3 Benefits of Buying a Demo Car

Do you find yourself staring at the new vehicles on a dealership lot just wishing your budget had a little more flexibility? Do you also find yourself unsure of whether the used inventory has something as nice as you’d prefer? The good news is that there are some vehicles you might not have considered. A demo car is a vehicle that the dealership has used to offer test-drives for their latest models, meaning that you can get behind the wheel of a much newer car without paying the higher price of an all-new car. Read about the 3 benefits of buying a used demo vehicle here.

What Is a Demo Vehicle?

Dealerships use demo vehicles to allow potential car shoppers to test drive a vehicle before buying it. Instead of breaking the bank paying for a brand new vehicle, why not consider a demo car with only a few thousand miles on it, and the modern style you’ve been dreaming of? Check out these 3 benefits to choosing a used demo vehicle.

Benefit #1: Fewer Miles than Most Used Cars

Because the dealership only gives the vehicle out to dealership employees or interested customers to drive, the miles travelled will most likely be lower than that of a used vehicle. It’s important to consider who was driving a vehicle before you, but with fewer miles under the wheels, you might be able to score a deal on a nearly-new vehicle.

Benefit #2: Discounted Price From New Model

Scoring a deal might not be as easy with an all-new vehicle, but since demo vehicles have miles on them and are still considered a new vehicle, you’ll be getting something modern and exciting without paying the full price. Be sure to check out all the important systems (brakes, suspension, transmission) and ask about the vehicle’s maintenance before buying.

Benefit #3: Easily Available Vehicle History

Because the vehicle was owned by the dealership and records exist for everyone who has driven it, it’s easy to ask the dealer for information about where the car was driven and who drove it. If you feel confident that the vehicle looks nice and drives the way it should, you can definitely consider buying a used demo vehicle.
