If you’re in the market for your next car, truck or SUV in Brookings, you may be wondering whether to buy new or used. 

n

Should you go with the latest, greatest model with all the bells and whistles? Or should you choose something a little less flashy – and more cost effective? 

n

While there are certainly advantages to buying new CDJR and Fords for sale in Brookings, the money you will save by purchasing a pre-owned vehicle might sway you toward used.

n

 

n

Why Buy Used Cars in Brookings? 

n

Can buying used really save you that much money in the long run? Consider this: 

n

According to a 2017 IHS Markit study, the average length of vehicle ownership was a record of 79.3 months, or nearly seven years. Kelly Blue Book cites the average price of a new vehicle as $34,342. Meanwhile, the average price of a used vehicle in 2018 was $20,084 according to Edmunds. 

n

Let’s put this into perspective: if the average South Dakota driver purchases and owns a new vehicle every seven years between the ages of 25 and 75 (fifty years total), they will spend approximately $245,300 which doesn’t include any interest paid on the vehicle.  

n

If that same driver would purchase and own a used vehicle every seven years, they will spend approximately $143,457. That’s more than $100,000 in total savings. Wow!

n

Below are our top five financial benefits of buying used cars, trucks, and SUVs for sale in Brookings from Einspahr Auto:

n

 

n

Five Benefits to Buying Used

n

n

 

n

1. They cost less

n

As you know, there is a huge discrepancy between new and used cars – nearly $20,000 in some cases. If you are looking to save money off the bat or perhaps saved up some cash to avoid a car payment, pre-owned might be the great financial choice for you. 

n

 

n

2. They depreciate less

n

The instant you drive a new car off the lot, its value drops literally thousands of dollars. Yikes. 

n

Used vehicles also depreciate after purchasing, but not nearly as fast as new vehicles. 

n

 

n

3. They have lower registration fees

n

The older a vehicle is, the less it will cost to register – it’s as simple as that!

n

 

n

4. They have lower dealer fees

n

When you buy new, you aren’t just paying a higher price tag, you’re also paying for shipping charges, destination fees, and other expenses incurred by the dealer. When you buy used, all you need to worry about is your tag, title, and registration. 

n

 

n

5. They have lower insurance rates 

n

Used cars for sale in Brookings tend to cost far less to insure than new ones, meaning you will save even more money over the long run when you buy used. 
 

n

n

An Engine Option That’s Strong and  Efficient

n

Trucks aren’t usually thought to be “fuel efficient” vehicles, but that doesn’t stop the RAM 1500 from utilizing fuel-saving technologies that don’t compromise power. And with three engine options, you can select the one right for you and your needs!

n

5.7L HEMI® V8 Engine with eTorque

n

n
• 17/23 mpg city/highway

n

• 395 horsepower

n

• 410 lb-ft of torque

n

n

 eTorque is also used in the RAM 1500’s Class-Exclusive standard TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission. This system automatically handles and optimizes shift changes while improving efficiency and performance. 

n

 

n

n

Tow Harder and Smarter

n

Whatever you’re looking to tow, the RAM 1500 has you covered with these impressive tow technology features:

n

n

n

Fall is a time of transition for many South Dakota families. From sunshine and summer vacation, to cooler temperatures and back to school activities. 

n

As we head into a busy season for most everyone in Brookings, you’ll want to make sure you have the right vehicle to equip you with school drop offs, outdoor projects, and weekend fall getaways. 

n

Thinking about upgrading your current vehicle? We’re highlighting our top three best “back to school” SUVs for sale in Brookings.

n

 

n

Best Back to School Brookings SUVs

n

Crossovers and SUVs continue to rise in popularity because of the versatility they offer. Need some SUV inspiration? Here are three great vehicles for fall (and every season!) you can find right now on the Einspahr lot:

n

Ford Escape

n

n

 

n

If you’re new to the SUV life, the Ford Escape is the perfect crossover vehicle for you. It offers many of the comfort and convenience features you want without the large vehicle body that can sometimes be overwhelming. 

n

 

n

Cargo Capacity

n

n

 

n

The Escape’s rear seats have the ability to fold back for a flat load surface of up to 68 cu. ft. of total cargo space. If you don’t need all of that room, you can take advantage of the 60/40 split rear seat backs that will still give you room for passengers. 

n

Or, you can leave both seat backs up and still have 34 cu. ft. of cargo space. This area is perfect for fitting backpacks, groceries, and other smaller items! 

n

Whichever configuration you choose to use, you can’t go wrong!

n

 

n

Capability

n

With a three engine lineup, the Escape gives you the extra oomf of power while boasting intelligent auto start-stop technology that can help lower fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. 

n

Thinking about towing a small trailer or camper this fall? The Escape has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine. 

n

We all know that road conditions in South Dakota aren’t always ideal. The Escape’s intelligent 4WD system continuously monitors traction and road conditions every 16 milliseconds. 

n

 

n

Other Features We Love:

n

n
• Hands-free, foot activated liftgate

n

• Center console with convenient media bid (perfect for all of your family’s mobile devices!)

n

• Standard rear view camera

n

• Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning

n

• FordPass™ Connect with Wi-Fi® Hotspot

n

n

 

n

 

n

Jeep Compass

n

n

 

n

Jeep is known for building some of the most stylish SUVs on the market, and the Jeep Compass is no exception!

n

Cargo Capacity

n

The innovative, adjustable cargo floor can be moved up so you can load gear easily while offering you more room. Plus, you can take advantage of the Compass’s clever compartments to help you fit odd-shaped objects (think musical instruments and school science fair boards) perfectly. 

n

For extra-long cargo, utilize the 60/40 split-folding rear seats that fold flat, giving you ALL the room you need. 

n

 

n

Capability

n

If you love exploring new places and new terrain, the Compass will be your best friend. The Jeep Compass’s Active Drive 4×4 System features a rear axle disconnect that seamlessly switches between two and four-wheel drive to help increase efficiency. 

n

And with up to 180 horsepower, 2,000 lbs of towing capacity, and an impressive 23/32 mpg city/highway, this vehicle is ready to go the distance.  

n

 

n

Other Features We Love:

n

n
• Windshield wiper de-icer and rain-sensing wipers

n

• Available BeatsAudio™ Premium Sound System

n

• Available dual-pane panoramic sunroof

n

• Heated front seats and steering wheel

n

• Blind spot monitoring and rear cross path detection

n

• ParkView® rear back up camera

n

n

 

n

 

n

Ford Expedition

n

 

n

n

 

n

Never want to worry about compromising cargo space for passengers? The Ford Expedition is for you.

n

 

n

Cargo Capacity

n

n

 

n

It will be a challenge to find a full-size SUV with more cargo space than the 2019 Expedition. A full 104.6 cu. ft. behind the first row of seating, 63.6 cu. ft. behind the second row, and 20.9 cu. ft. behind the third.

n

The available advanced cargo manager also helps you organize luggage, bags, equipment, and almost anything else you need to fit in your Expedition!

n

 

n

Capability

n

Looking to take a few camping trips this fall? If you need to tow a large trailer or small camper, the Expedition’s 3.5L EcoBoost® engine delivers 375 horsepower and 470 lb. ft of torque that will offer you best-in-class towing capacity of 9,300 pounds!*

n

 

n

Other Features We Love:

n

n
• Maximum second-row leg room and hip room

n

• Tip-and-slide seats

n

• Available leather-trimmed, heated, and ventilated multicontour seating

*When equipped with the heavy-duty trailer tow package

Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

n

We’ve looked at the design and styling, and we’ve hopped in to experience the performance and handling. Now we’re going to sit back and take a load off with the comfort and convenience features of one of the most popular trucks for sale in Brookings: the 2019 Ford F-150!

n

You already know the F-150 has power like no other and a sleek and sporty design, but the F-150 for sale in Brookings has the complete package with impressive tech features that will make you enjoy every drive, no matter the distance.

n

 

n

Your Extra Set of Eyes

n

n

 

n

The 2019 F-150’s intuitive technology features exist to make you work smarter, not harder. Features like the 8-inch productivity screen provides useful information including fuel economy and towing data. Plus, you can customize your home screen using four menu options: 

n

n
• Trip/Fuel

n

• Truck info

n

• Towing

n

• Off-road

n

n

You’ll also be more aware of your surroundings with the F-150’s 360-degree camera with split-view display. By using four cameras, you can get a bird’s eye view of the area all around your truck to avoid objects that could potentially scrape against the body of your new truck.  

n

Who doesn’t want an extra set of eyes when towing?  WIth the new F-150, you’ll also get a dynamic hitch assist feature that provides a straight line to help you direct your hitch ball to your trailer tongue.  

n

Plus, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) in the F-150 can help ease your lane-change worries, even while towing! BLIS uses radar on both sides of your truck to detect vehicles you may not be able to see and signals you in the corresponding sideview mirror.  

n

 

n

Smooth Driving Ahead

n

n

Long drives are less tiring in the 2019 F-150 for sale in Brookings.

n

With the F-150’s Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop-and-Go, you can stay relaxed by setting a specific cruising speed and distance from the vehicle ahead of you. When activated, the F-150 automatically accelerates and brakes while maintaining the preset distance. 

n

Drifting into another lane happens to even the best drivers. In order to minimize the danger of lane drifting, take advantage of the F-150’s available Lane-Keeping System. 

n

This smart feature scans your vehicle position between lines in the road ahead. If you begin to drift too close to a lane, the steering wheel will vibrate to help alert you to get back on track. 

n

 

n

Always Stay Connected

n

n

 

n

No matter where your F-150 takes you, stay connected with Ford’s intelligent FordPass Connect technology features. With FordPass Connect, you can connect up to 10 devices at one time in the F-150’s available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. You can even access the F-150’s wi-fi up to 50 feet away from your truck! 

n

With Ford+Alexa, you’ll have access to voice navigation, traffic information, and even Amazon Prime shopping in your new F-150! 

n

n

n

 

n

Make the trip up north to Bemidji, Minnesota – a charming town known for its natural beauty.

n

Stay active on your vacation to La Crosse by biking the trails, paddling along the river, or hiking up the Grandad Bluff to get the best view overlooking the city of LaCross and the tri-state region. Wisconsin Trails readers even voted this as the “most scenic view in the state!”

Love summer festivals? You’ll love La Cross, which is known for its many festivals including Riverfest, June Dairy Days, Bluffs Beer, Wine, & Cheese Festival, and many more.

n

If camping is your thing, take advantage of the Escape’s ability to tow up to 2,000 pounds by towing a small pop up camper or trailer to Custer State Park. While here you can also take in one of the most recognizable lakes in the Black Hills area – picturesque Sylvan Lake.

We recently had a truck come in with over 235,000 miles on it. It’s not often we see a vehicle hit that mileage, but with a good maintenance plan, you can take some vehicles to 300,000 miles! At Einspahr, we always enjoy seeing a recently sold vehicle leave the lot, but we also love a well-maintained vehicle in our service department.

Why Old Vehicles Need Brookings Car Repair

n

Remember, it’s not luck that lets you hit a milestone on mileage, it’s a planned maintenance routine.

n

As your vehicle ages, it’s imperative to keep with your service schedule and routine if you want to see six digits on our odometer. The biggest thing is, don’t let your check engine lights stay on for more than a day or two without a service technician or mechanic looking at your vehicle. Older vehicles, just like human bodies, will break down over time and need service and repairs.

n

Maintenance Schedules

n

The easiest spot to find the recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle is within the owner’s manual. All vehicles are built differently and what may have worked for your last vehicle, may not be the case for your current car. If you cannot find your manual, stop into a Brookings auto body shop and ask if you can see the recommended service checks.

n

 

n

Every 3,000-6,000 Miles

n

For some drivers, 3,000-6,000 miles may come quickly or take several months. Depending on the oil makeup and vehicle you own, having your oil changed can come at 3,000 or up to 6,000. During your Brookings oil change, our service technicians will also do a multipoint inspection and check things like the air in your tires, fluid levels for your transmission, power steering, coolant, and windshield wiper fluid.

n

Having your oil changed is a fairly quick process that can take as little as thirty minutes. You can schedule online or just stop by the service drive without an appointment.

n

During your appointment, you can also choose to have your tires rotated or aligned. Tires, like every other part of your car, wear down. With safe driving and regular rotations, the life of your tires can also last longer.

n

 

n

Every 15,000-30,000 Miles

n

About every year and a half to three years you should have several items replaced like your air and fuel filters. You should also flush out the power steering and transmission fluids. Over time, enough dirt, rust, and other particles can sit at the bottom of the fluid tanks. If you don’t flush the chambers out, it can slow or break down moving parts that cost more than the simple flushes themselves.

n

It’s also important to have your brake pads and hoses checked. Both parts will need to be replaced at some point since they wear. Your car batteries life also starts to die out around 30,000 miles. So have your battery’s charge checked so you aren’t stuck somewhere with a dead battery.

n

Finally, depending on how you drive (and what you drive on), it might be time to start shopping for tires for sale in Brookings. Some tires only have a life expectancy of 30,000 miles and some go upwards of 60,000.

n

 

n

Every 40,000-50,000 Miles

n

If you haven’t replaced your tires yet, now is probably the time! An easy way to find out if you need to start shopping for tires is to place the top part of a penny in the tread. If Lincoln’s top of the forehead or hair is visible, your treads are low and it’s time for new tires.

n

Spark plugs also wear out around 50,000 miles. You can bring your vehicle into the shop and have them replaced. If you hear any weird noises or something just doesn’t seem right, schedule an appointment to come in and see us. The sooner we can fix your vehicle the better it is for your vehicle.

n

 

n

Let Your Vehicle See High Mileage

n

Understand that you don’t have to wait until the mileage recommendations above to need something fixed, flushed, or replaced on your vehicle. South Dakota seasons like winter and its aftermath (potholes, we’re talking to you) can speed up the process and make you find a Brookings car repair shop sooner rather than later.

n

Our trained service technicians have studied all makes and models and are happy to help you understand what service your car may need at any given time. You can schedule an appointment for any of your car repair needs or stop out and see us for small things like an oil change or tire rotation. Don’t forget to check out our service specials to save you a little extra money.

Did you catch our in-depth look at the Performance & Handling of the new 2019 Ford F-150 in our previous blog post? Now, we’re moving on with part two of the series and admiring the Design & Styling of this sharp, new truck for sale in Brookings.

n

The new F-150 boasts power unlike other trucks for sale in Brookings, and has both the interior and exterior design to match. Whether you’re cruising through Brookings or hitting the road for work or play, you’re sure to turn heads in the 2019 Ford F-150.  

n

 

n

Exterior Design

n

As the popular country song goes, there’s somethin’ ‘bout a truck.

n

When it comes to the new F-150’s exterior, there are multiple features that capture our attention. 

n

Military-Grade Aluminum-Alloy Body and High-Strength Steel Frame

n

n

 

n

You can’t talk about a truck without talking about its body. The 2019 F-150 has the only high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body in its class. Working with aluminum alloy allows an increase in  thickness where needed to achieve strength without increasing the weight of the truck. Another benefit of the aluminum-alloy bed is that it won’t rust, so you can keep your truck looking brand new for years to come!

n

The 2019 F-150 has up to 78{83951c3c923d19e44167f79798e64c4aae41df40e53a089bc0d08f070d69866f} more high-strength steel than the previous model and larger cross sections. And while the frame is stronger, it’s also lighter by up to 60 pounds!

n

 

n

LED Lighting

n

n

 In South Dakota, we experience our fair share of low-visibility driving conditions. The F-150’s optional LED lighting will give you the clearer vision you need in less than ideal driving conditions, and make sure you never go unnoticed by other drivers.

n

Quad-beam LED headlamps provide bright, efficient illumination, along with class-exclusive LED side-mirror spotlights.

n

If you’re working on a project outdoors after sunset, the LED box lighting will keep the light on for you to help you get the job done.

n

 

n

Interior Design

n

You’ll likely spend quite a bit of time in your new truck, so you want to enjoy the experience! The interior design of the new F-150 will exceed your interior truck design expectations.

n

Seating

n

n

Depending on the trim level, the F-150 can seat up to five or six passengers safely and comfortably. The rear-seat even boasts more leg room than many full-size SUVs!

n

No matter the temperature outside, you can always be in control of your seat temperature in the F-150. Enjoy 10-way power heated and ventilated driver and right-front passenger seats in the Lariat, Platinum, Limited, and King Ranch models.

n

In-Cab Storage

n

 

n

Storage space is rarely a problem in the 2019 F-150. Stow items in the door-trim panel bins and the glove box. There’s even a special space for a laptop in the center console!

n

The SuperCab and SuperCrew models also boast a fully flat rear load floor that makes hauling longer items a breeze. Need additional storage? Take advantage of available under-seat storage in this intuitive truck for sale in Brookings.
