New Report: Top Three Best Deals on Used Vehicles in 20 US Cities for December, Average Savings $3,039
Austin, TX (PRWEB) December 16, 2015 -- CarStory today released its Used Vehicle Deal Alert which lists money-saving deals on vehicles from luxury (Mercedes-Benz S) to affordable (Nissan Versa), available across the US, just in time for the holidays. Revealing an average savings of $3,039, or 17% per vehicle, the report outlines the top three best used car deals in 20 select U.S. cities for the month of December.
The Deal Alert shows savings as high as $7,938 on the Mercedes-Benz S in Philadelphia, but also substantial savings on less pricey vehicles, such as an over $2,000 savings on Kia Optimas in Pittsburgh. Los Angeles had the biggest savings on a percentage basis, while San Francisco saved the most dollars overall. But the West doesn’t completely dominate: Philadelphia had the second highest average cash savings, while Atlanta came in fourth, with the Chevrolet Sonic offering Atlanta’s best discount on a percentage basis (20.6%).
The report also looks at the used vehicles consumers are most interested in (regardless of price), based on the volume of searches across an inventory of over four million used vehicles, with the ever popular Ford F-150 topping the list.
“With so much information out there, finding the best deals on used cars can be challenging for consumers. Our CarStory Deal Alerts analyze millions of pieces of pricing data to help consumers cut through the digital noise and save dollars this holiday season, while also giving them a snapshot of what other consumers are searching for,” said Chad Bockius, CMO of CarStory. “There is something out there for everyone, from Kia to Jeep to Lexus!”
