details. Interest rates, down payments, and bank financing terms are just some of the details you have to consider. One of the most highly asked questions when thinking of purchasing a car is should you buy new or used?

If you have decided to gravitate toward researching late model cars, Sport Auto Center in El Paso may be a good place to start. We are dedicated to helping you get into a “new to you” car as soon as possible based on your budget and wants.

Are Late Model Cars Worth It?

Some may worry about the quality of cars offered at used car dealerships or the amount of miles that may be on the car. Essentially, it’s so important to take into consideration the condition, age, value, and mileage of the car you are thinking about purchasing. Some may suggest that you should not purchase a used car but in the right situation it may be ideal for you to do so if you are focusing on a certain budget. The inventory of vehicles at Sport Auto Center are certified pre-owned and in excellent condition. We want you to feel confident about the purchase of a used vehicle so we offer free CarFax reports on our entire inventory on the lot. We offer cars of many ages as well as mileage, however, they are in excellent working condition.

Benefits of Choosing Used

As you can imagine there are many benefits to purchasing a used car. For example, if you are on a strict budget, you can find a car that is in great condition with an average amount of miles for a price in your range. This means you will save money on payments and have smaller bills each month or if you buy the car outright, you won’t be spending as much as you would on a brand new car. If you are very careful in your research you will also find a car with little to no mechanical problems and save yourself a large amount of money in the long run. Another huge factor when considering late model cars is the fact that they may still carry an existing manufacturer’s factory warranty. This is great news for someone looking to make minor improvements to an already great used car. Chances are insurance on a used vehicle will also be more budget friendly for you as well and you will be raking in a big savings overall.
