With the average new car price having now reached $50,000 in the US, buying a factory-fresh machine is more expensive than it has ever been. Many drivers won’t have that kind of money to throw away on a new car, even if there is a decent monthly finance deal on the table. As a result, changing tack and focusing on the used market tends to be the best way to go, as you can buy a car in decent condition for a fraction of its original MSRP. Get one that’s been well maintained, and it should last you for years without much in the way of trouble as long as you continue to look after it.
