Buying a used car always involves some degree of uncertainty, but if you do your research, and you purchase your next used car from Suntrup Automotive Group, you know you’ll get a high quality used car, whether you need a small and sporty luxury car from makes like INFINITI or a family-friendly 7 passenger vehicle. One of the most important things to consider when buying a used car, from a financial standpoint, is reliability. Choosing a vehicle from a brand that consistently ranks high in used car reliability scores can help you save money on long-term service costs. What are the best used cars to buy? That’s what we’re here to help you find out.
Before we tackle the questions of what the best used car makes are and give you some ideas of the most reliable used cars, we should touch upon why to buy a used car vs. a new car. The average new vehicle in the United States now costs over $36,000. The average used car price in the United States is currently a little over $20,000.
As you can see, buying used can be a fantastic way to save money. Buying a used car comes with trade-offs, though, including potential unexpected out-of-warranty service costs. To mitigate the impact of those, talk to someone at our finance center about available extended warranty coverage.
