Why Plug-in Vehicles Make Great Used Cars

 

Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles have been around long enough now that we are starting to get some really useful- and encouraging- data on their value as used vehicles.

 

Hybridcars.com recently wrote an excellent article on the bargains available when looking at used plug-in vehicles.  Even with large federal rebate incentives (up to $7500), the new prices on these vehicles can still keep them out of the affordable range for many consumers.  Since many manufacturers are offering excellent lease deals, there are many more of them coming back into the used market, making them more affordable.

 

According to the article, a "near-new" Nissan Leaf averages just $12,533, compared to the new cost of roughly $30,000, which includes the $7500 federal rebate incentive. 

 

 Hybrid cars are also some of the fastest-selling vehicles on the market, though, so buyers need to active if they are looking for a specific model.  The Toyota Prius, for example, is the fastest-selling car on used dealer lots, with an average selling time of just 19.7 days, which is twice as fast as the average for a near-new car. 

 

We have a great selection of pre-owned hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles here at Driver's Coice.  Take a look at our inventory and schedule a test-drive today.

Chevys, Chevys, Everywhere Chevys

 

Driver's Choice is the Quad Cities Used Car Supercenter, and as such, we carry a wide variety of vehicle brands.  Everything from Acura to Volvo, we currently have over thirty manufacturers represented in our inventory.

 

That being said, it's no secret that our domestic brands are near and dear to our hearts.  We appreciate not only the American car companies products, but the hard working men and women that produce them.  There is no better example than Chevrolet. 

 

We currently have 11 pre-owned Chevy Equinox on hand.  For someone looking for a mid-size SUV, you can't go wrong with one of these.  It is consistently one of our best-selling vehicles.

If a sedan is more to your liking, you can take your pick of 17 Chevy Impalas.  The wildly popular Impala is a roomy, safe, and stylish 4-door. 

You can see our collection of pre-owned Chevrolet cars, trucks, and SUVs at Lujack's Driver's Choice Used Car Supercenter in Davenport, IA
