Should I buy a new or used car?

The truth is, there are benefits to buying both new and used cars in Oconomowoc. It all depends on what your priorities are. Check out this table to see whether you should buy new or used.

	New	Used
Budget	Buying new will always be more expensive than buying a similar used car.	If you buy used, you could get a higher quality car with better features. You may be able to buy a car that would be way out of your price range when new!
Depreciation	A car’s fastest depreciation happens in the first five years of its life.	A used car’s high depreciation years are likely far behind it. This means your investment will hold its value better.
Warranties and Roadside Assistance	Your car will be under warranty for at least a few years. It may also come with roadside assistance during this time.	Your used car will not be under warranty in Oconomowoc, but the dealership may offer a limited warranty. Ewald offers limited warranties on qualifying pre-owned cars.
Customization	When buying new, you can often customize a car to your exact specifications.	It is harder to find a used car that has every feature that you want. You cannot customize them.

What to look for when buying used cars

There is a strategy for buying used cars in Oconomowoc or elsewhere. If you're smart (and shop at Ewald Chevy), you can get a reliable car that will last you for years.

First, determine your budget. The ideal budget should be flexible but not so flexible that you can't afford what you buy.

Do your research. Think about your lifestyle and what kind of car would be best for it. What are your cargo or passenger space priorities, safety features, or flashy looks? Once you've figured that out, narrow it down even more.

Once you know what kind of car you're looking for, you can come into Ewald and test drive similar models. Take the test drive seriously. Check out every part while you're driving the used car around Oconomowoc.

The area under the hood should be decently clean and have no holes or leaks. Check under the car for leaks.

Check the car's frame to see if anything seems dented or wrong. Look under the car to see if anything is hanging off the undercarriage.

Thoroughly test the brake, acceleration, steering, and handling. Go on the highway to see how the car functions at high speeds.

What to do after buying a used car

We are happy to take care of most things after you buy your used car in Oconomowoc. Most of the paperwork, like transferring the title, will be done by us. But we can't do everything!

Insure your new car. If this is your first car, make sure you know about car insurance laws in your state. If it's a new car, let your insurance provider know so they can add the new car.

Keep your bill of sale. This bill is an essential little document you need when registering your new car if your dealership doesn't take care of that. If so, you will have to register your car at the DMV with the title, any loan documents, and proof of insurance before the end of the 30-day grace period.

Stay on schedule with maintenance. Ensure you know when the following oil change or tire rotation is due. If you want to keep your car for a while, take care of it!

So, there you have it. It's always good to cast a wide net when buying a car, but we hope you choose Ewald Chevy for your final choice! You need all the tips and tricks to get started on your hunt for used cars in Oconomowoc.
