Why should I consider buying used?

In the past few years, the used-car market has boomed. A record number of new cars are being sold thanks to today's great incentives. That means people buying new are trading in their not-so-old cars. Additionally, the growing lease market means many low-mileage cars are coming off lease.

Because of the sheer number of late-model cars for sale, finding a dependable used car in excellent condition is not that difficult. You may even get to transfer the original factory warranty. Plus, you can get a higher class of car for considerably less than a bare-bones new one.

Buying used also means you avoid the expense of a brand-new car and the depreciation costs that occur as soon as you drive it off the lot. So, you're likely to drive off with a good car at a great deal.
