So for example, a Honda devaluates slowly because most of society today perceives it as a great car. Yet its slow devaluation will force you to spend a lot of money to buy it used. American cars are your best used car value. While American cars are improperly perceived as not being as good as Japanese cars, this assumption tends to devaluate American cars more rapidly. Structurally and mechanically American cars are some of the most durable cars in the world.
Domestic cars are less expensive to repair and offer more repair people and facilities.
You want to buy a low mileage car or the lowest you can get, 12-15,000 miles per year is average. In planning to buy a used car look back four, five or six years for an excellent well-cared for domestic product. For the same dollar value you will actually get more luxury, more safety and greater durability than with an import. The history of Japanese cars for crash-worthiness is poor when compared with the history of American cars. It's surprising to find some of the best used car values have the name of Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Ford and Mercury.
