Are used diesel trucks worth it?



 



When shopping for a used truck for sale in Terre Haute, you'll have a lot of decisions to make. Terre Haute Auto has the experience and knowledge to help you choose the ideal truck at our used car lot near you. One of the most important choices you'll need to make is selecting the best powertrain for your needs. If you're debating buying a diesel truck for sale, let's review the pros and cons. With the help of Terre Haute Auto, you won't believe how easy it is to get into a great pickup truck for sale.



 



Are diesel trucks expensive to maintain?



 



No matter what type of truck you purchase from our used truck dealer, maintenance is crucial. Diesel trucks offer better longevity than gas trucks, as long as they are properly maintained. Repairs and maintenance are typically more expensive for a diesel engine. However, since diesel engines are built with stronger materials, they need repairs less frequently. You can trust that all of the used trucks for sale near you at Terre Haute Auto will be in superb condition.



 



Is a diesel truck a good daily driver?



 



Diesel trucks can be wonderful daily drivers, particularly if you need extra torque. Before you invest in a diesel used truck for sale in Terre Haute, ensure that you have easy access to fuel. While gas stations are abundant, not every fueling station will offer diesel. Make sure that you can easily access diesel fuel before committing to a truck from our used car lot near you.



 



What is the life expectancy of a diesel engine?



 



Diesel trucks for sale are known for outlasting their gasoline-fueled counterparts. When properly maintained, diesel engines can run beyond a million miles. Diesel engines compress air almost twice as intensely as gas engines, which is why their parts are designed to be more resilient. This higher compression also causes more complete combustion of the fuel compared to gas engines. That's why diesel exhaust is less corrosive, leading to a  longer service life for the engine. 



 



Do diesel trucks have good fuel economy?



 



Yes, diesel pickup trucks for sale are rated about 25% more fuel-efficient. If you're looking for a used truck for sale in Terre Haute with outstanding fuel economy, diesel is a good choice. The sales team at our used car lot near you can share the EPA-estimated ratings for any of our trucks.



 



Do diesel trucks depreciate slower?



 



Because diesel trucks last longer, they also retain their value at a superior rate. The purchase price of a diesel truck may be slightly more costly at our used truck dealer, but it won't bleed value at a rapid pace.
