New vs. Pre-Owned

Budget often drives buying decisions - and for good reason. It's important to determine a realistic budget for your car purchase so you don't spend more than you can afford. 

Don't just consider the sticker price, though. Buying a new or pre-owned model involves other costs such as insurance premiums, maintenance costs, gasoline, initial sales tax, and plates/registration fees through the DMV. 

Buying a used car is a cost-effective way into vehicle ownership; with comprehensive vehicle history reports, you'll feel more confident with your buying decision. A new vehicle will cost much more than a pre-owned model, but you gain valuable manufacturer warranties that pre-owned cars lack. 

Vehicle Type

The Honda lineup offers a variety of options, so it's understandable that you might have difficulty choosing one. To help you narrow down your focus, think about how you're going to use the vehicle. 

Will you be zipping through busy Syracuse often and navigating into tight parking spots? Consider the Honda Civic. The compact Honda CR-V is a well-styled crossover that's suited more to suburban families while offering ample cargo and cabin space for drives out of town. If you need space for your large family and their many belongings, check out the Honda Odyssey minivan. Of course, if towing is a priority, choose a capable truck like the Honda Ridgeline.
