The excellent value-for-money proposition of used cars is driving growth in the US Used Car Market. The rising number of automakers entering the US - Used Car Market and the quality of used cars is improving in the eyes of customers due to an increased number of online dealers. Customers choose to purchase a used car over a new car, primarily due to its affordability.
However, they are often skeptical of the quality of the used vehicle as the details regarding the previous ownership of the vehicle are often vague, and any damage to the vehicle after purchase would be void of warranty. The quality of the vehicle is usually guaranteed by a number of additional benefits provided when purchasing used cars. Thus, excellent value for money from used cars will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
