Top 5 Used Sedans Under $15,000

Buying a used car with a budget attached can sometimes be daunting. It used to be that buying a used car with a budget attached wasn't always the best thing. There are a couple things that can safely put that old feeling to bed. First any car produced within the last five years has seen such a shift in technology and are made to endure longevity. Lexington used cars are no different and there are plenty great options to choose from. Without having to sacrifice quality, reliability or style, the below mentioned models all debuted within the last five years and are perfect contenders for you.

2011 Chevy Malibu

First introduced in 2008, the Malibu was one of the first in the Chevy sedan lineups to get a “modern” look rather than “classic” or “retro”. In 2009 it won North American Car of the Year award and has continued to impress critics and drivers alike. The 2011 Malibu came in four trim styles; LT, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ. Housing a 2.4L 4 cylinder engine with 169 horsepower. It has a combined average of 26 mpg (22 mpg city/33 mpg highway). The LT and LTZ boast a 3.6L 6V engine with 252 horsepower. Having improved on exterior style to come with a more sleek, sportier approach, Chevy didn’t lack on the interior details either. Immediately noticeable are the two-toned trim colors, ambient lighting and a blue backlight to illuminate the gauges. The seats provide enough room for every guest or grocery bag. Safety is of particular importance to the good people at Chevrolet and they have something to brag about with the Malibu. Featuring both front side and head curtain airbags, the 2011 Malibu comes equipped with antilock disk brakes as well as stability and traction control. Having earned an overall rating of four stars out of a possible five, with four stars for overall frontal crash protection and five stars for overall side crash protection, the Malibu outshined the new regulations for crash testing that the government instituted that year. The 2011 Malibu was awarded their highest rating of "Good" in its frontal-offset and side-impact testing by the IIHS, Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Providing good fuel economy, excellent safety standards and a fun drive, this is the first great choice of many you’ll be making.

2010 Ford Fusion

The 2010 Fusion received both an exterior and interior makeover for this model year. Getting your pick of either front wheel or all wheel drive, you also get the choice of the 3.0L or 3.5L V6, though the 3.5 is reserved for the Sports trim, which makes it quite a bit faster. Redesigning the interior to not only look more inviting but also user friendly has bridged a big gap between older and newer models. A newly styled dashboard is highlighted with metallic accents and The exterior nods its head at a more aerodynamic shape with sportier lines. Tweaks to the headlamps, hood and undercarriage provide both utilitarian as well as aesthetic appeal to the 2010 Fusion. SYNC is featured in the Fusion as a voice activated communications system. Operating hands free by the sound of your voice, you can command phone calls, search through contacts, change media mode without having to take your eye off the road. The 2.5L 4 cylinder engine wins in fuel efficiency with 23 mpg city and 34 mpg of highway driving beating out the 6 cylinder 18 mpg/25 mpg (city/highway).

2010 Toyota Camry

Could be the most refined on the list with a quiet, comfortable and elegant ride, the 2010 Camry is a win in most categories. The midcycle makeover had some notable changes to the 2010 model was welcomed. Among the changes; replacing the older 2.4L engine to a 2.5L engine as well as upgrading the previous years 5 speed is the new 6 speed automatic or manual transmission. Other upgrades include larger headlights, new grille and redesigned tail light. Bluetooth and satellite radio were introduced as standard in the 2010 Camry. Coming in four different trim models, a 3.5L V6 was offered in every one but the base model. Boasting 268 horsepower and 248 lb./ft. torque the 2010 Camry still gets an impressive 19 mpg/28 mpg city/highway. The 2.5 4 cylinder, 168 horsepower, is the more fuel efficient sedan getting 22 mpg/33 mpg (city/highway). With top notch ratings in safety, it’s understood why the Camry is always a preferred family sedan. Every 2010 Toyota Camry came equipped with antilock brakes with brake assist, stability control, front-seat airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and a driver knee airbag. The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Camry a perfect five stars in all frontal and side impact categories. The IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) gave their top rating of “Good” in frontal-offset and side-impact crash tests. The interior, while designed for function and utility, also caters to comfortability. Plenty roomy enough for your family with all sorts of storage nooks to hide away toys and books, this is the car you take on your family vacation. Automatic dual-zoned climate control, bluetooth connectivity, reclining and folding rear seats, moonroof and leather interior are available on the XLE trim and would still have you below the $15,000 mark. Possibly one of the best perks of cars a couple years older; affordable luxury upgrades.

2013 Chevy Sonic

Developed as a replacement to the Aveo, that was treated like a red-headed step-sister, the Chevy Sonic has been impressing mom and dad since day one. Attempting to please everyone, the Sonic is available as a sedan or a four-door hatchback. The options on this one are plentiful. Coming with a 4 cylinder engine that has left some to wonder what the fuss is, the upgrade to the turbocharged 4 cylinder has critics much happier. The turbocharged engine provides a smoother, quieter ride and provides better fuel economy. The option for standard 5 speed manual or 6 speed automatic transmission both exist which is nice for those who don’t get that choice in most sedans anymore. A six speed manual comes standard on the turbocharged. The turbocharged also gets the best EPA mileage coming in at 29 mpg city and 40 mpg highway. That bests the base model at 26 mpg/35 mpg (city/highway). It also beats most others in this category. Like others in this category the 2013 Sonic also received top rating of “Good” by the IIHS. The Sonic got an overall of five stars in safety ratings from NHTSA. As as a welcomed surprise, it’s roomier than its smaller size would leave you to suppose. The interior design has left some underwhelmed, but given its base and and where you’re finding the perks, that seems alright with the audience. The perks are in the audio and stereo system. Using MyLink as the infotainment system, there is also satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity and a six speaker system. Its bright colors and bold features, along with great technological perks coming standard, this 2013 Sonic appears to be playing to a younger, more hip demographic.

2011 Mazda 6

Probably the most attractive sedan on the list, the Mazda 6 can prove it is more than just good looking, though some of its best qualities are in athletic handling and engaging performance. C’mon Mazda, we all know you’re the cool kid in class. Go ahead and take a bow. Coming standard with a 6 speed manual, 6 or 5 speed automatics are also an option. The 4 cylinder engine ranks about the same as its competitors in fuel economy; 22 mpg/31 mpg (city/highway). An option for the 3.7L V6 engine, which matches its sporty shape by reaching 60 mph in 6.5 seconds using 272 horsepower. Boasting the largest trunk space in its class, the Mazda 6 compromises nothing in interior room and comfort. Thoughtful and considerate to ergonomics, the seating is available in leather in different trims. Rated “Good” by the IIHS, some of its safety features aren’t as strong as others in this category, but the Mazda 6 is still getting top safety awards. With all these models possessing similar qualities and ratings, their styles and trims are all quite different. For under $15,000 you get a stellar choice of sedans with value, style and reliability. Your local Lexington dealer will help place you in that’s best for you.

Top 5 Things to Look for on Used Cars Under $10,000 There are many things to look for when shopping for a used vehicle in the $10,000 price range.  Some of the top things to look for are the car's ownership history, the service records, it's current condition, information about the selling dealer, and whether or not it's a good deal!  Some people only focus on the numbers which is a dangerous thing to do.  Buying the cheapest car within 500 miles seems like a win...until you find out it has been in 3 accidents, 2 crime scenes, and had the nick name Rusty Salvage by it's previous owner.  Let's take a closer look at the top five. The History of the Car Has this used car been wrecked?  How many previous owners did this car have?  What region of the US is the car from? Is the title clean (not rebuilt, salvage, flooded, etc)?  These are the basic questions you must have answers to before wasting your time on a vehicle that you consider being a good deal.  You can find answers to these questions by studying the CarFax Vehicle History Reports that are on each vehicle listing on the Dan Cummins website.  We provide this information free of charge and the report is the FULL History Report.  CarFax is the most trusted document that details used car history.  There are other companies that provide information such as AutoCheck but this is not as reputable or reliable method to do your homework.  Knowing the history of used cars under $10,000 is very important. Service Records Proof Proof Proof.  Seeing is believing and we want you to see as much evidence and documentation as possible to help you make the right decision about a car.  We inspect and service our vehicles and often times the previous owner has given us service records on the vehicle that that traded in to us.  This is really important on a used car under $10,000.  Usually these cars have been on the road for years and their maintenance history is vital to know.  If there is no additional documentation in the used car, then you can also consult the CarFax to see maintenance history.  Some cars will even be given the "Regular Oil Changes" badge on the vehicle history report.  If I'm spending under $10,000 for a car, this is info that I'd want to know! Vehicle Condition You can read a CarFax, examine the vehicle description online, study third party research on the model itself from websites like Edmunds but you'll never fully know the condition until you see it with your own eyes.  We'll take the time to show you all 100 used cars under $10,000 if you like.  They all are different.  Some may have been garage kept.  Many have never seen the inside of a garage.  Others may smell like the Louis Vuitton store and others may smell like smoke.  You won't know until you use your senses on the lot to discover what is right for you.  Mechanically, speaking, we service and recondition the cars to get them road ready, but there are many other things that you have to experience for yourself.  We are nothing more that guides at the dealership.  We're not interesting in selling you anything but rather we want to help guide you through the purchase process by providing you as much information as we can.  Should you want to get a second opinion and have the car inspected by a third party shop, we encourage it.  We even have a 72 Hour Exchange Promise to allow you to change your mind and pick a different vehicle that is right for you.  Always check the condition of used cars under $10,000. The Seller Reputation is everything and you should definitely research the seller.  What does the Better Business Bureau say about the seller?  Are they an A rated business?  I know that we are at Dan Cummins because we simply take care of our customers and handle our problems that arise.  Did you read the reviews on Google?  Our reviews aren't perfect but you can see that we strive to answer and own issues that arise.  Read through the reviews on our Dan Cummins Google Business Listing.  At the time this article was written we have over 2,600 Google Reviews at a 4.7 average Star Rating.  Many of these reviews come from people just like you looking for used cars under $10,000.  Also, ask your friends and family about us.  There are thousands of people who have "Driven to Paris for a Dan Cummins Deal" over the years.  They'll tell you we are the place to do business. The Deal Is this a good deal on this used car under $10,000?  Is this a bad deal on this used car under $10,000?  That is the main question you have to know before pulling the trigger.  The above 4 factors should definitely weigh in on your decision because an accident free car that is a 1-Owner which shows plenty of service records on the CarFax History Report is more valuable than the others.  A used car under $10000 being sold by a reputable dealer such as Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will give you even more peace of mind.  We'll show you the vehicle's book values provided by Kelly Blue Book, NADA, and any other source you wish.  We'll show you others listed for sale at different dealerships and provide the data that shows ours is priced right.  And most importantly we stand behind our products by even providing our Lifetime Powertrain Guarantee on all those that qualify. Third Party Sites for used cars under $10,000 There are many websites that allow you to search through thousands of used cars under $10,000 in one place.  Some of the leading sites are CarGurus, AutoTrader, and Cars.com. AutoTrader has traditionally done an excellent job advertising used cars.  I can remember seeing the AutoTrader magazines in grocery stores and everywhere else you could imagine with pages and pages of used cars for sale.  There would be dealer ads, private party listings and more.  Most of the ads had one picture, a few words highlighting the vehicle, and a phone number.  My have things changed!  Now that magazine has become one of the world's most searched and visited websites.  There are thousands and thousands of vehicles listed for sale with tons of information that used to be invisible to the consumer.  It's easy to filter searches for the type of vehicle or the price range for which you are searching and this can save you time and frustration vs bouncing from dealer lot to dealer lot.  You'll see many of our used cars under $10,000 listed there for sale. CarGurus is considered one of the newer places to search for used cars online.  There model shows vehicles with their own Instant Market Value or IMV.  You'll see "Great Deal, Good Deal, Fair Deal, or OverPriced" on each vehicle listing when enough market data is present.  Of course you may think that finding only the vehicles with Great deal is what you want but, that is not always the case.  You have to dig deeper into the data on the vehicle to still make sure it's a Great Deal.  I'll break this down for you in another blog post.  This website has climbed up in the search rankings on Google to become one of the most relevant search sites online today.  You'll also see all of our used cars under $10,000 on CarGurus and you'll see the Good Deal and Great Deal rating badges on them. Cars.com has also reconfigured their site to give you the shopper tools to gauge value.  You'll also see "Great Deal, Good Deal" on the used car listings there.  They also do a pretty good job with giving you research tools to help you narrow down your vehicle choice. We list all of our used cars on these sites as well as on our own website www.dancummins.com.  But what is great about our site is that you have full access to the vehicle's CarFax History report pricing information, and access to our staff via chat, phone, email, and text.  We always carry around 100 vehicles priced under $10,000 and these vehicles usually require a bit more research.  We're here to answer all of your questions and to show you as many vehicles as you wish to test.  They're all located in one place right here at Dan Cummins in Paris, KY!

5 Tips to Help You Choose the Right Used Car in Kentucky

While paying a lower sale price for the same car model used rather than new is the obvious reason to buy a used car in Kentucky, there are others as well. Buying a used car is a good way for a family on a budget to save money. Then, an owner can buy a used car, drive it and sell it with little loss in equity. Even so, all used cars are not created equal. As a consumer you should research the most cost-effective way to own a car. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice: 1. Investigate the Actual Market Value of a Used Car in Kentucky To start with, find out the actual market value of all cars you are considering. You can use an online tool at Dan Cummins to check their estimated prices. You can either search by brand name or body-style. Or you can enter the following information to start your research: Type Model Manufacturing year Distance covered Condition of the car You don’t want to be stuck with the wrong car for years, so do your research. An estimated price can be a base-line for your negotiation with the seller. 2. Ins pect the Condition of the Car The price of the car is dependent on the condition of the used car. Maintenance is the most important factor in Kentucky used cars that can make or break a deal. Well-maintained cars are often more expensive, but upkeep is cheaper. This makes them popular with used car buyers. Look at the following to learn the condition of the car before buying: No denting and damages on the body of the car. Check for any repulsive smell or stubborn stains in the interiors. The seats of the car must be comfortable and in good quality. The wear and tear on the car tires. Functional effectiveness of the car lights, seat belts, music system, and other accessories. Look under the hood for assessing engine’s conditions and check for any leaks. No crack on hoses or loose belts. 3. Go for a Test Drive There is no other way to determine whether you like the car than going on a test drive. Get in the car and drive it. Test out all the features. Check these points to make a decision: Test the brakes and clutch system. Listen for any grinding sounds. Keep an eye on the car transmission as smooth transmission is a good indicator. Check for any blue or white smoke from the exhaust. Make sure all the amenities function including: power steering, center locking, and power windows. Assess the music system for a comfortable fit with your lifestyle. Verify if heating and air conditioning systems are operational. 4. Get an Expert Opinion Get an expert mechanic to look over the car you are considering. A thorough inspection of the working and functional aspects of the car will help. Often, mechanics provide suggestions and recommendations to help you narrow down your choices. He can help you detect: Any fluid leaks under the vehicle. Reveal any suspension problems. Engine performance issues. Any problems with the body, frame or wiring. A typical prepurchase inspection cost ranges from $100 - $200. Most dealership facilities will cover a detailed checklist to give you a validated report. 5. Talk to Previous Owner/s It's always good to get information directly from the car;s previous owners. Ask the previous owners and assess their authenticity. Tell them what you are looking for in a car. Check the vehicle history to see if the car has undergone serious repairs in the past. Assess the level of maintenance based on how well-spaced the maintenance visits were. Ask if there are any particular malfunctions. Ask why they want to sell the car.
