4 Used Cars with Great Resale Value

· 3 min read
Used Ford F-150 at Brown Lee Ford
Used Ford F-150 from Brown Lee Ford According to the most recent statistics from Carfax, new cars can lose as much as 20 percent of their value within a year of driving the car off the lot. If you're into the best and latest model, this might make no impact on your decision, but for thrifty buyers, you'll want a used vehicle that retains its resale value. Fortunately, there are several cars across a number of styles and budgets that can hold their value, even after several years away from the showroom.

  1. Ford F-150

Among the top 10 best resale trucks is the F-150. As America's top-selling vehicle for over 40 years, the Ford F-150 remains popular among people of all ages, incomes, and interests. Its stalwart popularity also allows it to remain relevant in the resale market, providing top dollar prices at nearly all trim levels, colors, and model years. In recent years, the F-150 has also added a number of safety features and an array of engine options to accommodate all types of drivers.  

  1. Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler is one of the top vehicles for resale value for numerous reasons. Its alluring off-road prowess and one-of-a-kind aesthetics make it stand out from the pack, creating popularity from drivers of all walks of life. Even decade-old Wranglers have still been known to fetch a pretty penny, especially if they're properly maintained. Plus, people like the idea of joining the "Jeep people," or the Jeep drivers who have an unspoken camaraderie on the road.

  1. Chevrolet Silverado

The Chevrolet Silverado takes its place among the best resale vehicles in the country. At the heart of the Silverado's top resale value are its durability and power. Silverado's can often stave off rust or the junkyard more than some of the other pickup options on the market. Plus, with a versatile mix of cabin and bed and exceptional payload and towing capacity, this truck is ideal for DIY projects or the worksite.

  1. GMC Sierra

The GMC Sierra is yet another pickup that tops the list of the best resale vehicles. Perhaps its the brawn of the 5.3-liter V-8, the durability, or the versatility that make the GMC Sierra a winner in the resale forum. However, if you're looking to unload a GMC Sierra now, remember that the next-gen Sierra just came out, giving your chances for top dollar a blow. However, the GMC Sierra is an important example of researching the latest models in order to put your vehicle on the market at the right time to maximize profit. The key to getting as much money as you can when you decide to sell your used vehicle starts with you. Conducting regular maintenance such as an oil change or tire rotation, staying on top of factory-scheduled preventive maintenance, and providing a thorough cleaning at least once a month will help your vehicle stay in tip-top condition. With just a bit of hard work and discipline, you can reap the monetary benefits when you're ready for a new vehicle.

7 Questions to Ask When Buying a Used Car

Image by TeroVesalainen from Pixabay Any time you decide to buy a used car, there are many questions you'll want answers to before signing on the dotted line. Vehicle History One of the first questions to ask is if the vehicle has a comprehensive service history available. If you're buying from a dealership or even a private seller, this information may be limited or nonexistent. If this is the case, requesting a vehicle history report is an option. A report is available from places such as AutoCheck and Carfax. The report will include the history such as the number of owners, recall information, odometer rollbacks, accidents, and salvage title information. more Maintenance Another question you'll want answered is who was responsible for servicing the vehicle. You'll want to know if a certified mechanic at a dealership handled the maintenance, if was taken care of by a mechanic who works independently, or if service was done by a knowledgeable friend. It's also important to know if service is up-to-date. Accidents Don't assume that the vehicle history report will have complete information about the vehicle. In the case of an accident, it is often reported but not always. Find out if the vehicle was involved in an accident and to what extent it was damaged, what repairs were necessary, were the repairs completed, and by whom. Inspection When considering buying a used car from a private seller or a used car lot, ask if you are allowed to take the vehicle to your choice of mechanic for a thorough inspection. If everything is as it should be regarding the state of the vehicle, the seller should not have any reason to deny your request. If the seller is reluctant, this is a red flag, Mileage and Warranty Check to see how many miles are on the car to determine if the odometer reading is in line with the year of the car. Ask about the warranty and if the vehicle has any warranty coverage left. If it does, you'll want to know exactly what is covered. Recalls Two things to find about regarding recalls are if there are currently any outstanding recalls or if there have been any recalls in the past and if the vehicle has been repaired accordingly. To find out if there were any recalls for the vehicle you're considering, use the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's database for recall information. Entering the VIN number into the system generates the recalls specific to that vehicle. With this information, you can check the maintenance records to find out if the vehicle had been repaired. New Paint If the vehicle has been recently repainted, this is a red flag that needs to be investigated. Whether it's been repainted with the original color or if it's been painted a different color could indicate that the vehicle had been involved in an accident resulting in extensive body damage. Besides exterior body damage, there could be issues with the suspension and powertrain. When purchasing a used car is on your itinerary, be prepared. Help the process run smoothly by asking the right questions so you know what you're getting upfront.
