These vehicles may have varying mileage, wear and tear, and maintenance histories, which should be considered by prospective buyers. While some used cars may be older models, others may still be relatively new and in excellent condition. The purchase of a used car often provides a cost-saving advantage over buying a brand-new vehicle, making it a popular choice among budget-conscious consumers.
