Ram Trucks: New vs. Used and Which One is Better for You?

The worldwide microchip shortage has hindered many production quotas across the entire automotive industry. As a result, many consumers are opting to purchase used vehicles due to their increased availability. There are benefits to buying either, and no matter what you choose, you’ll still be experiencing the high quality that Ram trucks have to offer.

The Advantages of a CPO RAM (Certified Pre-owned Vehicle)

The term “used” sometimes carries a stigma with it, as we tend to think of anything previously owned as having outlived its usefulness. That’s why CPO programs are so groundbreaking, they completely decimate our preconceptions of what “used” vehicles are. Thoroughly inspected by factory technicians and backed by a manufacturer's warranty, it carries all of the same benefits that buying new does.

Vehicles that are previously owned are also cheaper to insure, so you’ll be saving money on your monthly premiums. One of the best things you can do is trade in your current vehicle to use as equity, this will help you get your CPO Ram at a cheaper price.
