Used Vs. New: Why Consider a Pre-Owned Car?

But Wait…Is Shopping Used Better Than New?

The age-old question of car shopping once again arises: Should you shop for a new car vs. a used model? The full answer comes down to your budget and preferences—but for scoring epic savings while commanding a vehicle you enjoy, pre-owned rides gain a massive advantage in the debate. After all, the same car and trim in pre-owned condition (even with fewer than 1,000 miles) almost always costs less than the same model new. However, you still retain the same style and features—and often you’re not compromising quality when you find low-mileage options. If you’re looking for even more savings, our website has a filter where you can search for vehicles in your budget, including many that cost less than $15,000.

Keep in mind that when you shop pre-owned, you still have access to many of your favorite Ford models—and often many discontinued vehicles and trims. So, if you were a fan of the Focus or Fiesta, you’ll often find a trim pop up in our inventory if you keep checking in. Meanwhile, Ford icons like the F-150 pickup enter our inventory often to help you work and play in rugged style. If muscle-styled performance is more to your tastes, the Mustang is another common entry in our inventory to help you embrace joyful thrills. Even if want to command sleek efficiency, the Ford Edge often awaits you to get behind the wheel—and that’s barely the surface of the models you’ll often come across in our used car inventory in Lake City.

Colossal Selection—Even Bigger Savings

The opportunities don’t end with our massive pre-owned vehicle inventory—we have savings awaiting you as well with our used car specials. However, you’ll want to act fast, as these rides don’t sit in our inventory for long—and our offers update frequently, so keep an eye out and make your move fast when you see your dream car in the selection.
