Is it better to lease or buy a used car?

Posted on June 24th, 2010 No Comments

The answer to the question of whether to lease or buy ultimately comes down to the car owner.

Leasing may be a better option for people who want to have a new vehicle every few years. Leasing allows these individuals to have the financial flexibility to trade in their vehicle every two to three years.

Purchasing the vehicle, on the other hand, gives the owner the benefits of ownership. This means that the owner will be able to resell the car at a later date. Even those who purchase a vehicle may have options for financing the purchase through a loan.

How do you determine the possible price of a used car?

Posted on June 16th, 2010 No Comments

When individuals consider purchasing a used car or selling their old car, they may be curious about the price of a used car or their own car. While the price of vehicles often depends on the condition of the exact vehicle, there are a number of resources that provide information about car prices.

Two popular resources are the Kelly Blue Book and the NADA Appraisal Guide. While these resources cannot quote the exact price of a used car or old car that individuals want to purchase or sell, they may be able to provide a general estimate. These estimates may be used as a starting point for negotiations.

Posted on June 14th, 2010 No Comments

When individuals consider buying a used car, they typically have an old car to trade in or sell. In some cases, individuals will sell their old cars to third-parties.

In other cases, they will trade in their car toward the purchase of a used car. The trade-in vehicle can help reduce the price of a used car. It also may or may not be worth as much as selling the old car to a third party.

If you are considering doing a trade in for your next used car purchase, visit one of our eleven Austin locations of Chapman Motor Sales.
