Why Buy A Used GMC?

Long-term affordability

As most people know, buying a used car is a more affordable alternative to buying a new car — at least up front. A common concern is that used cars may turn out to be more expensive because of rising repair costs, but that’s why buying from a dependable brand like GMC works to your advantage — and you can get even more peace of mind by purchasing a certified pre-owned model (more on that below).

Additionally, not only do you save on the lower sticker price, you also save on depreciation. A used vehicle has already experienced a big chunk of its depreciation, meaning that when you drive off the lot, you won’t have to worry about losing quite as much of your new ride’s value. And when you sell later on, you’ll get more of your money back than if you had bought new.

Finally, used and pre-owned vehicles typically have lower insurance and registration fees, making them even more affordable than they already are.

Certified pre-owned advantage

Buying used doesn’t have to feel like a risk. When you buy a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from GMC, you can feel confident that your used vehicle was the pick of the lot. To get Certified, a used GMC vehicle must meet a wide range of criteria. For example, it must be within six model years, have no more than 75,000 vehicle miles, have a clean title, and pass a Vehicle History Report (which you get for free upon purchase).

And that’s just the start. Once selected for the CPO program, the used GMC must then undergo a comprehensive 172-point inspection and reconditioning process. And when you buy a GMC CPO vehicle, you get two factory-backed warranties, a scheduled maintenance program, and even the ability to exchange the vehicle within the first three days or 150 miles if you’re not satisfied. If you have stayed away from buying used in the past out of fear of reliability issues, then GMC CPO is the way to go.

Lots of quality options

When you buy used, you get a lot more options than when you buy new because your choices are not limited to only the current model year. If you prefer the look of older GMC vehicles more than the look of new ones, or if you’re on the hunt for a specific older feature that has since been discontinued, buying used at Wilson Buick GMC can get you just what you’re looking for.

It may seem counterintuitive that buying used comes with more options. After all, don’t new models have more features and modern toys? But by buying from a premium brand like GMC, you can once again mitigate this apparent downside. When new, GMC models are often trendsetters, offering advanced technologies and innovative features not yet offered by mainstream brands.

For example, new and used GMC vehicles sport exclusive features like the MultiPro™ tailgate, whose six different configurations make loading and unloading the bed as easy as pie. Many GMC vehicles also feature a CarbonPro™ bed that uses carbon fiber composite materials to enhance durability. These and other exclusive features are just as relevant in used vehicles as in new ones and help GMC’s model lineup remain relevant for years.

In other words, by buying a GMC that’s just a few years old, you don’t have to give up on modern features. You can buy a used Denali trim or AT4 trim and benefit from industry-leading luxury and capability that will stay relevant for many years, all while saving money.
