The Down Low on the Used Car Market

The used car market is not just what you find on Craigslist or in listings printed in your local newspaper. Dealerships across the nation have been embracing the used market and have put customer after customer into a used vehicle in great shape, ready to impress drivers and others on the road. As a bonus, plenty of dealerships (including ours!) have a service and parts department that inspects the used vehicles ahead of time so that you have full confidence in your purchase. Then, in the future, you already know who to go to for maintenance, and you can trust that they’re familiar with the vehicle.

Here at Anderson Nissan, we’ve seen that in practice; our customers know they can trust us and stop by when they need inspections or want our technicians to look at an issue. Since our buyers are so impressed with their used purchases, they become lifelong customers, eager to make Anderson Nissan their one-stop shop for all automobile concerns. Dealerships are more trustworthy than individual sellers as dealerships live and breathe off of return customers. We here at Anderson Nissan have cherished our relationships with our buyers, which is why we only put them behind the wheel of vehicles that best fit their unique needs.

Another benefit of the used car market is that the quality of automobiles has drastically improved compared to two decades ago. Cars, trucks, and SUVs are built better, which means they can last longer. A car that’s ten years old is a heck of a lot sturdier than a car that was ten years old back in 1995. So, come down to Anderson Nissan and check out some used SUVs here at Anderson Nissan. We know you’ll be happy with what you find amongst our extensive pre-owned inventory. Let’s take a look at just a few affordable and exciting options you can find.

Used Nissan SUVs

Take a used Nissan Rogue from 2012. Most SUVs from this year go for well under $10,000, which is an incredible bargain. That year’s Rogue model has a 24 MPG combined mileage (on average, the SUV goes 24 miles before using a gallon of gas): that’s still pretty competitive by today’s standards. A common concern with a used purchase is whether its mileage is up to snuff. While a used ride might be cheaper initially, it could be costly in the long run if its MPG rating is poor. There’ll be no worries about that with Nissan SUVs, which have had solid mileage throughout each model year. The 2012 Rogue also offers what customers most want from an SUV: ample interior space, with an impressive 57.9 cu.ft. of cargo volume. What does age matter when there’s storage room like that? You don’t even sacrifice much in power, as its standard 2.5L engine offers 170 hp.

If you’re looking for something a bit heftier, you can look at a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder. This classic SUV can still offer plenty of value on the road to this day. In terms of space, you’re going to have plenty. The Pathfinder comes with 79.2 cu.ft. of space, so you don’t have to leave anything behind on those epic road trips with the family. It’s powered by an aggressive 4.0L V6 engine, and you’ll have 266 hp at your disposal so that you get exceptional performance no matter how much luggage you’re putting in the rear.

Other Manufacturers’ SUVs

We specialize in Nissan and love this iconic brand, but we also offer SUVs from other manufacturers. When folks come by to have us look at their used SUV, wondering if they can sell it to us or make a trade, we always consider it carefully, no matter the make or model. That’s because we want our used offerings to have a little something for everyone.

One of our favorites from another manufacturer is the 2011 Toyota Highlander, which is perfect for families. There’s a reason Toyota still puts out Highlander models to this day. Depending on the engine and trim, you can get some exceptional mileage, up to 28 MPG combined. With 94.1 cu.ft. of cargo space and 280 hp at its disposal, this is a great choice for the modern driver. Those stats are enviable even when compared to 2023 SUV models.

Believe it or not, you can go back even further in time and find some excellent SUVs. The 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS was rightly famed in its day. Manufacturers who were ahead of the curve when it came to the SUV craze were putting out SUVs of a quality that other companies couldn’t keep pace with for years. The Santa Fe GLS is one of those high-quality turn-of-the-millennium SUVs. Don’t let its age fool you; with 77 cu.ft. of storage and 173 hp, this vehicle can still serve you well.

The thing is, age doesn’t matter much, so long as the SUV has been kept in good shape. That’s thanks to the better build of them that we mentioned earlier. That’s why, even once new car prices slowly start to lower, the used market won’t be taking a hit. The supply chain crisis woke everyone up to the fact that buying used doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing performance and looks. Plus, with better builds comes less maintenance, allowing you more financial freedom.
