Benefits of buying a vehicle from a discontinued car brand

For better or worse, recent memory has seen many upstart as well as established vehicle brands go by the wayside, notably Pontiac, Saturn and Plymouth to name a few. However, that doesn’t mean that these models are any worse for wear; quite the opposite in fact! There are many benefits of buying a vehicle from a discontinued car brand, and we’ll tell you some of them!

Discontinued vehicles often come with lower costs

This happens for a couple of reasons; first, as the years go on, car values can depreciate even though they still carry endearing and long lasting qualities. A major example of this is Saturn; throughout its nearly 20 year lifespan, Saturn models have been lauded for their longevity and durability from the first to the most recent models produced. Even though the brand no longer exists, the spirit lives on for much more affordable prices than many other vehicles!

Discontinued vehicles share parts and specifications with existing brands

If you own a Pontiac G6, say, and you’re looking to make some upgrades, you might think you’re out of luck because the brand is no longer in operation. Not so fast! Most discontinued car brands like Pontiac have parts that are interchangeable with existing vehicle brands, so if you need some modifications you’re in luck!

We should also mention that discontinued vehicle models are still more than welcome to receive scheduled maintenance and service from their former manufacturers. So if you’re looking for a cheaper and more viable option for a daily driver or the first car for your children, you might want to take a closer look at a discontinued brand.
