Car shopping this time of the year can be a challenge.
The test drives are a challenge because the streets are crowded with shoppers who are trying to get a start on the holiday season. The 2018 models of some cars have come our already, so it may be difficult to find an older model that comes with all the trim items that you want. And while end of the year prices are sometimes attractive, many car shoppers are somewhat reluctant to commit to another monthly payment so close to the holidays.
Whether you are looking at new vehicles or used vehicles, though, sometimes the best approach is to make sure that you really trust the car manufacturer. If, for instance, you have always had good luck with Dogde vehicles, then you might be tempted to stay with that brand. In fact, for some families, buying a car made by another manufacturer is never even a discussion point. Once a Dogde family, always a Dogde family.

Consider some of these statistics about the top of the line vehicles that Dodge offers that encourage buyers to come back again and again:

• Americans drive their cars and trucks an average of just over 10,000 miles a year and get an oil change every 3,000 miles.
• 54% of used cars in the year 2015 were three years old or younger, according to Edmunds.com reports.
• There were 9.81 million total used-vehicle sales in the first quarter of the year 2015, according to Edmunds.
• Nearly 40 million used cars exchange hands each year between private-party and dealership sales.
• It is important to consider a vehicle that is certified pre-ownedIf if you are planning to buy a vehicle that is less than five years old.
• The average price of a used car in 2016 was $19,189, according to the Edmunds 2016 Used Vehicle Market Report. This represented a 3.4% increase from the year 2015.

Buyers take many things into consideration when they get ready to buy a new or used cars. From a budget for potential future car repairs if they purchase a used vehicle to understanding how much value a new car loses the second it drives off the lot, the wisest car buyers understand the market and the questions they should ask when they enter a sales room or step on a car lot.
