There's something undeniably special about the new car smell— the fresh upholstery and the promise of new adventures. It symbolizes freedom and excitement, whether you're navigating daily commutes, shuttling the kids, or embarking on spontaneous getaways. Driving a new car brings a joy and anticipation that's hard to match.
In today's uncertain economy, making the right financial decisions for you and your family is crucial. At first glance, purchasing a used vehicle might seem like the more economical choice. However, the advantages of buying a new car can be significant, often leading to greater savings in the long run.
New vehicles come with the latest and most advanced safety features which provide peace of mind and a more enjoyable experience. From advanced driver-assistance systems to improved crash protection, new cars prioritize your safety. Additionally, new vehicles come with comprehensive warranty coverage, typically offering protection for at least three years or 36,000 miles, safeguarding your investment against unexpected repairs.
Josh Osborne, general manager at Volkswagen SouthTowne, emphasized the financial benefits of buying new. "While we sell both new and used cars, there's no doubt that purchasing a new Volkswagen can save you significantly in the long run, particularly on repairs and financing," he said.
With a new car, you can avoid the hidden costs often associated with used vehicles, such as frequent repairs and maintenance. New cars come with warranties that cover most repairs, allowing you to drive with confidence.
"Our new cars come with a great warranty for peace of mind, (four-year, 50,000-mile bumper-to bumper transferable limited warranty), low APR financing options, which we're offering now on select models, and affordable leasing options," Osborne said.
According to Investopedia, new car prices are stabilizing as the supply of vehicles increases. This shift enables dealerships to offer more generous incentives, such as cash rebates and low-interest financing options that make new cars more affordable than ever.
Currently, Volkswagen SouthTowne is hosting a Deal Days promotion from VW, featuring rates as low as 0% for up to 72 months alongside substantial cash savings available through April 2025. "Spring is a fantastic time to buy a new car, as we have larger discounts on new model years compared to even the holiday season," Osborne said.
New vehicles generally boast better fuel efficiency than older models, resulting in significant savings at the pump and a reduced environmental footprint. According to NerdWallet, the advancements in technology mean that new cars consume less fuel, making them a more sustainable choice for eco-conscious consumers.
Moreover, with federal tax credits and generous manufacturer lease savings on electric vehicles (EVs), many buyers are opting for new models over used ones. "We sold out of our 2024 ID.4s within weeks," Osborne noted. "We're excited to offer a great selection of the new 2025 ID.4 EVs, which come with $7,500 in federal tax credits, fantastic rebates, and 0% financing for 72 months."
