Should I Buy a 2021 or 2022 Model?
Should I Buy a 2021 or 2022 Model?
Have you found a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM in our inventory that you’d like to upgrade to? Congratulations! The team here at Joe Cooper Dodge of Shawnee can’t wait to help you through the process. While you’ll be making many decisions before signing on the dotted line, one of the first includes whether you should buy from the 2021 model year or 2022. There are advantages to both options, but it ultimately rests on your priorities. Let’s explore your options in detail to determine whether a 2021 or 2022 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM is right for you!
2021 Models Are Priced to Move
With the new year still fresh and 2022 models starting to fill dealerships’ lots, new 2021 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM models start to take up space. While these models hold similar quality and features, dealers are motivated to see 2021 models find new homes. That’s why you’ll often see exclusive savings on 2021 models, whether that’s 0% APR financing, $0-down leases or cash back options. If upfront costs are a concern for you, we’d suggest 2021 vehicles.
How Long Do You Plan on Owning the Car?
If you’re thinking that your length of ownership will be no more than two or three years, our team would recommend purchasing the 2022 model. Why? Of the two years — 2021 or 2022 — a 2022 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM will have a greater value when you’re ready to sell or trade. But if your length of ownership will be much longer, or you plan on driving your vehicle until it can no longer start, we recommend choosing the 2021 model instead.
When Only the Latest and Greatest Will Do
If you’re one of the many who prefer to drive vehicles with the latest updates in technology, safety, performance and convenience, look no further than the 2022 lineups. While some model years offer more upgrades than others, you can be sure that the 2022 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM lineups have the latest and greatest. Research your preferred model with our online tool, or ask a member of our team how the 2022 model has changed from its previous year!
