Buying a used car has tons of benefits; they usually have a lower price tag, hold their value for a longer amount of time, and most dealerships (including ours) have a larger variety for you to choose from.

Extended warranties generally provides similar terms to the manufacturer’s warranty that would come with a new vehicle. If you purchase a new car, extended warranties typically begin after the manufacturer’s warranty ends. With a used car, the extended warranty begins once the customer takes ownership of the car.
