A used SUV can be a great way to get more vehicle for your money. An SUV is a sports utility vehicle, also called a four wheel drive vehicle, or just four wheeler. Just because it is used does not mean that it is worthless, or unreliable. Used vehicles retain value for years after they are no longer considered new, and finding a great quality used SUV can save you thousands simply because the car was driven four or five hundred miles. In this case, the SUV is classified as used even though it is still under a thousand miles, and is nowhere near used condition.
The value and price of an SUV drops dramatically as soon as it is purchased and driven off the dealer lot, so look for an SUV that has very low miles and a very low price as well. It is possible to get a discount of thousands of dollars or more, simply because the SUV has been driven for a short period of time. The cost of a used SUV will vary greatly, depending upon the year, make, model, and options, as well as the general condition of the SUV. Some people can own a vehicle and keep it in mint condition or better for years, while others can own a vehicle and never do one thing to clean or keep up the condition. A used SUV can be in top condition, and in this instance the price will be higher than a used SUV in poor condition.
Things like dents, scrapes, burn holes in the upholstery, broken safety equipment, poor exterior or interior maintenance, chipped or peeling paint on the body, major body damage from an accident, and other defects are a great bargaining chip to lowering the price of a used SUV even further. A used SUV can be a great vehicle to own, whether you are a soccer mom worried about winter driving with the kids or a business executive who has to get through no matter what the road conditions are. Almost all of the car makers today have at least one model which is an SUV, so no matter what your preferences are, it is possible to find a used SUV that will fit your budget, lifestyle, and preferences. Prices for a used SUV can start as low as a couple thousand dollars, and they can go up to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the make and model of the SUV, as well as the age and condition.
