There’s nothing like a camping trip to make the most of your time off and there is no better way to camp than in your own RV. But these machines can be expensive, so consider stretching your dollar by buying your RV pre-owned. We here at C&R Auto & Trailer Sales know that can sound intimidating, so we’ve put together a few of the distinct advantages of pre-owned RVs, below. To learn more, or to see the pre-owned RVs we have for sale, contact our store in Tremonton, Utah, today!
The Money
As we mentioned, one of the biggest and most obvious benefits of a pre-owned or used RV is the savings. Every vehicle and machine undergoes a process called depreciation once they leave the lot for the first time, and that process means their value plummets. After the first year of ownership, an RV is significantly more affordable than it was brand-new.
But it gets better! Depreciation plateaus after that first year, so if you want to trade in or sell your used RV, you’ll get a better resale value for it. Add to that the fact that pre-owned RVs are cheaper to insure and register, and the savings just keep coming!
No First-Year Repairs
No manufacturing process is perfect, and if there’s a factory defect present in an RV, chances are it comes up and is addressed within that first year of ownership. That means you’ll never have to deal with the complexities and headaches that a warranty repair can cause or the frustration of getting that warranty to apply. Any manufacturing errors that may have been present in your RV are almost certainly dealt with by the time you buy it.
More and Better Options
With all the savings you get on a pre-owned RV, you can reinvest your money in any number of ways. One of those ways is by expanding the variety of RVs available to you. With a lower financial barrier, you gain access to different types and classes of RV that you previously couldn’t afford.
You can also use that money to invest in a higher-class RV. Even luxury models get put back on the market from time to time, allowing you to nab an especially classy RV without having to empty the bank account.
Low Risk
Last but not least, if you’re new to RVing, you probably want to start with a pre-owned model. Everyone makes mistakes, whether you’re learning to handle the RV on the road or struggling to get it level. Every bump and bruise your RV receives while you’re learning the ropes hurts you less if it’s a pre-owned model that’s already seen its share of scrapes.
