The Top 3 Reasons to Buy a Used Car in Illinois in 2022

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

It takes over 1,000 computer chips to make a gas-engine car, and twice that number to make an electric car.

That’s why, with the ongoing chip shortage, auto manufacturing has slowed to a crawl. It’s also the reason many dealerships have low or no inventory of their most popular new models.

But the lack of semiconductors has 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 (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. And certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles are a great value considering how much car you get for the money.

At Napleton Cadillac of Libertyville, before we list a CPO car for sale, it goes through our extensive inspection and certification process, and it must meet our high standards.

But we inspect all our used cars before we put them on our lot. We sell only quality used cars that we’re sure you'll be able to drive for a good, long time.
