Ram 1500 Pickup

Even though it’s tempting to go out and purchase a brand-new car fresh off the lot, they depreciate the minute you drive them away from the dealer. According to CARFAX, the value of a new vehicle can drop by as much as 20 percent after the first 12 months of ownership. There’s nothing wrong with saving some money and buying a used car. Frequently, these vehicles have plenty of miles, are still under warranty, and are cheaper than the latest models. Find out what 2018 used car models you should consider when looking for your next vehicle.

Toyota Corolla

As a compact vehicle, the Toyota Corolla seats five people comfortably. It doesn’t skimp on standard infotainment features, as it comes with a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 6.1-inch touch-screen display. It also achieves excellent gas mileage with an estimated 28 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.

Nissan Altima

As one of the top midsize cars when it comes to gas mileage, the Nissan Altima is a quality choice for a used vehicle. When outfitted with the base four-cylinder engine, you get an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. Even if you choose an Altima with the V-6 engine, you still get decent mileage with 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.

Jeep Cherokee

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee, which is a compact SUV, comes with a comfortable cabin and has amazing off-road capabilities for a vehicle of this size. Many compact SUVs only feature one all-wheel-drive system, but the Cherokee features multiple four-wheel-drive systems. Although it comes standard with a four-cylinder, nine-speed automatic transmission, there’s a 271-horsepower V-6 engine that can help tow up to 4,500 pounds.

Ford Explorer

Seating seven people thanks to its third-row seating, the 2018 Ford Explorer still provides enough cargo space even if your SUV is packed full of travelers. If you don’t want the additional seats, you can find an Explorer with second-row captain’s chairs. You can save thousands of dollars by purchasing this used vehicle, especially since this SUV underwent a major overhaul with the 2016 models.

Dodge Ram 1500

When it comes to full-size pickup trucks, check out the 2018 Dodge Ram 1500. This powerful vehicle comes with a best-in-class interior and obtains decent gas mileage even with the turbodiesel option. Despite being such a large vehicle, it gives you a smooth and pleasant ride. You can choose among about a dozen trims, and no matter which one you choose, the Ram 1500 is one of the least-expensive full-size trucks on the market.

When making a large purchase, most people want quality merchandise without spending a ton of money. One way you can do that is by purchasing a used vehicle, especially since most vehicles today last a long time.
