EARTHY CARS SPOTLIGHT: Low Mileage Vehicles

A car with low mileage on it is almost as good as a brand new one. Yet, they are much less expensive than brand new ones.

You may want to consider than before purchasing a new vehicle. It’s always nice to save money.

We have several cars on our lot that have less than 50,000 miles put on them.

If you live in a city, having a small car is nice due to limited space and high traffic. They're easier to park and maneuver through traffic. The Scion xA is one of the smallest cars on the market.

A Jeep is a nice vehicle for summer activities. The top comes down & they maneuver smoothly through rough terrain. Ideal for those making trips the beach, or the woods.

Plug-in vehicles are the next step forward moving towards less fuel reliant vehicles. They run partially on a rechargeable battery that can be charged at a station. They cost a bit extra, but they cost less to maintain.

EARTHY CARS SPOTLIGHT: Subcompact Cars (Pre-Spring 2015)

It’s almost spring. That (might) mean you’ll be going out in town more. While it’s fun going out in town, it could mean dealing with parking and a higher gas bill.

But if you have a subcompact car, that’s not a problem.

If you have a large car you’re looking to trade in, or looking for another car, or you’re first car – consider a subcompact car if you’re like to maneuver around easier or save money on gas.

EARTHY CARS SPOTLIGHT: AWD + 4WD Vehicles

There is still seven more weeks of winter in Vermont. That’s a good or bad thing to you, depending on your personal preference and lifestyle.

Having an all-wheel drive vehicle or four wheel drive vehicle during the winter is always nice, as they drive better on snowy roads.

We’ve got plenty. Consider trading your two wheel drive for a four wheel drive. Or if you’re looking for another car / a car, you may want / need a four wheel drive over a two wheel.
