For 2014, Consumer Reports offered recommendations for what it views as the best used vehicles in. The magazine broke the choices down into four price ranges: under $10,000; $10,000 to $15,000; $15,000 to $20,000; and $20,000 to $25,000.<\/p>\n

The average price of a used car in February was $10,387, up 1.2% from a year earlier, according to the latest Manheim Index.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the average price of a used compact car purchased in February was $8,299, while the average price of a used SUV was $12,478.<\/p>\n
