What are the Benefits of Buying a Used Car from a Dealership?

Buying a used car has never been easier or more reliable. New cars' value depreciates lightning quick. With a used car, you can save thousands of dollars and still wind up with a great, reliable car! If you decide to buy from a dealership instead of a private seller, there are quite a few advantages.

• Financing - While used trucks or cars might be cheaper from a private seller, dealerships offer financing. If you can't afford to simply pay for a car upfront, no problem! At our used car dealership in Waukesha, our Wisconsin used cars are very affordable. And financing makes it even more practical in the short and long term!
• Convenience - Buying from a dealership is just more convenient. If you buy from a private seller, you must do all the research yourself. We provide all the information about the car upfront. We also conduct all the extra paperwork, like vehicle and title registration transfers. We also have one convenient location with many cars. Ewald Auto's used car dealership in Waukesha has used cars, used trucks, and used SUVs for sale of all brands on one lot.
• Transparency - The whole process is more upfront. Our used car dealership in Waukesha provides you with certified pre-owned cars and all the paperwork. This way, you know your new-old car will be reliable, unlike private sellers. We also have transparent pricing. With our Live Market Pricing, you can see how our prices are both fair and competitive.

How to Buy a Used Car from a Dealership?

Buying a used car from a dealership is more straightforward than buying a used car from a private seller. Even so, there are a few steps to committing to such a large investment, no matter who you get your car from. At Ewald, we want you to feel prepared for the process, so here are the steps you can expect to follow if you want to feel confident in your choice of a used car or SUV.

• Decide on a Vehicle - take your daily life and work goals into account
• Test Drive Without Commitments - test everything! 
• Secure a Loan Pre-Approval - (if needed)
• Stick to Your Budget
• Finalize your Purchase 

How Much Should I Budget for a Used Car?

As a good rule of thumb, you should spend no more than 20% of your annual take-home pay on a used car. For example, if you make $50,000 per year after taxes, you should plan to spend $10,000 or less on a used car to be practical. 

How Do I Choose a Good Used Car?

Choosing a good used car means factoring in the car's past as well as the future you plan to have with this used car. If you're searching for a used car near Waukesha, consider shopping with Ewald Kia since buying your car through a dealership gives you legal rights and transparency that you can't find with private sellers. Even when shopping at a dealership, you should check this list before making a commitment to any used model:

• Analyze the vehicle's history. We will automatically provide you with the vehicle history at Ewald Auto, so utilize this service by checking if the car was involved in any major accidents that could cause future trouble. 
• Take the used car for a spin; this is essential! While you're test driving your chosen model, drive at varying speeds. Check the engine, warning lights, radio, mirrors, and anything else you can think of. Make sure all the pedals feel good.  
• Don't buy the first car you like! It can be tempting, but you have to go with your head, not your heart. Check out multiple vehicles to get a solid understanding of what you like. 
• Check frame of the car. Look to see if anything is hanging down from the undercarriage and the car is sitting level. Check for dents, rust stains, or chipped paint. While you're at it, check the tire condition. The tread should be worn evenly on all four tires and not too worn. 
• Look at the mileage. The mileage shouldn't be too high or too low for the car's age. The average car drives around 14,000 miles a year. 

Are Kias Good to Buy Used?

Yes, numerous Kia models are highly rated for reliability, and the brand has been largely recognized for considerable improvements over recent years. Is there any advantage to buying a used Kia from a Kia dealer? Yes! Here are some sound reasons to buy a used Kia:

• Large Trade-In Inventory -- At Ewald Kia, we have a wide selection of classy, still reliable Kia's that have been recently exchanged for the latest Kia models. Buyers who are loyal to the Kia brand want another Kia when it's time to buy new, so they keep our trade-in inventory stocked higher than competing dealers. 
• Service History -- Your confidence in buying a used car will grow when you are aware that it's a local trade and that Ewald Kia has all of the service records on the vehicle.
• Certified Pre-Owned -- All of our used cars are ready for purchase since before we show them on our lot, they must undergo a multi-point inspection by Certified Kia Technicians. If anything is wrong, we'll fix it. Our cars are all conditioned for CPO eligibility, even if you don't specifically choose to purchase a CPO vehicle! Even so, it's in your best interest to talk to our product specialists about the special benefits and warranty of Kia's CPO program.
