Even in today's market where used cars may not be as abundant, budget-conscious buyers are increasingly turning to well-maintained pre-owned vehicles. At our website, we cater to these shoppers by offering a wide array of excellent quality used cars. Ivan Drury, an expert from the reputable car-shopping platform Edmunds, recommends several key steps for a smarter purchase: obtaining a vehicle history report, having the car inspected by a professional mechanic, and carefully scrutinizing for additional wear beyond the listed mileage. LA City Cars takes this one step further by providing all these services free of charge for every used car on our lot.
All our certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles come with warranty coverage, thereby alleviating some of the concerns typically associated with buying a second-hand car. The lower depreciation rate makes purchasing a used car a long-standing cost-effective strategy.
A recent iSeeCars study analyzed over 2 million vehicles to pinpoint reasonably priced older models that still have considerable longevity. The top 20 automobiles and trucks over ten years old averaged at just $12,814, with more than 100,000 miles remaining—equivalent to about 46% of their expected lifespan. Most LA City Cars are even younger, ranging from only 3 to 4 years old, thus presenting an even better value proposition in terms of their remaining useful life.
Drury reassures potential buyers that reaching the 100,000-mile mark is no longer a cause for concern, given the significant advancements in car durability over the past decade. A Chevrolet Impala tops the list, and LA City Cars currently has two Impalas in stock:
- 2019 Chevrolet Impala Premier
- 2019 Chevrolet Impala LT
Another standout option is the Toyota Prius, which can be purchased for under $14,000 and boasts a robust driving range of up to 130,000 miles while being fuel-efficient.
Other competitive sedans, SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks available through LA City Cars include:
