Buying a lower-priced used vehicle doesn’t mean settling. In fact, it’s often the smartest decision for long-term value, especially in today’s market.
New cars lose a significant portion of their value in the first few years. A used car that’s already experienced this depreciation will retain its value better over time—especially if it’s well-maintained.
Used vehicles typically cost less to insure than brand-new ones, which helps reduce your monthly expenses. It’s a great way to save money over the life of the vehicle.
Many vehicles in our under-$20K inventory are well-known for longevity, dependability, and low maintenance costs. Think of models like the Toyota Corolla, Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, and of course, pre-owned Volkswagen favorites like the Jetta or Tiguan.
At this price point, it’s often possible to afford a higher trim level or more features than you could on a brand-new base model. Enjoy premium options like leather seating, upgraded infotainment systems, sunroofs, and advanced safety technology—without paying a premium price.
