Finding a suitable used car is more challenging than buying a new one. When you find a new car that meets your needs and budget, you just have to go to the dealer and buy it. When you buy used cars, you must not only find the right model, you must also find one that is sold, has low enough mileage to be attractive, is in good condition, has no crashes, and is well maintained. Oh, and it has to be nearby. Then you have to assess the seller to make sure it's not someone trying to rip you off.

 

In short, there is a lot more research involved in evaluating a three-year-old car with 36,000 miles on the odometer than there is in evaluating a brand new car in a dealer's lot.

 

Used cars rankings and reviews from reputable websites are a great place to start your used car buying journey, combining numerous used cars with quantifiable information about safety, reliability, and total cost of ownership to rank nearly every car on the market.

 

Choosing used cars to focus on can be challenging. Should you choose an old car with lots of options, or a new car with fewer miles but fewer features and a similar price? Look at where you're driving, how many people you're transporting, why you're driving, how you're driving matters. Then, match those needs to your budget. Don't buy a used Mazda Miata, for example, if you need to take your kids to soccer practice every day. If you're a solo commuter in the city, buying a Chevrolet Silverado full-size pickup may not be the best option, either.

 

It is important to consider not only the size and performance of the vehicle you are considering, but also fuel economy, safety rating, and insurance costs.

 

When you buy used cars, you can get the options and features for a fraction of the price they would cost you for a new car. Option packs and higher trim levels do not require nearly the same premium as used cars as they do in all-new cars.
