Easterns Blog

It’s easy for Maryland and Virginia residents to get discouraged if they’re hunting for a pre-owned vehicle right now. Inventories are tight and it may feel next to impossible to find a used vehicle that isn’t overpriced.

Thankfully, Easterns Automotive Group is here to help. We have literally hundreds of great low-mileage pre-owned vehicles in the sweet $20,000 to $30,000 range. Most have far fewer than 100,000 miles. In many cases they only have a few thousand miles.

Owners who bought or leased these vehicles new are selling them or getting out of their leases after just 30,000, 40,000 or 50,000 miles. In most cases these cars, trucks and SUVs have only had a single owner who has taken good care of the car and/or have kept it under their lease mileage cap.

That means you’re buying 200,000 more miles and many years of great performance at a significant discount. The steepest depreciation has already occurred, which means you’re getting a great deal on a reliable vehicle – even in a tough used car market.   

2019 Kia Soul

You can view our inventory of 2019 Kia Souls here. Most of these vehicles are the higher-end Soul! and Soul+ trim vehicles and priced at just $20,000 to $25,000, which is a steal for the relatively low mileage Souls in our inventory.

2019 Toyota Corolla

Easterns Automotive has many 2019 Toyota Corolla and Corolla LEs in our inventory, many of which have well under 60,000 miles.

2018 Toyota Camry

Depending on the trim and features, you can find a great 2018 Toyota Camry for anywhere from the low $20,000 to around $30,000. Many of the 2018 Camrys in our inventory have under 40,000 miles, meaning they still have most of their miles ahead of them.

2018 Honda Civic

The great thing about Honda Civics is they’re deservedly popular and, as a result, are relatively easy to find. You can find well over a dozen 2018 Honda Civics in Easterns Automotive’s inventory, including the EX, EX-T, Hatchback EX, LX, Coupe and more. All are priced between $20,000 and $30,000, and most have between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. Some even have far fewer miles and are CARFAX One-Owner certified.

2019 Kia Optima

The recent 2019 Kia Optima received rave reviews in part for the luxury feel of its spacious interior and the great safety and entertainment features available in even the standard trim. You can find exceptional 2019 Kia Optimas in Easterns’ inventory in the $20,000 to $30,000 range.

2018 Honda Accord

Another Honda model renowned for its reliability, class and features is the Accord. With so many Honda Accords on the road, and so many loyal Honda Accord buyers, it’s no surprise many people who buy them new trade up to newer models after just a few years of ownership.

That’s great news for value-driven pre-owned car buyers who can pick up 2018 Honda Accords at a steep discount. Many of the 2018 Honda Accords on Easterns Automotive lots have between 30,000 and 40,000 miles and are deeply discounted at between $25,000 and $30,000.

What to Look for in Pre-Owned Value

Anyone who is under the impression that you can only get a reliable, long-lasting car for $50,000 or more is simply misinformed. With the way vehicle depreciation works, many of the best, longest– lasting vehicles are available at a massive discount within three or four years of being manufactured.

These relatively new vehicles often haven’t been driven much for all kinds of reasons. In places like Baltimore or Washington D.C. many people have relatively short commutes, or only use mass transit to get to and from work or school. They might be older, retired and only use their car to run errands.  

When those drivers sell their vehicles, it’s great news for car shoppers who are looking for discounts on young vehicles – often with nice trims that are decked out with the latest and greatest features.

If you’ve done your research and know the vehicle you’re buying will have minimal maintenance needs and can reliably go more than 200,000 miles, why not buy it preowned?

With hundreds of preowned, lightly used and virtually new vehicles for sale at our eight locations in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C., you can trust Easterns Automotive has what you’re seeking. Call us at 877-867-0641 or visit our inventory to see what’s in stock.
