Explore our inventory of used vehicles at Watsonville Ford and find a model that suits your needs.

Why Buy Used?

It’s no secret that buying a vehicle is an investment, but new vehicles require a much larger investment. Granted they have a lot to offer being new, but when you buy a used vehicle there are a lot of benefits that most automotive shoppers simply don’t think about. That goes beyond the obvious, the initial cost. The next major reason is the dependability and warranty to give you peace of mind. The truth is you can find a used vehicle under warranty if you shop carefully and stick to model years that are within the last two years. Often there are warranties that are offered for used vehicles, but you need to check with your Watsonville Ford Dealer to see what coverage is offered for newer used cars or Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles. Other advantages of used vehicles are:

• Reduced Expenses: Buying a used vehicle means lower sticker price, less sales tax, reduced insurance premium costs, and lower monthly payments.
• Financing Advantages: Buying used may improve your chances of getting the financing you need and may result in shorter loan terms.
• Options and Features Available without Adding Additional Costs: When you begin your new car buying experience, the sticker price may be within your range if you choose a base model. Once you add option packages and features, you can expect the new vehicle price to begin increasing by hundreds or even thousands of dollars. However, when you find a used vehicle in our inventory that already has the trim or packages you want, you know that the sticker price will not increase because it will already reflect the options that are on it. That may put the vehicle in your price range whereas, if it were new, it may not have fit your budget.
• Slower Rate of Depreciation: When you buy a new car, you can expect the value to depreciate by as much as 10-15 percent within the first month of ownership. That depreciation will have dropped by 25-35 percent within the first year of ownership. A used vehicle will depreciate much more slowly so the value of your investment will last longer with proper maintenance.
