Best Deals on Used Family Sedans
February 28, 2013
Looking for a spacious used vehicle, but an SUV is not what you're looking for? Then a family sedan may be your best choice, with its roomier interior, plus usually generous trunk space and good gas mileage.
If you're in the market for this type of vehicle, then check out the list Consumer Reports recently put together regarding the best deals on used family sedans.
On the list are the likes of the 2008 Mercury Milan, which you can find 59% cheaper than when it was sold new. Other top drops in retail value are the 2008 Ford Fusion S (52% drop), 2008 Mazda6 i (59% drop), and 2008 Nissan Altima S (43% drop).
