Best Used Cars for Moms on Mother's Day

Written by Shabana Motors | Fri, Apr 29, 2022 @ 09:14 PM

Mother’s Day is coming up and if you are considering buying a car as a gift, this article will guide you on the best options out there. Moms juggle between home, after-school activities, work, doctor’s appointments, groceries, and so on. Therefore, they need a reliable and spacious car to manage all the driving around to fulfill the crazy schedules. So, if you are searching for a car, a used car may be a more affordable option than a new car. To help you find the right used vehicle, we listed our top picks of best-used cars for moms on Mother’s Day.

What to Look for in a Used Car for Mom

Before you sign the deal for mom's new car, there are a few things to look for when buying a used car. Consider the following when you visit a used-car dealership:

  • Get the history of the car for any previous reported accidents or incidents with the car. You can find the history of a vehicle online at the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) with just the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
  • Test-drive the car and analyze its performance.
  • Get the car inspected and adequately checked by professionals before finalizing the deal.
  • Pay close attention to the details and features included with the car. Consider any extras that will make mom’s ride safer, like a multi-angle rearview camera and blind-spot information system to prevent accidents.
  • Come to the dealer with a budget so you don’t walk out with a car you cannot afford.
  • Make sure the auto dealership includes an extended warranty on the vehicle you purchase. An extended warranty provides you with peace of mind and a cost-effective way to make sure your vehicle is always protected. A reputable dealer will offer a 2-year, 24,000-mile extended warranty, which is not too far behind the warranty a new-car manufacturer may offer.

Our Top Picks for Best Used Cars for Moms

Our top picks include SUVs, sedans, and luxury vehicles, with the goal to cater to all our Houston neighbors. At Shabana Motors our objective is for everyone to get their life on drive regardless of income level or credit history. Having no credit or bad credit is not a problem for us. All our customers are approved.

Following is our selection of the top 6 best-used cars for moms:

1.   Nissan Rogue

One of the best crossover vehicles of all is the Nissan Rogue, which also happens to be our best-selling used compact SUV. The Nissan Rogue SUV delivers 27/35 mileage and has a spacious, 36.5 cubic feet cargo hold, and a 181hp engine. Nissan Rogue models provide space, comfort, and efficiency on the tank which are much-needed features to drive around Houston.  

2.   Mazda CX-5

Mazda CX is another excellent choice if you are looking for a used SUV. It is a two-row SUV that hosts five comfortable and supportive seats. The Mazda CX-5 is available with a touch-screen infotainment system that remains visible even in direct sunlight. Plus, it has top-notch safety scores, beating most competitors in its class. This Compact SUV also features a latch connector for child car seats available all across the back row. The CX-5 has had consistent ratings over the years and has proven itself an excellent choice for families.

3.   Toyota Camry

When it comes to dependability, do they come any better than a Toyota? The Camry is the flagship executive sedan in the Toyota range and offers premium looks, a comfortable and spacious passenger cabin, a lively 203-hp V6 engine, and great fuel economy at around 39-mpg.

Some look at a Toyota Camry as an everyday great commuter car, but this car is a “performance machine.” This V6-powered sedan handles beautifully on the road and is great fun to drive for a car this size. It’s also got a stellar safety record, making it ideal for families.

4.   Chevy Impala

If you prefer an American car, the Chevy Impala is a great option. The Impala is powered by a very strong but also economical V6 engine offering up to 300-hp and getting you from 0 to 60 in just 6.4 seconds. It’ll get 28-mpg on the highway, which is very respectable for a car of this size and power. Users have also offered many compliments about the MyLink infotainment system it includes.

 

5.   GM Cadillac

Cadillac is synonymous of all-American luxury, powerful engines, imposing presence, and more. Cadillacs are equipped with soft and sumptuous seats, advanced digital and safety features, and that signature strength you find in its frame and build. For the real American drive, a Cadillac is a great choice, and a used Cadillac is amazing value for money.

 

6.   Mercedes Benz C-Class and S-Class Sedans

Benz models are a representation of class and luxury. When purchasing a pre-owned model, Benz cars suddenly move into your affordable zone, too. The C-Sedan is considered a compact car, which is a great option for your significant other, or the empty-nester. This model is known as the most cost-effective in the luxury scheme of Mercedes Benz with powerful engine options and decent gas mileage.

The S-class model is a full-size vehicle and sits at the pinnacle of luxury sedans. This model offers more legroom with large cargo space when compared to the C-class, and more muscle for an exceptionally smooth ride.
