For some people driving is a need. Some of us can get by walking or just by using public transportation for our day-to-day commutes, but some of us need to have a vehicle to handle our transportation needs. If buying a vehicle is just for the passion of collecting, you have the flexibility to be a little more lenient when it comes to price, but for those of you who need a vehicle for your day-to-day commute and don’t have money to spare, you may be a little bit tighter. If you look at the MSRPs for new vehicles, you may get a little bit scared, but there is a solution.
Purchasing a used car has an unfortunate stigma of purchasing a dirty, worn-out, and tired vehicle, but this is actually not the case. Now, if you just Google “used cars for sale near me,” chances are you’ll find some pretty beat-up models. That’s where we come into play. We keep high standards for our pre-owned vehicles, meaning you can find excellent quality used cars for sale right here at Pearson Ford. We want you to have access not only to the cars that you need but also to the vehicles that you want. Considering buying used opens up the door to a much wider variety of vehicles, not only in type but in model year, trim, and features!
Buying used doesn’t mean buying poorly made; it means buying a vehicle that has been broken in. Now, you’ll certainly want to ask questions about the mileage, the condition of the car, and anything else you are specifically focused on. We’ll have all of that information for you, so you can ask us, but you want to make sure that the vehicle is in the shape it needs to be in to suit your needs. If a car already has hundreds of thousands of miles on it and you need to do an hour-long commute each day, you may want to look at something a little more recent with fewer miles on it. Many used vehicles, however, are only lightly used and were sold or traded relatively early on in their lifespan. These are the real gems of used cars because it allows you a discounted rate for a good-as-new vehicle.
There is often an overriding idea that because a vehicle is used, it must be old. This is not true, however. We certainly carry some older models from yesteryear, in case you’re interested, but many used vehicles come from the past five model years or so, meaning you’ll have many of the new features you’d hope to find in a new vehicle, but you won’t have to pay top dollar for them. In fact, purchasing a used vehicle allows you to have access to a wider breadth of model years, meaning more versatility and more options. New features are always exciting, but new doesn’t always mean better, and old doesn’t always mean worse. Plenty of used models will still have those newer features you want most, whether in the base models of more recent years or in higher trims of older models. You just need to be open to looking at all the options.
Purchasing a used vehicle gives you access not only to older features but also to older models. If one of your favorite models is discontinued, you can likely still find it on the used market. Buying used allows you to get it at a lower price now that it’s officially off the market (unless you’re looking for a vintage vehicle).
So what used vehicles do we carry? Well, you know we sell Fords, that’s obvious, but we’re not a one-trick pony. We carry all kinds of pre-owned vehicles from your favorite leading brands. When buying used, you are not bound to the dealership's brand name. Look through our current used inventory, and you'll find plenty of options from all makes. So, if you’re looking for something fun and adventurous like a used Jeep Wrangler, we’ve got you covered. If you want a big work truck like a GMC Sierra, we can do that too. Even if you’re looking for a simple commuter like the Toyota Camry or a pre-owned Honda Civic, we’ll have you set up in no time. We want you to have access to all kinds of vehicles from all kinds of brands, so you have plenty of options to choose from when the time comes to purchase something different.
We love our new Ford vehicles here at Pearson Ford, but if we only offered one brand, our used inventory would become pretty limited. Whether you need a large truck for work, a gas-sipping sedan for your commute, a minivan to fit the family, or an SUV for your off-road adventures, we want to have an option for you. Making a big investment in a vehicle that you and your family will need to use for years to come is not the time to be working with limited choices, and it is our goal to make sure that you have an abundance of options in order to ensure that your needs are met.

We are committed to providing the best customer service while we serve our local community here in the greater Indianapolis area. When you’re looking to buy a vehicle, purchasing with a family-owned dealership is a better move than one that has switched hands throughout the years. When a business is kept in the family, there is a standard that is kept and passed down through generations and a deeper sense of dignity in carrying on the family’s legacy through excellent service. What’s more, working with a family dealership allows you to be brought into the fold of generations of hard work and memories, meaning a more enriching experience with the staff, making for a better purchasing process.
