Is it better to buy a used truck or new?

There are plenty of great reasons to buy a truck for sale near you. Whether you're looking for a truck for work or recreation, Valencia Auto Center offers an unrivaled selection. For customers struggling to choose between a new or used truck for sale, we have some helpful advice to share. Let's review the merits of buying a used truck instead of a brand new model!

Is it cheaper to buy a new or used truck?

Hoping to save a little cash on your next truck for sale near you? Buying a used model is a great way to keep more money in your pocket. If a brand new Ford in Valencia isn't in your price range, don't despair! You'll find that a used Ford truck can be much more affordable. With our high standards for quality and condition, there's no reason to fear buying a used Valencia Chevy truck.

Not only are used trucks less expensive to buy, they also hold their value at a better rate. While a new Valencia Ram truck will depreciate at a rapid pace for the first years of its life, a used Ram truck won't bleed value as fast. You'll save money otherwise lost to the new-car depreciation cycle.

To top it off, used trucks for sale are also cheaper to insure. Since it's less expensive to replace a used GMC in Valencia than a new GMC truck, you'll enjoy lower insurance premiums. Over the course of a full year, these savings add up to a significant amount!

How many miles is too much for a truck?

All of the used trucks for sale at Valencia Auto Center are in exceptional condition. However, it's important to understand the lifespan of the average truck for sale near you before you commit to a used model. For gas-powered trucks, look for used trucks with fewer than 100,000 miles logged. While today's trucks are built to last, you'll get the best value and longevity from a gas truck with under 100,000 miles. For a diesel truck, it's okay to choose a model with significantly higher mileage. Since diesel trucks last much longer than gas trucks, you can opt for a used diesel truck with over 200,000 miles and still enjoy many years of use.

What is the most reliable truck to buy?

You want to buy a truck for sale near you that will last for the long haul. Fortunately, modern trucks last longer than ever before! Here are some of our favorite used trucks for sale for drivers with light-duty needs.

  • Used Ford F-150 - The iconic, best-selling Ford in Valencia needs no introduction. You'll have plenty of options for configurations and trim levels to find the ideal model.
  • Used Chevy Silverado 1500 - This Valencia Chevy truck is praised for its reliability and performance.
  • Used Ram 1500 - If you're looking for a used truck with a handsome cabin, this Valencia Ram won't disappoint!
  • Used GMC Sierra - Brawny powertrains abound in this popular GMC in Valencia. The GMC Sierra also consistently places in the top five in the Vehicle Dependability Study by J.D. Power.
