Used Car Myths You Should Stop Believing

🚗 Used Car Myths You Should Stop Believing

When it comes to buying a used car, there’s no shortage of advice out there — but not all of it is true. In fact, some of the most common beliefs about used vehicles are completely outdated or just plain wrong.

At Rey Motors Group, we’ve helped hundreds of families in San Jose, CA find reliable, affordable vehicles they can trust. And today, we’re here to clear the air.

Here are five common myths about used cars — and the real truth behind them.

🚫 Myth #1: Used Cars Are Unreliable

✅ Truth: A well-maintained used vehicle can be just as reliable — and sometimes more reliable — than a brand-new car.

It’s not about whether the car is used, but how well it’s been cared for. At Rey Motors Group, every vehicle in our inventory goes through a comprehensive inspection process to ensure it meets our high standards. We check the engine, brakes, transmission, and more — so you don’t have to worry about hidden surprises.

Plus, modern vehicles are built to last. A well-kept car with 70,000 miles today might still have another 100,000 miles of reliable driving ahead.

🚫 Myth #2: You’ll Spend More on Repairs

✅ Truth: Buying used does not mean you’re automatically signing up for constant repairs.

In fact, many used cars come with detailed service histories that show they’ve been maintained properly. At Rey Motors Group, we share those records with you, so you know exactly what you’re getting. And if you want extra peace of mind, we offer warranty options to protect your investment.

This makes used vehicles especially smart for families and first-time buyers who want value without unexpected costs.

🚫 Myth #3: Low Price Means Low Quality

✅ Truth: Just because a vehicle is affordable doesn’t mean it’s low quality — not when you buy from a dealership that values trust and transparency.

At Rey Motors Group, we price our cars competitively, but never at the expense of quality. Many of our vehicles come from previous owners who took great care of them — and it shows.

We specialize in reliable used vehicles that fit your budget and lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a dependable SUV for the family or a fuel-efficient commuter car, we’ve got you covered.

🚫 Myth #4: You Have to Pay Cash Upfront

✅ Truth: Think buying a car means having thousands in the bank? Think again.

We offer flexible financing solutions, even for buyers with less-than-perfect credit. Whether you’re building credit, rebuilding, or just starting out, our finance team will work to find a solution that works for you.

Many of our Hispanic customers are surprised to learn they can qualify for monthly payments that fit their budget — all with a simple and transparent approval process.

🚫 Myth #5: Dealerships Always Mark Up the Price

✅ Truth: Not every dealership plays games — especially not us.

At Rey Motors Group, we believe in clear, honest pricing. The price you see is the price you pay — no hidden fees, no pressure, and no last-minute surprises.

Our focus is on building long-term relationships with our customers. That’s why families across San Jose, CA, and beyond keep coming back and referring their friends.
