Shoppers interested in a new car might be disappointed to discover that many new models are beyond their budget, especially as you add options and extras for comfort, safety and convenience. A used car seems like the next best option; however, consumers could be turned off by potentially high maintenance and repair costs associated with used vehicles.

To narrow down the list of used cars with many of the perks of a new model, Autotrader’s editors named the 10 Must-Shop Certified Pre-Owned Cars and 10 Must-Shop Certified Pre-Owned Luxury Cars for 2018 that they consider to be “good as new.”

The vehicles on the non-luxury list have an overall NHTSA safety rating of four stars or more (out of a possible five stars).

“This list of ‘good as new’ models offer the latest design, meaning your friends and neighbors will think you bought a brand-new model, even though you saved money on a certified pre-owned car,” said Brian Moody, executive editor for Autotrader. “Aside from being affordable, each car on the list includes a desirable, manufacturer-backed warranty, which means these selections come without many of the traditional costs (or fears) associated with a typical used car.”
