What Kind of Used Car Should I Buy in Opelousas, LA?

Looking to buy a vehicle that won’t cost you an arm and a leg? Check out our used vehicle selection at Giles Nissan Opelousas — we have a car for every budget! With so many body styles ranging from sedans to pickup trucks in the market, it can be overwhelming to figure out what kind of vehicle will best suit your lifestyle. If you need guidance on which make and model you should consider, keep reading for some questions to steer you in the right direction.

What do you need?

Let’s go back to the basics: What do your needs look like? The type of car you end up with will depend on your lifestyle and size of your family. If you’re a party of one and just need a reliable ride for commuting or visiting friends on the weekend, a smaller sedan will fit the bill. If you have a blended family of children and pets, you might want to consider a spacious SUV or minivan instead. Do you borrow your neighbor’s pickup truck to haul heavy loads on a regular basis? Maybe it’s time to upgrade to one!

What do you want?

What you want is just as important as what you need — we want you to be satisfied with your purchase when you drive off the lot! Create a list of key features you’re looking for in your next vehicle, and use that as a guide to help you determine what type of used vehicle you should purchase. For instance, if you’re eager for a thrilling ride, you might want a model fit for the racetrack — such as a sports car designed for high performance. If you’re looking for spacious legroom, extra cup holders and a wide sunroof, an SUV might be a better choice. Don’t forget that some features like upgraded audio systems are available in a myriad of body styles, so whether you pick a sedan, sports car, SUV or truck, you can get a variety of innovative features as well.

What is your budget?

Another deciding factor in the type of car you purchase is your budget! A good estimate of how much you can comfortably afford will help you narrow down your options. However, shopping on a budget doesn’t have to disappoint — in fact, we have a wide selection of used models under $15K available at Giles Nissan Opelousas.
