EARTHY CARS SPOTLIGHT 4.19.2011

The lot at Earthy Cars is still full. We’ve been selling several vehicles every week, while receiving a steady stream of new vehicles arriving on our lot each week. As always, the vast majority of them are fuel-thrifty.

Its spring, but I think it could be a little warmer. What do you think?

--Isa R. Bufano (social media manager of Earthy Cars)

VEHICLES WITH UNDER 50,000 MILES
These vehicles are just 2 ½ years old or younger, and have less than 50,000 on them. Like all the vehicles on out lot, they are well maintained. You would get more value for your money buying one of these vehicles than buying a new car, if you don’t mind a lightly used car vs. a new car.
