There are many reasons to consider a pre-owned Alfa Romeo car when you're shopping for a first car for yourself or a family member. At Helfman Alfa Romeo of Houston, we'll make it easy to find a luxurious car or crossover that offers the safety features and driving experience a new driver will love.

Let's take a closer look at some of the benefits of choosing one of our pre-owned cars over a new model.

Lower Prices

The most obvious benefit of buying used is the price. A pre-owned car is going to cost less than a comparable new car. You might miss out on some of the latest tech upgrades, but the trade-off is often worth it.

Lower Insurance Costs

Lower insurance costs go along with that lower sticker price, and that can be especially beneficial for a new driver. When you're a new driver, insurance is going to be expensive. There just isn't any way around it.

You have no history to look at, so insurers are going to charge you high premiums. The monthly cost of insuring a new car could end up comparable to the cost of your monthly loan payment in some cases!

A car that's a few years old will cost less to insure. You also may be able to forego certain types of coverage that you would want on a new car, like GAP coverage. Your insurance will still be a significant expense, but it's less likely to break the bank and cause financial stress.

Less Pressure for a New Driver

Being a new driver can be stressful enough without worrying about damaging a pristine new vehicle. You're new! You're going to misjudge a curb, a tight parking spot, or something else. You might end up with small scratches and dents, and that can be a source of stress if you're driving a brand-new model. In our experience, a used car can just be less pressure to own.
