5 Tips for Buying a Used Car the Smart Way to Save Money Buying used cars in GA in itself is already a great way to save money compared to buying brand-new. But if you want to get an even better deal on a pre-owned vehicle, be sure to read these tips: 1. Skip the popular models. Because there’s a much higher demand for the so-called favorites, the prices of highly sought-after cars and trucks tend to be higher. This is why savvy car buyers always look at the less popular models and makes. Doing the same can save you money—lots of it. You’ll be surprised at the range of really good quality used cars under $10,000 from car Brands that you might have initially ruled out. For example, are you planning to buy a Honda CR-V? You can probably find something cheaper that is comparable and similarly appointed. Check out Kia Sportage and Ford Escape to see how much cheaper they are. There are many opportunities to save a lot of money in doing this. Who knows? The alternative might actually have lots of other features that your first choice doesn’t offer. 2. Go for base models. Base models are cheaper because they have fewer navigational aids, entertainment, and other such features. If you’re not really a big fan of those bells and whistles, maybe you don’t need that Bluetooth. Check out Savannah Pennysaver’s list of used cars under $10,000 for some great base models you can consider. The key is to think about what features are essential for your lifestyle and what you can live without. Do you need lots of storage? Third row seats? Superior fuel efficiency? Knowing exactly what you need will enable you to choose the right vehicle at the right price. 3. Try a luxury car. This might seem counterintuitive and contradictory to the previous tip, but hear us out. If you’re willing to buy an older model, you can drive a premium car from a prestigious brand at a much lower price. Luxury cars are ahead of their time, anyway, so even older models from a few years back will have upscale features and amenities that you will still find in brand-new cars today. 4. Think about the cost of ownership. When you buy a car, you’re not just paying the sticker price. You also have to pay for things like fuel costs, maintenance, finance charges, taxes, registration, insurance, etc. Make sure to take
these factors into consideration as you search for used cars in GA. Think about your long-term ownership costs to get a more accurate idea of whether or not asserting used car is truly a good deal. 5. Look for longevity. While modern vehicles are hardier than ever, some models are still better than others. Make sure to do your research in this area so you can make an informed decision. Online car review websites are excellent sources of information. They can give you a fairly accurate picture of how long a certain car make and model will remain safe to drive if maintained properly.
