Jeep vehicles are renowned for their ruggedness and off-road capability. Models such as the iconic Wrangler and the Gladiator pickup truck are popular choices for those who love the outdoors, offering four-wheel-drive systems, ample ground clearance, and advanced suspension to tackle even the most challenging terrain. The Grand Cherokee provides a more luxurious take on the Jeep formula, with a comfortable ride, upscale interior, and advanced technology features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for your daily commute or one that can go off-road with ease, a used Jeep is a great option.
Mitsubishi vehicles are known for their durability, reliability, and safety. As a Mitsubishi dealership, we have an array of used models available. From SUVs to cars, we have a Mitsubishi to suit your needs and budget.
The Outlander is a versatile SUV with three rows of seating, a comfortable interior, and numerous technology features that make it ideal for families needing passenger and cargo space. The Eclipse Cross is a sleek crossover with a distinct look that turns heads, a quiet cabin, and enough space for five passengers and cargo. The Mirage hatchback and its sedan counterpart, the Mirage G4, are ideal daily drivers, offering excellent fuel efficiency and a low price point.
Nissan offers a wide selection of vehicles to suit different needs. The Altima is a midsize sedan known for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and good fuel economy. The Sentra is a budget-friendly compact car that comes with a long list of safety features. On the SUV side, the five-seater Rogue provides upscale interiors, reasonable cargo space, and a smooth and quiet ride. And for trucks, Nissan has the midsize Frontier and the powerful full-size Titan, which boast serious towing and hauling capacity. A used Nissan is a smart choice for its balance of quality and affordability.
Ram is a trusted name in the truck world, celebrated for its durability and impressive performance. The 1500 is a top-selling light-duty pickup with luxurious interiors, superior passenger space, and advanced technology such as the Uconnect infotainment system. The 2500 and 3500 are heavy-duty models for serious work or towing large trailers, offering powerful engines and high maximum capacities. Whether you’re buying a truck for work or weekend adventures, a used Ram is worth considering.
Below are just some of the many advantages of purchasing a preowned vehicle.
One of the most obvious advantages of buying used is the lower upfront cost. Preowned vehicles are generally cheaper than their brand-new counterparts, allowing you to stay within a tighter budget. For example, at Firkins Mitsubishi, we have a lineup of used vehicles under $20K. You can also get more features for your money, as you can opt for a higher trim level, more options, or a more spacious model without breaking the bank.
A lower price tag means you can apply for a loan with a lower monthly payment. This can make car ownership less of a financial strain and give you more room in your budget for other needs. You’ll also pay less sales tax compared to buying new. Insurance premiums for used cars are likewise lower in many cases, saving you even more money over time.
A vehicle takes the biggest depreciation hit in the first few years of ownership. According to Edmunds, a new car generally loses 23.5% of its value (based on the MSRP) after the first year and 60% within five years. When you buy used, you don’t have to take the hit as hard, so your vehicle will retain more value as it depreciates more slowly. This helps you keep more of your investment when you decide to sell or trade it in for a newer vehicle.
The used car market is vast, with vehicles available from many model years and manufacturers. This gives you more options to find the car that suits your lifestyle. You can find everything from compact cars for urban commuting and full-size SUVs that can fit the whole family to pickup trucks that can serve as your workhorse and performance cars that can take you from the office to the track.
The used market also gives you access to models no longer being manufactured. An example is the Jeep Renegade, which was discontinued after the 2023 model year. If you’re looking for a hard-to-find model or trim from Mitsubishi or other automakers, we encourage you to contact our sales team, who can help you with your search.
