Advice For Buying A Used Car | Newport News, VA

Advice for Buying a Used Car | Casey Credit | Newport News, VA

Newport News is a busy, vibrant city — and one of the most populated here in Virginia. It’s important that you drive a vehicle that’s suited to the narrow lanes and stop-and-go traffic of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. That’s why we at Casey Auto have created this guide on what city drivers like you should look for in a used car at our dealership.

Tight, Responsive Turning

Handling should be one of the top aspects you prioritize on your next car. The ability to easily maneuver through traffic, make tight U-turns, and swing sharp right turns at a moment’s notice are useful for drivers here in busy Newport News. That means looking at a vehicle with a short wheelbase like the Honda Civic or Jeep® Wrangler.

Compact Dimensions

Our advice to most people in Newport News is to not buy the biggest SUV, van, or truck on our lot. Otherwise, you’re going to find it difficult to squeeze into tight parallel parking spots downtown or into cramped parking garages. Compact crossovers like the Ford Escape and Subaru Outback typically have sufficient passenger space for most families without being a behemoth. Sedans like the Chevrolet Malibu still make great family vehicles, too.

Driving Assistance Features

You can’t always watch everything occurring around you from behind the wheel. That’s why having tools like Blind Spot Monitor, Forward Collision Warning, and Parking Assist are worthwhile in large cities. A used vehicle with these safety systems will give you extra eyes on your periphery. Some recent pre-owned Toyota and Honda models at Casey Auto come with these features.

Great Fuel Economy

Look for a used car that gets great gas mileage in stop-and-go traffic by looking at its EPA rating in city traffic. Generally, this means a smaller engine like a four-cylinder with a turbocharger rather than a hulking V6 or V8. Cars like the Kia Optima and Tiguan are known for excellent fuel economy. You may also want to consider a hybrid like a Toyota Prius.
