Why a Used Car is Great for Going Back to School

At Roughlock Auto, you’ll find used cars in the Rapid City area that you can really rely on. But what makes these vehicles such a great pick for all your back-to-school driving needs? Visit our dealership to explore the many benefits of purchasing pre-owned and to find the perfect model for your next semester.

You’ll Save Money

Back-to-school season can be pricey, and the last thing you want to worry about is making your monthly car payments. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle, you’ll see significant savings, which you can put back into all your new school year needs. Pre-owned vehicles have lower down payments and smaller monthly payments, and because you’ll be able to pay them off more quickly, you’ll owe less in accrued interest costs over time.

More Vehicles Are Available in Your Budget

With all those savings, there will be more vehicles available within your budget. Rather than picking out a vehicle for the price, you can take home a car, truck, or SUV you really love — and one that meets all your back-to-school driving needs. Find a compact sedan for parking on campus or a family vehicle with room for carpooling, all within your budget.

You’ll Have Lower Depreciation Rates

When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle, you’re planning ahead for new semesters in the future. That’s because pre-owned vehicles have a much lower rate of depreciation than new cars, or value loss over time. When you go to sell your current pre-owned vehicle, you’ll see more of your vehicle value returned to you, and that means capital for the next ride.
