What Mileage Can You Expect From A Used Car?
July 28th, 2008 | by admin |You could save several thousand dollars by buying a fuel-efficient used car. Buy only slightly used models with fewer than 50,000 miles or so, on the clock. These vehicles look new enough and drive very much like new cars, and have about 8-10 years of reliable service still left. They’re good deals because you can get them for 25 percent to 40 percent less than what they cost when new. The Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, Toyota Echo, Ford Focus, and VW New Beetle TDI, Pontiac Vibe, Scion xB are great second-hand buys with good used car gas mileage. Buying used diesel-powered cars is better because a diesel engine will last for 200,000-plus miles.
