Enjoy That Brand New Car Smell

There’s no question that buying a brand new vehicle comes with the perk of that new car smell we all love, but there are many other benefits to buying new as well. The most exciting thing about buying a new car is getting the exact make, model, and features you want.

You can go for that Tourmaline Blue Metallic Atlas SEL Premium R-Line with leather seats and a Discover Media touchscreen navigation system with an 8-inch color display, then add available Blind Spot Monitor as an extra safety measure.

Buying new gives you peace of mind knowing that there’s no sketchy history to the car, and that the newest cars have the latest in safety and driver assistance features. New cars are also more fuel efficient and earth-friendly, with diesel engines running cleaner than ever, and more choices in hybrids and electric vehicles.

New cars can save you money on financing, as banks offer lower financing rates on new vehicles because they are worth more and have not yet depreciated. You can also save on maintenance costs because newer vehicles don’t need as much service and are covered by manufacturer warranties.

Save Money on Used Vehicles

Buying a used vehicle has its advantages—the first and foremost is saving you money. The up front cost of buying a used car is less than buying a new car. You also won’t be taking the car’s depreciation hit, as the biggest decline in value happens within its first year. Car insurance rates tend to be lower on used vehicles, meaning even more savings for you.

Of course, you may not be able to get the exact model, option package, or features that you want when you buy used, but items and accessories that are important to you—like a BeatsAudio^® stereo system—can be purchased from the Group 1 Volkswagen of Panama City Parts Department.

When you buy used, you can also choose a nicer model or higher trim level than you could afford if you were buying new. That often means you’ll be getting more safety, technology, performance, and style features for less.
