Being on a budget can drastically affect how you go about shopping for something you need. That's certainly the case when looking for a new car purchase, as most prospective drivers need to search for a vehicle that combines safety, technology and performance in one affordable package – especially if they are a below-prime buyer who needs a car loan to complete the transaction. <\/p>\n

According to a report from CarFinance.com, below-prime buyers account for 43 percent of all auto loans and are constantly searching for great value and longevity in their vehicles. As a result, the most popular models in this segment may reflect the extensive warranties, special features and attractive price range many people are looking for. <\/p>\n

"While compact sedans rule the CarFinance.com new vehicle list, when it comes to used, pickups and midsize\/large sedans dominate, with no compacts making the top 10," said Jim Landy, president and CEO of CarFinance.com. "This is a consumer looking for multi-use trucks and larger, fit-the-whole-family vehicles, but seeking those relatively high-cost vehicles at a significantly lower used price point." <\/p>\n

The most popular used car for below-prime buyers was the Ram 1500 truck. That was followed by the Nissan Altima, Ford<\/a> F150 and Dodge<\/a> Charger, while several Chevrolet<\/a> models – the Silverado 1500, Impala, and Malibu – the Toyota<\/a> Camry, Chrysler<\/a> 300 and Ford Mustang rounded out the top 10. <\/p>\n

Prospective car owners don't have to be classified as below-prime to be on the hunt for a great deal. Almost all drivers are trying to get the most bang for their buck while shopping around for a new ride, and taking cues from below-prime buyers may help them find some hidden gems. Of course, savvy drivers can always head to NJ State Auto Auction<\/a> to check out the selection of CARFAX certified cars, trucks and vans. If you're looking for a great deal on a used car, the selection at New Jersey Auto Auction<\/a> could have just what you need. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
