There are plenty of cars in the Dayton market, but how do you decide which is right for you—a new Ford car or a used model? If you’re looking for car on a budget, chances are you’re looking at used vehicles first. Is a used Ford right for you? Ask yourself a few questions before you decide. Do you plan on staying in your vehicle for many years, or do you want to get a different model in three to five years to take full advantage of the trade-in value? Do you need a vehicle for work-related travel outside the city or are you planning on driving more locally?

If you need a vehicle for high-mileage travel, new Ford cars may be the best place to start looking, but the selection available at used car dealers in Dayton, Ohio may offer you some of the advantages of buying new without the cost. Try looking for a recent used model with low mileage and some time left on the warranty. It won’t be “showroom new” but many models are very close; comparison shop with your favorite Interstate Ford dealer rep and see how the sticker price on the new Ford cars measure up to a low-mileage used vehicle. When you’re comparing price tags, don’t forget that price is only one factor—any warranty coverage, better gas mileage, or extra features are also worth money even if it doesn’t directly affect the amount of your car payments.
