Is it time to get a newer car? Do you need to add another car to your household for a new driver? Maybe you need something for work, but your bottom line leaves something to be desired? Whatever your reasons for needing a new car, truck, or SUV, if you live in Birmingham, Irondale, or Trussville, you can find a quality used vehicle at Serra Hyundai. Check out our used vehicle specials and see if the perfect used vehicle is featured. Otherwise check out our inventory of used vehicles to include Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models.
When you buy a new vehicle, you have to pay steep new vehicle prices. Even the most basic trim still costs a lot since it has a greater value as a new vehicle. If you want certain features or option packages, you will pay even more over and above the new vehicle sticker price to get the amenities you want. When you buy used, you can look at the options that are on the vehicle already and see if it has what you want. You can often get a higher trim or even a more expensive model than what you could afford if you were shopping for a brand-new vehicle.
When you buy used, you’ll pay less on sales tax based on the value of the vehicle. You’ll also pay less on insurance premiums for comprehensive coverage because it costs less to repair after an accident. Additionally, when you buy a new vehicle, it will have considerable depreciation. In fact, when you drive it off the lot, it can depreciate as much as 10% in the first month of ownership, as much as 33% or more within the first year of ownership. Used vehicles depreciate much more slowly, which means they hold their value longer for when you decide to sell.
If you are concerned about the dependability of a used vehicle, perhaps the CPO option is more appealing. Hyundai CPO vehicles have to meet strict criteria to be considered a CPO:

This is just a small sampling of what you can find at Serra Hyundai in our used inventory. We also offer other brands for a vast selection to choose from.
Your model might have been perfect at first, but as the years go by, your needs are going to change. Regardless of whether you’re searching for a capable truck or a family-friendly SUV, you’ll be able to find your match at Serra Hyundai. While you’re here, we’ll also be able to show you our selection of new Hyundai models. We’re located in Trussville, so you won’t have to spend a lot of time on the road if you’re leaving from Bessemer or Birmingham.
Our new inventory is limited to Hyundai models, but our used inventory is different. Here, you’ll find any brand you can think of, as there’s no telling what we currently have on the lot. Whether you’re looking for a family SUV or a trusted sedan, we’ve got you covered.
If you’ve got your heart set on the Hyundai brand, then you might be interested in our certified pre-owned inventory. While these vehicles are also used, they’re held to a very high standard, and they have to meet certain requirements before they can earn the certified rating. If you’re looking for an older Hyundai model, then you’ll have more luck with this selection.
You really should take the time to test drive vehicles that catch your eye, as this is going to tell you what you need to know. Is it fun to drive? Is the inside comfortable? A test drive can help you answer these questions, and you’ll be able to test out the tech features as well.
While the Hyundai brand might not offer any trucks, you can still find them in our used inventory. If you need a powerful pick-up, then there’s a good chance that we have something that will meet your needs.
While new vehicles have their fair share of perks, so do used vehicles. Used models tend to get better insurance rates on average, and they depreciate at a slower rate as well when compared to new cars on the road. This can translate into monthly savings, and it can help you hold on to your value. This gives you a leg up when it’s time to trade it in.
There are a few different scenarios where a used vehicle might be preferable to a new one. For example, is your teen starting to drive? It’s usually best to start them out with a used vehicle, as this lowers the stakes. We have a lot of safe options on our lot that are reliable, efficient, and ready to go. You may also want to consider a used vehicle if you’re shopping for a second model, or if you’re trying to get on the road as soon as possible.
At Serra Hyundai, we work hard so that you leave the lot with a model that you can feel confident in. Before you move on to financing, we suggest taking a test drive first. If you still feel the same way about the model, then we can help you explore your financing options whenever you’re ready.
If you are interested in any of our used vehicle models, contact us at Serra Hyundai to speak with our sales staff and set up a test drive.
