Have you checked car prices recently? The used car business may be hotter than real estate at this point. That’s because many car buyers don’t want to have a $600 monthly bill for the next 7 years if they spring for a new car and used cars are rapidly increasing in demand.
The last car I bought was a 2008 Jeep Liberty. I bought it for about $6500 at Madison Motors and drove it for 6 ½ years. I loved my Jeep. It was a six-speed stick, but Nancy hated it – because it was a six-speed stick.
When inspection time came up, I recently had to decide whether to spend a little more money in upkeep and keep my old friend on the road or whether to spring for a newer model that did better on mileage – and one that Nancy would drive.
So, we drove out to Madison Motors to poke around. My old friend Dwight Foster (the owner) was on the lot and pointed out an exceptional buy – a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage (a small hatchback) with only 13,500 miles that was priced under $14,000. It was a local trade-in on a truck. Dwight gave me a great deal on my Jeep and now the little Mitsubishi is sitting in my driveway, promising to get me 40 mpg on the next trip.
If you go to a regular car dealer, you will pay the price. If you go to Madison Motors and deal with Dwight, you’ll come home with a quality car at a reasonable price.
Dwight is able to maintain an excellent inventory of quality used cars and trucks because through the years he has established great relationships with major dealers who call him with trade ins that are in good condition.
The big care dealers generally don’t fool with anything below $20,000 as they prefer to sell higher priced used carss. Some of their used trucks are fifty-grand.
But not everyone wants or can afford a high dollar used car – one of those low mileage beauties with a price tag just below a new car.
Madison Motors deals in less expensive cars, trucks, and vans. They pay fair prices and give good trade in allowances to their customers, then Dwight thoroughly inspects each vehicle before he offers it on his lot and stands behind each car.
If you’re interested in selling your car without a hassle, give Dwight a call at (540) 407-9901. If you need a nice used car and don’t want to pay a king’s ransom, pay him a visit at 2736 S. Seminole Trail in Madison. He’s a man you can really trust, and he pays top prices for used cars and trade ins.
