Why Choose A Used RV?

Not everyone needs the latest model on the market. For many buyers, a used RV will be the perfect fit. Enjoy a lower upfront cost - and plenty of other great perks! Keep reading for the top reasons to pick a pre-owned model. If you have any questions or want to shop used RVs for sale, visit True Value Trailers & Power Equipment. Our dealership has locations in Penrose and Florence, Colorado, and we also serve those in Pueblo and Colorado Springs.

1. Spend Less Money Upfront

Often, the most compelling reason to get a used RV is the price tag. These models are sold at drastically lower prices than their new counterparts. It's an easy way to save hundreds or thousands of dollars upfront. Insurance coverage will also be lower, saving you money there as a result. Anyone can benefit from saving money, but especially those with tighter budgets to begin with.

2. Skip The Hassle Of Warranty Repairs

Manufacturer error is more common than you might think. Brands make mistakes, which result in the new models needing parts replacements or repairs. These are usually covered under the warranty, so they shouldn't be an added expense. But they are still an added hassle! It takes time and energy to transport the RV to the service department, wait for it to be repaired, then take it home.

These mistakes usually crop up in the first year or two. If you get a used RV, then the first owner will likely have already dealt with the nuisance. You get a model that's already been fixed and is unlikely to have any manufacturer-related problems.

3. Enjoy RV Upgrades

There are so many upgrades and aftermarket accessories available. Odds are, the various used RVs for sale will come with some added features. These can include anything from a higher quality mattress to a tire pressure monitoring system. In some cases, the add-ons are not included in the asking price. You get to enjoy them for free! Even if they are part of the cost, you still get to skip the work of ordering and installing those upgrades.

4. Avoid The Biggest Impact Of Depreciation

All RVs will suffer from depreciation. But new models will take a bigger hit. The largest dip in value usually happens in the first year or two. If you buy a used RV that is two years or older, you can skip this drastic price loss. If you sell the RV later, you can earn back more of your original investment. If you buy a new rig and sell it, you will lose a big chunk of money to depreciation.

5. Get More From A Used RV

Thanks to the lower cost of used RVs, you can get more features than you could in a new model.

For example, maybe you can afford a higher quality brand. Or maybe you can get a larger model with an extra private bathroom. Or maybe you can buy more accessories for the RV. The lower price tag of used RVs can result in getting more out of your RV purchase.

6. You Don't Travel Often

If you only travel every so often, there is no need to spend an arm and a leg on an RV. Used models will offer the amenities needed for your adventures - without breaking the bank. Save your money for a purchase you will use more often in your daily life.
