If you've been dreaming of a sports car or a sturdy SUV, you may have also been looking at incentives and dealer offers, and thinking about going all-in with your tax refund on a new car.
But, if you want to really be money-savvy (and if you read our blog, then you definitely do) it's important to consider which vehicles are worth it to buy used instead of new.
Like, for example, these five used cars that are definitely better to buy at a used-car dealer in the St. Louis area, instead of a showroom:
- INFINITI Q50
- CADILLAC CTS
- LINCOLN MKZ
- MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS
- JEEP COMPASS
iSeeCars.com recently put together a list of the best used cars to buy, based on some simple math:
The average car is going to lose about 11% of its value the second it leaves the lot--and about 27% on average within the first year before it levels off and depreciates more slowly.
For luxury cars and top-of-the-line large SUVs especially, that really adds up!
That means that buying a used luxury car, like a Mercedes-Benz or a Cadillac, when it’s a year old or older could save you in the ballpark of $15,000.
You could buy another car for that money.
While these top five cars and SUVs are just some especially tempting options, AutoCenters St. Charles has a ton of great used vehicles for sale that can help you save, and give you years of enjoyment--with a couple thousand dollars more in your pocket compared to buying new.
