Go For A Used Car

Just because they aren't brand spanking new with the latest in high-tech features doesn't mean a car can't be useful. In fact, used cars can be a great deal. They may have a few miles on them, but they can be very dependable.

Used car buyers should also consider compact cars, as they are generally fuel-efficient, cost effective, and can fit in any garage or parking space. And just because they are small doesn't mean they lack style, many compact cars have unexpected luxury features like navigation system, sunroofs, leather seating and sometimes even convertible tops.

Minivans are a great used deal because they provide family-friendly travel options. Lots of them have navigation systems, DVD players, and rear heating and cooling systems. They also have different seating options (whether you like captain chairs or benches). Since minivans are so large, they provide lots of room for storage. But don't be intimidated by the size, minivans usually sit lower than SUVs, so they are easier to enter and exit.
