There are many reasons to love a new car, but did you know that there are also many good reasons to buy a pre-owned vehicle? At Lyon-Waugh Auto Group, we have plenty of capable and stylish used MINI cars for sale, and if you're looking for a fun driving experience, there are many benefits to buying one of these pre-owned models. The Price Price is the most obvious benefit of buying used. A new car depreciates, or declines in value, as it ages, so when you buy used, you take advantage of that depreciation and get your car at a lower price. This can allow your budget to stretch a bit. You might be able to afford a different model with more features. Buying used is one of the best ways to get “more car” for your money. The Wide Selection You might also find a wider selection of vehicles than you would expect when you shop for used cars. There are different models from different years. You'll find different trim levels and some vehicles equipped with ALL4 all-wheel drive. You can often choose between multiple engines as well. You don't need to custom order a new vehicle just to get exactly what you're looking for in a MINI vehicle. Lower Ownership Costs A used car can also have lower ownership costs. A new car can require more insurance coverage, like gap insurance. Monthly payments on a new car are also going to be more expensive. If you're in the market for a MINI vehicle, visit one of our New England dealerships and ask about our used cars. Our MINI dealers will help you find a model that offers all of the features that you need, at the right price!

Drivers looking for exceptional quality aren’t limited to looking for brand new cars. You can discover pristinely maintained and reliable luxury vehicles when you explore Certified Pre-Owned cars for sale here at Lyon-Waugh Auto Group. To get you up to speed on what you can expect from Certified Pre-Owned luxury cars, here are some answers to commonly asked questions. What Makes a Vehicle Certified? Each brand has slightly differing standards for their respective Certified Pre-Owned programs, but each generally requires the vehicle to pass a stricter multi-point inspection compared to other used cars. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are also under 75,000 miles and are generally five years old or newer. Additionally, only vehicles with only OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts are considered. Are Certified Pre-Owned Cars the Same Price as New Cars? While Certified Pre-Owned luxury cars provide an extra level of confidence on the road by being exceptionally well maintained, they still cost less than new cars. So even though you’re getting closeto new quality, you can forget about having to pay the new-car price tag. Does the New-Car Warranty Still Apply? Certified Pre-Owned cars that are still within the parameters of their new-car warranty will still have full coverage. Another perk of buying Certified Pre-Owned is that all programs have extended warranty coverages beyond the new car warranty, giving you extra peace of mind when you hit the road. Are Certified Pre-Owned Cars Worth It? Between the fact that Certified Pre-Owned luxury cars are more cost-effective than new cars, come with extra warranties, and have to be in top-notch condition, they’re a great value. Most programs also offer 24/7 roadside assistance, a free CARFAX® report, and a complimentary three-month SiriusXM® radio trial.

If you’ve never explored the idea of leasing a vehicle, you may be wondering what your options are, including whether or not you can get a used car lease. Luckily, our team at Lyon-Waugh Auto Group is here to bring you up to speed when it comes to your financing options, including your options for leasing a used car. What is Leasing? Leasing a luxury car is an alternative option to taking out a loan to purchase a vehicle. Rather than being responsible for paying back the full price of the car, you’ll pay monthly installments based on the estimated depreciation of the vehicle over the course of the lease, which is typically about 36 months. Leasing lets you enjoy all of the features that come with your vehicle while making lower payments than you would if you made a purchase. Can I Lease a Used Car? Many car shoppers make the mistake of thinking they can only lease new cars. In reality, leasing used cars is always an option – and it’s a great option. Since used cars depreciate at a slower rate than new cars, you can expect lower payments on a used car lease compared to a new car lease. Best Used Cars to Lease When you explore our inventory of Certified Pre-Owned luxury cars, you’ll discover a great selection of vehicles with low mileage that are available to lease. Want to enjoy a thrilling luxury sports coupe experience? Then consider leasing a pre-owned BMW 2 Series.

Each brand also offers attractive warranties to give you more peace of mind on the road. Slower Depreciation Of course, you already know that you’ll pay a lower price when you purchase used.
