Best Vehicles for College Students in Fergus Falls, MN
Best Used Vehicles for College Students
Do you have a kid heading to college in the fall? Or maybe you are a student yourself, shopping for your first car. Either way, having a car can provide a college student with plenty of freedom to move around their area, and make it easier to visit home. Here are a few factors to consider when shopping for a vehicle for a college student.
Price
College comes with enough expenses. At Nelson Auto Center Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we carry plenty of used vehicles with low monthly payments, with plenty of special offers available to provide savings. We even have some quality used cars for sale for less than $20,000.
Dependability
When shopping for a used vehicle, it can provide a lot of peace of mind to know it's reliable. While low upfront costs are nice, reliable vehicles provide long-term savings thanks to lower maintenance costs. Some brands famous for making dependable vehicles include Honda, Subaru, and Toyota.
Body Style and Configuration
What kind of vehicle do you need on campus? A huge three-row SUV or a rugged pickup truck might look appealing on the lot, but they can rack up significant gas costs and can make parking on a crowded campus lot a challenge. Likewise, opting for a subcompact car might leave you without much space to carpool. Consider your needs and find a vehicle with the right balance of spaciousness, maneuverability, and efficiency.
Safety
Newer used vehicles are more likely to have state-of-the-art safety tech. Older models will likely save you more money, but they're also less likely to have features like forward collision warning or blind-spot alert. If safety tech matters to you, it can be worth it to save up a bit more.
Technology
Do you want a used car with a large touchscreen? Then, limit your search to recent models. Older models might lack a big display but still have smartphone connectivity, so you can easily stream your favorite tunes. On the other hand, maybe you're content with a CD player and a radio. Consider what you want from your tech into your budget.
