Are you wondering, “Should I buy a new car or a quality used car?” Then we have the answer for you.

If you haven’t shopped for a new car lately, chances are you’ll get a hard case of sticker shock. CNBC ran a story about the increase in average car prices for a new car: “This past June, buyers paid an average of $36,902 for a new car, according to Edmunds, an auto-research firm and online buying guide. That’s $5,468 more than the average price of $31,434 in June 2013.”

Okay, so the cost of new cars is going up. Is that the only reason to buy a used car instead of a new one?

Not by a long shot.

For starters, insurance is cheaper. So not only does a used car save you money on the front end, it also saves you money during the life of your vehicle. And that carries over to lower registrations fees and a lessened depreciation value. Plus, at The Auto Connection you can get a quality used vehicle for just $1 down.* Talk about savings adding up!
