SUVs are one of the most versatile vehicles in the industry, catering to a long list of drivers' needs. Of course, it also helps that they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with seating capacities ranging from five to nine in newer models such as the Suburban, Sequoia, or Armada. The popularity of the SUV also means there are a number of them in pre-owned inventories, like our extensive selection at NJ State Auto Used Cars.

When it comes to purchasing a vehicle, there are a few priorities that all drivers have, including finding something dependable, adaptable, and stylish. SUVs offer all these things, which is why they're so popular. However, buying a brand-new SUV isn't always the best financial choice. Instead, many drivers find that purchasing a used SUV is a better investment because it provides several benefits without the high cost. Those benefits are explored further below.
New automobiles lose a considerable amount of their value within the first few years of ownership—up to 20% in the first year and 15% for the next four to five years. By choosing a used SUV, you bypass the steepest portion of the depreciation curve. This means you're paying closer to the vehicle's true value, and you'll take less of a financial hit if you decide to sell it later.
When you buy used, your budget tends to go further. Instead of purchasing a base model of a new SUV, you may be able to find a higher trim level with sophisticated features such as premium sound systems, leather interiors, all-wheel drive, and advanced safety technology within your budget.
With proper maintenance, modern SUVs can last beyond 200,000 miles. Choosing a used SUV with a proven track record allows you to enjoy years of dependable performance for a fraction of the cost. Online tools, such as vehicle history records and dependability ratings, make it easier than ever to research a vehicle before buying. We help you with this by adding a link to the CARFAX report within each description of the vehicles we have in stock if you're shopping online. If you're at our dealership, we can provide you with the report in person.
Insurance premiums are typically based on the value of the vehicle, making a used SUV less expensive to insure than a new one. This provides you with not only the initial savings you'll gain from purchasing a pre-owned SUV over a new one but also recurring savings.
As mentioned, the popularity of the SUV means the used market is large, with a diverse range of models, years, and price ranges. Whether you're looking for a fuel-efficient compact SUV for city driving or a rugged full-size SUV for off-road adventures, you're certain to discover a used car that meets your requirements and budget.
Additionally, because a used SUV is less expensive to purchase, you may have more money to spend on customization. This allows you to upgrade the infotainment system, add roof racks, or invest in premium tires, ensuring you get exactly what you want.
You can view our inventory online or in person. When doing so, you'll find that we have a number of options from various brands, model years, and trim levels—including some of the top brands in the industry. For instance, both Honda and Toyota SUVs are well known for their dependability and focus on safety, while brands like BMW, Volvo, and Land Rover offer luxury. Additionally, many of the SUVs you'll find in our inventory offer the latest technological features, such as hands-free driving, wireless charging, and more.
When shopping online, be sure to use the filters. These allow you to narrow your selection easily, making the experience both stress- and hassle-free. In person, we can provide you with the same opportunity by focusing on your wants and needs to reduce the inventory and ensure you find the right match for your driving lifestyle and needs.
Another note about our inventory is that you'll notice we only take vehicles that meet the highest standards. We want you to get the most out of your purchase, so we focus on vehicles we would choose ourselves rather than taking anything that comes our way. You also gain peace of mind knowing that every vehicle on our lot has been inspected thoroughly to ensure it will continue to last for a long time.
Finally, we also strive to offer fair pricing, ensuring you get a great deal on your used SUV. This gives you confidence in the decision you've made and proves our dedication to providing area drivers with a dealership and team they can trust.
One of the most stressful parts of buying a new or used vehicle is the financial side of things. For this reason, we strive to make the process easy. First, you can apply for financing online using our quick application. It only takes a few minutes and won't impact your credit score. Additionally, you'll find that we also have a link to Capital One financing.
Second, we work with a wide range of credit histories, meaning we can often help even if your credit is less than perfect. This is thanks, in part, to our ability to work with even the most complex situations, such as debt consolidation, refinancing, and bad credit loans. If you're concerned about your particular situation, contact us and talk with a member of our finance team. We're easy to connect with, either through text or email. You can also wait to start the process until you're at the dealership and ask any questions you have at that time.
Purchasing a used SUV is a wise financial decision that balances value, adaptability, and dependability. With so many options on the market and technologies to assess vehicle quality, buying used is easier than ever, especially with our NJ State Auto Used Cars team on your side. Whether you need a trustworthy family vehicle, an off-road explorer, or a fashionable commuter, a used SUV may be the ideal choice—without compromising your budget or lifestyle.
