The best cars to buy used rather than new

These cars are the best to buy used, rather than new. They're substantially cheaper than a new model, even though the data comes from 2019 or 2020 models sold used. The gorgeous Infiniti Q60 is one of them.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is over $8,000 cheaper if you nab a used one.

Luxury cars are the better deals, though. A Mercedes-Benz GLA is on average $13,500 cheaper.

The Cadillac XT5 is one of the only used luxury SUVs to make the list, and costs almost $15,000 less on average.

Want a Mercedes-Benz sedan? A CLA is over $13,000 cheaper.

The humble Kia Sorento is nearly $9,000 less expensive.

Another luxury sedan on the list is the BMW 3 Series, which can be over $15,000 cheaper.

The lovely Nissan Sentra can be a steal used with a $6,000 discount over a new model.

The Hyundai Santa Fe in used form can slash almost 30% off the manufacturer suggested retail price with a $9,000 discount.

Another luxury sedan, the Infiniti Q50 can cost $16,000 less if you shop used.

Hyundai's Sonata is ripe for big discounts used with nearly $10,000 off the retail price.

A Ford Mustang is another good buy used with an average of $13,000 knocked off the price from a new model.

The other luxury SUV is the GMC Yukon Denali, which can cost nearly $23,000 less.

A BMW 5 Series might be in the budget with nearly a $25,000 saving over a new one.

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is already affordable, but a used one can take nearly $5,000 off the price.
