Used Cars For Sale in Calgary, AB (2024)

FAQs

What is the most sought after vehicle right now? ›

The “sweet spot” for purchasing a used car is between 2 to 5 years old. This is the age range where the car has already gone through the steepest part of its depreciation curve, but it's still relatively new and in good condition.

SUVs and crossovers are hot sellers as well, with the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Jeep Grand Cherokee remaining top contenders. Sedans haven't gone anywhere either, with the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord still holding strong.

There's no rule to how many miles on a used car is too much, but by attempting to stick to the 12,000 miles per year rule is a great place to start. Find out how old the car is, multiple the number of years by 12,000, and if the number on the odometer is significantly higher than that, some concern might be warranted.

Well-maintained vehicles receiving regular service can be reliable, even if they've been on the road for a decade. Research the vehicle history and get a multi-point inspection before purchasing a used vehicle over 10 years old.

Additionally, maintenance costs can quickly add up as cars age. Parts are harder to find, and labor is more time-intensive. If these concerns make you uneasy, avoid cars over 20 years old. This rule of thumb may help ensure your vehicle choice is still safe, reliable, and affordable.

How do you know if you bought a good used car? ›
