Future Classic | 1990-1993 Geo Storm and Isuzu Impulse

You don’t see a lot of Geo-branded cars on the road these days, despite the fact that the General Motors‘ captive-import brand was actually pretty successful for around a decade. Perhaps the most recognizable vehicle to roll into Geo showrooms was the Prizm, which basically amounted to a rebadged Toyota Corolla built in California (which […] July 24, 2022 at 01:15AM

Honda and Acura expand CPO offerings to include 10-year-old cars

With valuations having gone ballistic, buyers are spending more than ever to purchase used cars at the same time cars with 100,000 miles or more are now considered just mildly used. Effectively, the market is full of folks splashing what was new-car money not long ago on a vehicle that would have been considered all […] April 01, 2022 at 12:35AM

Cadillac ELR | Used vehicle spotlight

We happen to think that the Chevy Volt is a really good used car bargain. The Cadillac ELR that uses a similar platform and shares the same basic bits and pieces that made up General Motors‘ Voltec drivetrain isn’t nearly the deal that its less luxurious sibling is, but it’s still a very intriguing vehicle. […] February 16, 2022 at 06:47AM

GM’s CarBravo online used car market challenges Carvana and Carmax

DETROIT — General Motors said it will launch a new, online used vehicle market called CarBravo that will allow the automaker and its dealers to challenge Carvana, Carmax and others profiting from selling secondhand vehicles. GM’s CarBravo site will aggregate vehicles owned by Chevrolet, Buick and GMC dealers, as well as cars and trucks that […] January 12, 2022 at 06:40AM

2000-2006 Toyota Tundra | Used vehicle spotlight

Lots of Americans love the idea of owning a pickup truck, especially a large model like the Toyota Tundra, but don’t really want to be stuck driving one on an everyday basis. The plus and minus columns are familiar to just about everyone. Unmatched usefulness, stout powertrains and the ability to tow and haul large […] October 14, 2021 at 06:15AM

1995-2005 Chevrolet Astro | Used Vehicle Spotlight

We often use this space to highlight fun or quirky options in the hopes that we can help enthusiasts make choices that will scratch a weird-car itch, but even among the strange, the Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari (we’ll refer to them collectively as the “Astro” for simplicity here) is a bit of an odd […] August 25, 2021 at 06:47AM

GM and Honda just made it harder to sell a leased car to another brand

General Motors and Honda have tightened the screw on lease returns to ensure their franchised dealers have an adequate supply of used cars to sell in a period marked by shortages and skyrocketing prices. Both firms made it significantly more difficult for someone leasing a car to return it to a dealership that represents another […] July 27, 2021 at 06:47AM

Top 10 vehicles that owners keep the longest

Americans are holding on to their vehicles longer today than ever before. But how long is too long? According to automotive research site iSeeCars.com, just 6.1% of owners keep their vehicles for 15 years. Owners of some cars and trucks, though, tend to hold on to their rides that long at a much higher rate. […] July 23, 2021 at 06:17AM

1987-1996 Ford Bronco | Used vehicle spotlight

We hope you’re prepared to see a whole lot of new Ford Broncos — two-doors, four-doors, Sasquatches and Outer Banks — coming and going on the road over the next several months. But this big influx of off-roaders from the Blue Oval isn’t really anything new. In fact, the new-for-2021 Bronco is actually sixth generation […] July 21, 2021 at 07:03AM

There was a Honda Civic named the Honda Integra, and it’s not the Integra you’re considering

So it turns out there was a Honda Integra that was really a Honda Civic. This rather than the Honda Integra we definitely thought about that was very much like our Acura Integra however with Honda identifications sold in various business sectors. We saw the peculiarity while creeping about used car postings (as one is […] June 17, 2021 at 06:09AM

2002-2006 Acura RSX | Used Vehicle Spotlight

The 2002-2006 Acura RSX was the replacement to the Acura Integra in the U.S. Somewhere else all throughout the planet, the RSX really kept its Integra identification. Furthermore, it was marked as a Honda. All things considered, changing the name from Integra to RSX was definitely not an unjustifiable exercise. The RSX added up to […] June 09, 2021 at 06:06AM

1999-2007 Ford Focus | Used Automobile Highlight

The 1999 Ford Focus was a little bit of an odd duck. Whereas it proudly wore an American producer’s badge and was assembled in Wayne, Michigan, for the U.S. market, it was primarily a product of Ford’s European arm, the place it wanted to compete with the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and different established […] June 02, 2021 at 07:04AM
