Why Buy Used

Many options await car buyers from all around Fenton and Lansing, Michigan, whether you want new or pre-owned. If you’ve been toying with the idea of a used car, we can help you discover why you should buy used.

LaFontaine Family Deal provides a wide range of desirable pre-owned vehicles in all makes, models, shapes, and sizes, so it’s an excellent choice for any driver.

Why Buy Used? Value and Affordability

A used car of any type offers so much value because the vehicle has already gone through the standard depreciation that new cars experience. Insurance payments tend to be lower, and the costs do, too. Even if the car is a year old, it will hold its value and satisfy customers.

There are used cars available to fit various needs and budgets. Take, for instance, our selection of used cars priced under $10K. These affordable vehicles could be an excellent choice for young drivers looking to buy their first car, college students needing to get to class on time, and others looking to stick to a budget.

Why Buy Used? Get Any Options or Features

Generally, pre-owned cars possess many of the same features as new cars. Sometimes, the models change very little from year to year, and often, an older model contains a feature you’ll absolutely love. You may even prefer a different model year's body style or color selection.

With a used car, you may expand your search to include more luxury cars or vehicles packed with high-tech or premium features. You’ll find more cars to love by choosing a pre-owned model. Feel free to choose a higher trim level or one with a sleek leather interior or the most intuitive driver-assistive features.

Give a Certified Pre-Owned Car Your Attention

If a certified pre-owned car appeals to you, you’re in luck. These vehicles, while used, must have the proper criteria and pass a rigorous inspection to become a CPO. Depending on the make, they must be under a certain age with low milage and undergo a stringent multi-point inspection.

You’ll also be granted a factory warranty, care coverage program, roadside assistance, and towing. This provides so much extra value, and you’re driving a car with low mileage that’s been put to the test. It also includes a clean car title and CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ for your records.
