The Top 3 Reasons to Buy a Used Car in 2025 in Metro St. Louis

If you have looked for a new car lately, you might have a bit of sticker shock. All the new technology makes cars more expensive then they were even just a few, short years ago.

But if you need a car to commute to work, do your shopping, get a hair cut, or drive your kids to playdates, we all still need to get around. And public transportation may not be convenient, or even an option.

If you're in the market for a car but you're not sure whether to buy a new or a used one, here are the three main reasons that used cars are such a great deal at Jim Butler Chevrolet.

Scroll down to see the main reasons to buy a used car.

The first reason to buy a used car right now is availability.

There are a lot of car dealers who are still struggling to have the new-car inventory they used to have. And many dealerships have low of their most popular new models.

But the things affecting new cars have not affected the used-car market.

In fact, used cars reflect what many people want in the first place. Supply and demand dictates that you'll find what you need when you shop for a used car.

The second reason to buy a used car is value.

We all know that as soon as you drive a new car home, it starts depreciating (that is: losing its value).

When you buy a used car, that's not really the case because most depreciation happens in the first two or three years.

Buying a used car also provides you with greater flexibility because manufacturers don’t set the price. Used-car prices are determined based on the specific model, location, trim level, mileage, and the vehicle’s condition.

That means that buying a used car actually saves you money.

The third reason that you should consider a used car is quality.

Today’s used cars are better than ever. They are a truly great value considering how much car you get for the money.

At Jim Butler Chevrolet, before we list a used car or truck for sale, it goes through our extensive inspection and certification process, and it must meet our high standards.
