What are the advantages?
A clean, well-maintained used car, truck or SUV can be one of the best investments you'll ever make. As you know, a new car depreciates by thousands of dollars the moment you drive it off the dealer's lot. When you're looking at a good used vehicle, that big depreciation has already been subtracted from the price. Some recent model used cars are so well-built, they can perform reliably for hundreds of thousands of miles.Sell Your Car To Frankman Motor Company
Can a used car help me save on car insurance?
With a good used sedan, truck or SUV, the lower selling price means it will cost less to insure it thana comparable new car. If you're buying a fairly recent-model used vehicle, it's likely to have many of the same features and technology you'd get in a new car. That's especially true of a used luxury car. Once advanced features are introduced, they tend to stay basically the same for several years, so a good used model can be a bargain.What mileage is considered good for a used car?
Let's start with the fact that the average car in nearby communities like Brandon and Harrisburg SD gets driven about 12,000 miles a year. So if you just multiply the car's age by 12,000 miles, you can tell if a used car is above or below average. For example, average mileage for a 5-year-old vehicle would be 5 years x 12,000 miles = 60,000 miles.ÂBut there's more to evaluating a pre-owned vehicle than just the number on the odometer. Some used cars are in bad shape after 60,000 miles, simply because the original owner didn't take good care of it. That usually means the owner didn't keep the vehicle clean, didn't do regular maintenance like oil changes and didn't get repairs done early enough to keep the problem from getting worse.
Other used vehicles can be a good deal even with an average number of miles like 60,000. If the owner or owners consistently maintained the vehicle, and the brand and model have a proven history of long-term reliability, the car might be a great value. If the car had very good care and a positive vehicle history, it might perform even better for you than a newer vehicle that isn't one of the most reliable models.
