Discontinued models could provide value to buyers of used cars in New York

As automakers struggle to control costs, models are being dropped and that could mean savings forr buyers considering used cars in New York, according to an Edmunds.com report.

Two losses include the Cadillac CTS-V and the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, two sportier versions of other cars that the reviewers loved, especially the CTS-V whose “handling is exceptional and thankfully, its pricing is more down-to-earth than that of its Teutonic rivals.”

It may also benefit buyers to look at a used Cadillac CTS-V in New York, as well as other discontinued models, because used car values depreciate more rapidly when there are no new cars in the line.

“The CTS makes you feel like you’re piloting a Corvette or a Viper,” noted the Chicago Tribune of the 2005 model, adding, “the V-Series CTS does things you don’t expect from a sedan, and certainly not from a Cadillac.”

For those looking for a more affordable option, used Chevrolet Cobalts in New York that come in the SS trim offer a 260-horsepower engine that helps 0-60 times of less than 60 seconds with 25 mpg combined.
