A new survey by Consumer Reports has revealed that more American are interested in buying a used car in 2011.<\/p>\n
As part of the Brand Perception Survey, the consumer guide asked respondents about their likelihood to consider a used car for their next vehicle purchase. In total, 71 percent of respondents said that they would be more likely to consider a used vehicle for their next car than they would have been several years ago. Forty-seven percent of that total further stipulated that they would "very likely" make a used car their next vehicle purchase.<\/p>\n
The survey further broke down the data by revealing that 75 percent of men were considering a used car, compared to 67 percent of women surveyed.<\/p>\n
The guide cites several advantages to buying used over new. In addition to being obviously cheaper than new cars, drivers who buy a used car avoid the rapid depreciation that occurs as soon as they drive a vehicle off of a lot. And with the lifespan of vehicles extended greatly by new technology, there isn't too much of a difference maintenance-wise in buying a used vehicle, especially if its a certified pre-owned car backed by a manufacturer's warranty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
