If you’re thinking about buying a used luxury car, you’ll have a few options as to where to start your search. These include buying from a private party, visiting a traditional dealership, browsing the inventory on a car buying website, or visiting a luxury dealership that sells the kind of car you want.
So what is the best place to buy used luxury vehicles?
Some may say online or from a private dealer because they might get the vehicle at a slightly lower price—but the truth is that small savings is not going to be worth what you give up by choosing an option other than the luxury car dealership.
Why Luxury Car Dealerships are the Best Place to Buy Used Luxury Vehicles
When you choose a luxury dealership, you’ll enjoy a pleasant car-buying experience for many reasons, including:
They Care About Their Brand
If you’re buying a used Volvo, a Volvo dealer is unlikely to sell you a pre-owned Volvo that will shed a negative light on their brand. They’ll make sure the vehicle they sell is in impeccable order both mechanically and cosmetically and will go the extra mile to make sure you’re satisfied with the car even after the deal is done.
They Know the Vehicles
Before buying, it’s helpful to discuss any vehicles you’re considering with knowledgeable professionals—and no one will know the cars better than the staff at the luxury dealership. They’ll know it all, from general information to the minutiae of the difference between the Volvo V60 and the V60 Cross Country, and their knowledge can make your decision easier.
Better Customer Service
Luxury car dealerships want to make sales, but they also want to build relationships that last. They’ll be willing to help you choose the luxury SUV that’s right for you, and if they don’t have it, they won’t try to sell you something that doesn’t fit your needs.
You Know Where to Find Them
Who would you call if you had a problem with a car sold by a private seller? Or do you really want to be on hold waiting for a faceless voice from a car-buying website? Of course not! If you have a problem with your used luxury vehicle, it's much easier to be able to simply drive over to the dealership to take care of it.
Easier Trade-In When You’re Ready to Upgrade
In a year or two, when you’re ready to either upgrade to another pre-owned car or buy new, you’ll likely get more for your trade-in when working with the luxury car dealership.
They Service the Cars
When you buy a luxury car, even a used one, it’s a good idea to have it serviced by an authorized dealer. When you purchase the car from a private seller or online seller, you’ll have to find a local dealer to provide service. If you buy from a luxury dealer, you can get all the work performed there as well.
