New or Used? Deciding on the Best Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM for You

The pros of buying a new car include access to the latest technology, a bumper-to-bumper factory warranty, and discounted finance offers. The newest vehicles are fully loaded with standard features like driver assistance technology and wireless compatibility with audio apps, which might be important for drivers who value trendy upgrades.

 

The pros of buying a used car, on the other hand, focus more on affordability. Used vehicles cost much less and typically have lower monthly payments. You may even be able to buy a like-new certified pre-owned vehicle that still has an outstanding factory warranty and upgrades from the previous owner. 

 

After you decide whether to buy a used or new vehicle, you will have to pick the ideal model for your lifestyle needs. Your dealership will have several models from Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and RAM. For some drivers, picking a vehicle comes down to brand and body style. You may also want to consider factors such as:

 

The estimated fuel economy of your prospective vehicle is an important element. Many drivers want to save money on fuel costs, particularly those who need to commute to work. When you are selecting a vehicle, do your homework on the EPA mileage estimates, even if you plan to buy an electric or hybrid vehicle. 

 

You will want to select a vehicle that passes every assessment during your test drive. Specifically, you should feel confident about how the car handles when you are behind the wheel. The instrument panel and audio controls should be easy to read and use, and the responsiveness of the car should match your driving style. Test driving a car for at least a half hour will give you an adequate impression.

 

Finally, you will want to pick a car that has adequate cargo space for your lifestyle. If there are frequently several people in your car, or you often need to haul large amounts, then buying a vehicle with more legroom or a larger storage area is a good idea. Ample cargo space can make commuting, road trips, and outdoor activities vastly more comfortable.

 

Buying a used vehicle can help you save on upfront vehicle costs and monthly payments, while buying a new vehicle will give you access to the latest technology. Visit Blue Ribbon Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram to check out the dealership inventory today.
