Should I Buy a CR-V New or Used?

Clearly, the Honda CR-V retains its value well over the years, but should you buy a new or pre-owned model in Freehold? Given the generous resale value of the Honda CR-V, purchasing a new or used model would be both beneficial in its own way. If you need more guidance, be sure to reach out to the team at DCH Kay Honda! For now, see the cases for each here:

Buying a Used Honda CR-V

When shopping for any pre-owned vehicle, you’ll need to consider many factors and that is the same with a pre-owned CR-V. A sweet spot to hit for this lineup specifically would be finding a model that is between 2 and 4 years old. You can save $9,503 potentially compared to buying new and still drive a relatively new model that can last for many years to come. If you keep this model for 3 years, your total cost of depreciation would be estimated to be $4,278. Want a model with more peace of mind and benefits that also fits these criteria for the lowest depreciation? Check out the certified CR-Vs for sale near Red Bank at DCH Kay Honda!

Buying a New Honda CR-V

While it’s nice to save upfront, you might find a brand new model might not cost that much more than a gently used one. Actually, the CR-V has a small price difference between a new and pre-owned model. According to iSeeCars.com, this model is one of the top overall cars and SUVs to buy new over used! See where the CR-V ranks in both lists here:

  • Out of the top 10 overall cars to buy new over used, the Honda CR-V makes it as the #4 vehicle with a price difference of $3,230 and a price difference percentage of 12.2%.
  • Out of the top 15 SUVs to buy new over used, the Honda CR-V also earns its rank at #4 with another Honda SUV, the HR-V, as the rank 1.
