If you find yourself stuck in traffic jams or battling heavy congestion on the roads each day, rest assured it's not just your bad luck. There are more cars on the road now than in the past several years, and much of this influx is due to the rebounding economy, as well as an improved pool of used cars for sale. 

According to research from Experian Automotive, the number of vehicles on the road has reached its highest level since 2009. The total number of registered cars and light trucks reached 247.9 million by the end of the third quarter of 2013, which was the largest amount in four years. 

That's not the only noteworthy mark. The data from Experian also revealed that the average age of all vehicles on the road was 10.9 years – more than a full year older than the average at the same time in 2009. In fact, more than half of all of the vehicles on the road were manufactured between 2000 and 2008, meaning that the majority of the all cars were used models. 

The increasing number of vehicles on the road is a reflection of the economic environment, which makes it easier for all drivers to get a car than in recent years. If you're a prospective buyer who is ready to join the legions of motorists heading to the highways, consider stopping by New Jersey State Auto Auction to browse through the selection of pre-owned vehicles. This auction lot boasts hundreds of CARFAX-certified cars, trucks and vans, and any one of these automobiles could be a solid choice for drivers looking to get behind the wheel.
