Here at DePaula Ford, we’re proud to be your trusted used car dealer near Troy. Not only do we have an extensive inventory with plenty of quality options, but we also have a team of salespeople, finance experts, and technicians who are dedicated to making sure you have a great experience every time you visit us. Since our Albany dealership is conveniently located only a short drive from Troy, it’s easy to stop by whenever you want, whether you’re browsing our lot, taking a test drive, or getting help with financing or service.
You may think that buying a used vehicle means settling for less in order to save a little money, but here at DePaula Ford, we take pride in offering used vehicles that don’t just get the job done but exceed your expectations. All of our used cars need to pass a 139-point inspection conducted by a certified technician before they can be put out on the lot. Each one also comes with a complimentary CARFAX vehicle history report available both in-person and online, so you can easily do your research and make an informed decision.
Of course, you’ll still get to save some money compared to the cost of a new vehicle. You can either put that extra cash in your pocket for a rainy day or use it to spring for a higher trim level, with heated seats to help you stay comfy during our cold upstate winters or more towing capacity so you can easily transport your boat to the Hudson. You’ll also be looking at less depreciation of your vehicle’s value, which will come in handy down the line when it’s time to trade it in for something else.
Whether you’re bringing a family’s worth of luggage to Albany International Airport or getting a big load of groceries from Aldi before a big Nor’easter strikes, it’s nice to have a good amount of cargo space at your disposal. With a used SUV, you get the flexibility to choose whether to leave the rear seats upright and provide a comfortable place for passengers or fold them flat to increase the space of the open cargo area in the back. Many of our used SUVs also have substantial towing capacities and all-wheel drive, so you can camp in style in the summer and have the traction you need to tackle snow in the winter.
SUVs come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, so it’s easy to find something that’s a perfect fit for you. Subcompact SUVs like the affordable Hyundai Kona, off-road capable Subaru Crosstrek, and distinctive Kia Soul are great in tight spaces like busy parking lots and are easier to fit into street parking spaces. Midsize crossovers like the stylish Mazda CX-9, reliable Honda Passport, and versatile Ford Explorer provide a spacious interior in a maneuverable package. But if you frequently transport a lot of passengers or cargo, you might want to opt for a full-size option like the Ford Expedition or Chevrolet Suburban that offers a truly cavernous cabin.
One great thing about trucks is that they’re sturdy and built to last. Whether it’s a full-size model like the Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado, a midsize option like the Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma, or even a compact truck like the Ford Maverick, you can rely on a quality used truck to deliver top-notch performance for many years to come, even if you rack up the miles on the odometer. We work hard to keep our inventory stocked with all kinds of different options, so you can find different cab styles, bed sizes, and more on our lot.
If you have difficult jobs that require moving heavy loads, then we can find you a heavy-duty truck like the Ford F-250 or Ram 3500. For a more affordable option that’s perfect for weekend projects like home renovations, you can check out a basic trim on a light-duty truck. And if you’re itching to go off-road, you can check out trucks that are factory-built to handle rough terrain, like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Jeep Gladiator.
If you commute every weekday or like to spend your weekends soaking up culture in Boston or Manhattan, then fuel economy is probably high on your list of priorities. If that’s the case, you should consider a used sedan. Cars like the Honda Civic and Nissan Altima have secure trunks where you can store valuables and comfortable interiors that typically seat up to five people. Traditional options offer great fuel economy because of their streamlined shapes, and used hybrids like the Toyota Prius and Ford Fusion Energi give you even more bang for your buck. Hatchbacks like the Ford Fiesta are similar but have an open cargo area in the back instead of a trunk, making them more like SUVs.
Coupes like the iconic Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro are generally sportier, with thrilling driving dynamics. They have two doors rather than four and are usually extra stylish and sleek. Many two-door models are available in a convertible body style that lets you enjoy the wind on your face on nice summer days. Some models, like the Mustang, are available as both coupe and convertible options, while others, like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, are convertible only.
If you think that vehicle financing is only available for new vehicles, think again! We can get you set up with a loan that has a competitive rate and helps you break the cost of your used car into monthly payments that fit perfectly into your budget. You can get started before you even visit our dealership by applying for financing here on our website, saving you time and letting you fill out your information from the comfort of your own home instead of having to take an extra trip down I-787.
On the other hand, if you prefer to do things in person, you can always come to the dealership and take care of financing in person. We want to make sure that every part of the process works for your schedule and makes you feel at ease. And it doesn’t have to be all or nothing: you can always give us a call if you have any questions about the online form.
Here at DePaula Ford, we’re always looking to go the extra mile for our customers. If our extensive selection of quality used vehicles isn’t enough to entice you to cross the Hudson and visit us, then consider all of the benefits you can take advantage of when you buy from us. The first tank of fuel and the first oil change at our vehicle service center will be on us, so you can rest easy and enjoy your new ride. We also offer free annual New York State inspections when you buy from us, as well as free window chip repair. Finally, we don’t just promise to make every effort to ensure our used inventory is reliable and roadworthy; we back that promise up with a 90-day/4,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty.
While our dealership is just a short drive away from Troy, we know that not everyone has time in their busy schedule to shop in person. That’s why you can browse our inventory, apply for financing, and schedule service right here on our website. We even offer optional home delivery, so you can have your car delivered right to your door. Contact us today and let us help you get behind the wheel of a used vehicle that’s affordable, long-lasting, and just right for you!
