- A pre-owned car can give you more options.

1.A Pre-Owned Car is a Better Value.
In general, local drivers love that pre-owned cars can be an better value than their newer counterparts. Many shoppers may choose to put this extra financial wiggle room toward a higher trim level, use it to shorten their loan term, or simply pay less every month than they might have if they bought the car new.
The finance center team at your local dealership will work with you to help you get the right auto financing options. So, go ahead and reach out at any time with questions about buying a pre-owned car.
2.Pre-Owned Cars May Maintain More of Their Original Value.
Pre-Owned cars have already experienced the largest percentage of their expected depreciation, which is why they tend to be a better value.
This means that, if you purchase a pre-owned vehicle now and plan to trade it in at a later date, it’ll likely have a trade-in value that’s closer to what you initially paid for it than a new car might.
3.Pre-Owned Car Inventories May Include Rare or Discontinued Models and Features.
Unlike new cars, pre-owned car inventories aren’t limited to any specific model year. So, you’re probably more likely to stumble upon a rare car in the pre-owned inventory.
Also consider any models, features, or design elements you like that have been discontinued in modern automobiles. The vehicles in your local dealership’s pre-owned car inventory may include these features, which you won’t find in the new car lot.
Pre-Owned Cars and the Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned
Certified pre-owned (CPO) is something else to consider if you’re shopping for a pre-owned car. To qualify for the Mercedes-Benz CPO program, these pre-owned vehicles must be no more than six model years in age. They also must have no more than 75,000 miles in their odometers.
In addition to that, they come with the following benefits:
- Completion of a thorough multi-point inspection by a certified technician
- Limited factory warranty
- 24/7 personal roadside assistance
Plus, all Mercedes-Benz CPO vehicles on our lot include a complimentary CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ for your shopping convenience. This gives you a complete picture of the car’s life, including number of previous owners, maintenance records, mileage history, and more.
