The Advantages of Used SUVs for Sale

Used SUVs can save you money in several ways. Besides typically being less expensive to purchase than a new-model version of the same car, they often garner lower insurance premiums because they have a lower replacement cost. At our dealership, for example, we offer several used cars under $20K.

For those whose priority is finding a vehicle with enough seating or cargo room for their family, used SUVs with third-row seating can be just as comfortable as new models. For example, a Volvo XC90 from 2020 offers 40.9, 37, and 31.9 inches of legroom in its first, second, and third rows – the same as a 2024 model. While some older Volvo models don't contain the same mild hybrid technology that has electrified the current lineup, they can feature powerful and fuel-efficient engines of their own.

Stop by Principle Volvo Cars San Antonio to talk to our team about your priorities regarding your next vehicle. We can narrow down our selection to the ones that will best serve your needs. For example, those who regularly take road trips to new destinations may appreciate a model with a Head-Up Display. This technology allows drivers to view navigation instructions as a non-obtrusive projection on their windshield so they don't have to look away from the road to view a monitor.

What To Look for in a Pre-Owned SUV

In addition to our pre-owned Volvo selection, we have used cars for sale from other automakers, which we can help you compare. We want to give you options and a sense of freedom when you turn to us.

Check out each SUV's CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ to get a sense of its driving and maintenance history before purchase. You should also be thorough during your test drive, testing both the heating and cooling, experimenting with different drive modes and gears, and utilizing the driver-assistance technology to make sure it's functional and intuitive.

Of course, as a used SUVs dealership, we're most proud of our certified pre-owned Volvo models. These vehicles go through a 170+ point inspection to ensure they live up to the high standards of their automaker. In addition, there is a mileage cap on these cars. They can't have more than 80,000 miles of experience, meaning they have more miles to spend with you. A 12-month/unlimited-mile warranty accompanies these models, which you can choose to upgrade to five years.¹

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of buying a used SUV?

Buying a used SUV allows you to enjoy the qualities SUVs are known for – such as a spacious cabin and expandable cargo space – without paying as much as you would for a new model. A pre-owned SUV is less subject to sharp depreciation or high insurance costs. You may find engines or color choices in our pre-owned inventory that aren't available in the new lineup.

What is a good mileage range for a used SUV?

A used SUV with under 80,000 miles on it is typically considered to have good mileage. Most people drive around 15,000 miles a year, so this mileage often equates to a vehicle less than six years old. In addition, Volvo vehicles under 80,000 miles are more likely to be certified pre-owned models, which come with warranty coverage.

How do I finance a used SUV?

The process for financing a used SUV is similar to the process for financing a new one. To start, fill out our financing application under the "Finance & Offers" tab. You could also contact our team members at Principle Volvo Cars San Antonio directly, who can walk you through the financing form and provide you with a no-obligation quote on your chosen vehicle.
