Why Buy a Used Truck in Oneonta, AL?
New trucks come with advantages such as warranties, the latest software and technology, and advanced safety features. Pre-owned pickups offer buyers many other benefits, including value, reliability, features, selection, and less depreciation.
Good Value
Cost savings is the top reason many people buy used trucks. You can find a high-quality pickup within your budget simply because it's had a few years of use. Not only will you save on the initial purchase price, but you'll likely enjoy lower interest and insurance rates as well. With all the money you save, you might just be able to afford that new ATV or boat you've been eyeing.
Reliability
When you buy a used truck, you have the advantage of being able to research reliability ratings and customer reviews to know how well that model holds up to towing, off-roading, and commuting. Other drivers have already put these trucks to the test. All you have to do is find one that meets your needs and has a positive performance history. Once you narrow your search to a particular truck, use a resource such as CARFAX to review its maintenance and repair history.
More Features
If the top trim of your favorite truck is beyond your budget in the current model year, shopping for used models might bring more features and packages into your price range. By buying a truck that's a few years old, you can enjoy luxurious accessories, top technology features, and impressive towing capabilities at a reasonable cost. High-end trims and exciting packages might suddenly be within your reach.
Greater Selection
When shopping for new trucks, your choices are typically limited to the current model year. If you expand your search to include used trucks, you have a broader range of options. At All American, we carry a wide selection of makes, models, and trims from many production years. They're also equipped with various packages and upgrades, allowing you to find a pickup that ticks every box on your wish list.
Less Depreciation
Let's face it, trucks depreciate the minute they leave the dealership lot. For this reason, used trucks can be smart investments. They've already experienced their most significant drop in value, meaning when you go to sell the truck, you'll see less loss in value.
What To Look For in a Used Truck
When you're shopping for a used truck, do your research and consider the following factors to determine which make and model best meets your needs.
Price
While used trucks are lower-priced than new ones, it's still wise to make sure you're paying fair value. Use a car valuation tool such as Kelley Blue Book to ensure you're not paying more than you should. By researching fair market values for various trucks based on their age, accessories, and condition, you can also determine which models fall within your budget.
Vehicle History
Ask for a vehicle history report on any trucks you're considering buying to determine whether they've been involved in accidents, had repairs, or include non-original parts. These reports will also reveal whether the previous owner kept up with preventive maintenance and where the vehicle was located. Location can be important if the truck was in a region where it might have been exposed to road salt, sea salt, or flooding.
Bed Length
Trucks come in various bed configurations. Determine how much bed you need before narrowing your used truck search. A shorter bed that's about 5 or 6 feet long might more than meet your needs. Plus, it's easier to maneuver in traffic and parking spots. If you plan to haul large items such as furniture, sheetrock, or plywood, you probably want a bed as long as 8 feet. Some shorter-bed trucks even have extenders to give you flexibility.
Capabilities
If you're in the market for a used truck, it's probably because you plan to tow or haul things. Research used trucks' maximum payload and towing capabilities, plus which packages and accessories they must come with to meet those figures and be able to tow and haul safely. By understanding a used truck's towing and payload capacities, you can avoid being underpowered or overloading your truck.
