Owning a car can be expensive, which is why so many motorists take steps to reduce the cost of purchasing and operating a vehicle. One of the easiest ways to do this is by choosing a used car, as you can find excellent value and high quality without busting your budget. Another way to reduce the bottom line is by carpooling. 

According to Edmunds.com, carpools offer plenty of advantages to everyone involved. For one, they frequently save time, as groups can use the high-occupancy vehicle lanes, which typically have fewer cars than others. In addition to time, carpools also saved all participants money. AAA reported that one-third of drivers involved in a carpool did so to cut back on fuel costs, and when those savings were combined with things like depreciation and maintenance expenses, car owners recouped thousands of dollars per year. 

The New Jersey Department of Transportation recommends carpooling as a way to reduce costs, vehicle wear and tear, and stress. With so many drivers commuting in and out of New York City each day, as well as to other nearby metro areas, there are plenty of opportunities to share the burden of driving and save yourself time, money and aggravation in the process. 

When you need a vehicle that is capable of handling multiple passengers, whether they are friends, family members or coworkers, you may have to invest in a used car. Luckily, places like the New Jersey State Auto Auction are well equipped to meet your needs. The lot has hundreds of CARFAX-certified used cars for sale, and you could find your next ride among these options. Whether you carpool every day or save it for special occasions, you'll want an automobile that can keep up with your needs, and you can find it at this auction lot.
