There are quite a few benefits when you get a new Ford like the ultra-popular F-150 pickup, a Ford Super Duty truck or a new Ford Explorer SUV. But there are also a lot of reasons to get a good used vehicle from Ford at our dealership. To help you decide which path is right for you, here's a comparison of key advantages for both new and used vehicles. Whichever direction you decide to go, we can help you get the right model for you and your family at Jannell Ford of Hanover in Hanover, MA.
New Car Advantage #1: You can start with a clean slate
A new Ford comes with almost no miles on the odometer. That means you can take great care of your new Ford with regular oil changes and factory-recommended maintenance to help your new Ford keep performing reliably for you. With a used vehicle, a lot of miles have already been logged and the vehicle may not have gotten regular maintenance. When you buy a new Ford, you're in charge of the maintenance and you can make sure it's done consistently so the vehicle will last longer and won’t cost as much in repairs.
New Car Advantage #2: Your new Ford warranty
A new Ford comes with a warranty that helps give you more peace of mind. A new Ford will have two reassuring warranty packages that cover repairs and parts replacement. First you get Ford’s 5-Year/60,000-Mile Limited Warranty on the powertrain, including the engine and transmission. Buyers from Brockton and Weymouth also get Ford’s 3-Year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper comprehensive warranty that covers the drive shaft, drive axles, braking components, heating and air conditioning and more.
New Car Advantage #3: Up-to-date technology
A brand-new Ford like the F-150, Explorer or Bronco Sport will have the latest features as standard equipment or available extras. For example, the new 2024 Ford F-150 comes with a standard 12-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity and satellite radio. With a new F-150, you can upgrade to a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium stereo, wireless device charging, dual-zone climate control and a moonroof.
Used Car Advantage #1: The price
A used vehicle from Ford will have a much lower selling price and will typically save you thousands of dollars compared to what you’d pay for a new model. With lower prices, Marshfield and Plymouth MA buyers can consider getting a nicer car with more appealing features. You won’t have to worry about your vehicle losing a lot of its value the moment you drive it off the lot.
Used Car Advantage #2: Taxes and insurance
A used Ford or another quality vehicle will cost you less in terms of the initial sales tax which is 6.25% in Massachusetts. You'll also pay less for personal property tax for vehicles that will be due when you register the car and renew your license each year. In Massachusetts, the 2024 tax is assessed at the rate of $11.38 for each $1,000 of your vehicle's value. What’s more, a lower price on your used Ford means you’ll pay less in monthly insurance premiums.
Used Car Advantage #3: More variety
We offer a good selection of both new and used Ford vehicles but we have more variety with our used Ford options. You’ll find multiple used versions of the Ford F-150, the Explorer, the Ford Escape, Bronco, Bronco Sport and Expedition. You’ll also find half-ton Ford trucks, heavy-duty and mid-size Ford trucks. You might even find a used Ford sedan and you’ll have a much bigger variety of price ranges. Whether you’re looking for a new or used Ford, we can help you find the right car at Jannell Ford of Hanover in Hanover, MA.
