2015's Best Deals on Used Cars
July 30, 2015
If you're in the market for a late model used car, I've got good news for you -- industry insiders say now is a great time to buy!
According to a recent report from Cars.com, the average asking price for 2012 to 2014 model-year used cars fell about 0.63% during the first half of 2015.
Cars.com also released their top 10 list of 2012-2014 used cars with the most significant price drops from January to June 2015. Although the list is dominated by BMW with five of the 10 vehicles on the list, the number one spot was taken by the Nissan Leaf, which dropped in price by 22.5%. Also on the list is the GMC Savana 2500, Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, and Smart ForTwo. Below is the full top 10 list of best used car deals.
And for even more savings, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see the lowest prices available on used vehicles in your area.
