Why choose a used 4x4 vehicle instead of a new 4x4 or 2wd?

When considering the purchase of a new or used vehicle either for family, work or personal use, it is only reasonable to shop around to ensure you are getting the very best that your money can buy. Often, the most difficult part of the decision process is the choice whether to buy a new or used vehicle, followed by your preference in body type and how practical each option will be in your overall daily use. Here at Opposite Lock Townsville we have provided you with the 4 main reasons why you should purchase a Used 4x4 Vehicle:

1.

Peace of Mind

- You will feel at ease knowing you have a 4x4 transmission if you ever need it! The major benefit of driving a 4wd vehicle is the ability to drive on cross-country terrains where two-wheel drives cannot. You will be able to operate your used 4wd with ease over un-even dirt tracks, bitumen, sand, rocky cascades and water holes. The great thing is that 4x4 transmission functions are optional, so you can switch it back to two-wheel drive whenever you feel like saving a little extra fuel.

2.

Cheaper Purchasing

- Used 4x4 vehicles are available at a significantly reduced price compared to brand new models, although when you purchase from a trusted dealer such as Opposite Lock Townsville you can be assured that your used 4x4 vehicle will have undergone reconditioning to make it like new! This saves you money, and avoids the rapid depreciation you are guaranteed to witness after purchasing a brand new 4x4 vehicle.

3.

Cheaper Insurance

- Used 4x4 vehicles are much cheaper to insure than new vehicles, so if your heart is set on a 4x4 - a used 4x4 vehicle is the smart choice.

4.

Variety of Options

- With a HUGE variety of 4x4 vehicle body styles available at any given time, you will almost always find the perfect option to meet your exact needs. Search our 4x4 trucks, sedans, Ute, SUVs and minivans!

Does Opposite Lock sell anything other than 4x4 vehicles?

Yes! Opposite Lock has a large range of top quality passenger and commercial vehicles as well as their great selection of 4x4s. This means that you can choose from small cars, large cars, performance cars, people movers and 4x2 utility vehicles. At Opposite Lock we aim to have everything you need.
