Looking for a good deal on a use car? Turns out you’re in the right place. According to a new study from CarGurus, the Miami area is the cheapest metro area in America to buy a used car. Though, the savings aren’t exactly huge.


On average you’ll pay about 6.6 percent less than the national average here in Miami. Though, second place Cleveland pays only 5.7 percent less.

According to CBS Miami, “A CarGurus spokeswoman said factors contributing to used car prices include population density, competition between dealerships, supply, and economic conditions.”

Of course, this may be an indication of our overall economic healthy. Recession-hit cities like Cleveland, Detroit, and Akron also make the top ten.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?

At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

$30,000

Though, if you’re looking to sell your car, think about driving it up to Jackson, Mississippi. On average you’ll get about 9 percent more than the national average.
