Hello folks, it's Dr. Auto. I thought I would share some fun used car facts with you. If you have any strange or delightful facts of your own, feel free to share! The Dr. always loves to recieve more knowledge. Enjoy these facts:
1. Three out of four automotive transactions in the U.S. involve previously owned vehicles.
2. The average vehicle will likely have three owners in its lifetime.
3. The most frequently searched price range for a used vehicle is under $5,000.
4. There are more used Silverado pickup trucks for sale than any other model (nearly 120,000 throughout the U.S.)
5. Texas has more used vehicles than any other state (more than 220,000); Houston alone has more than 32,000 on the market at any given time.
6. Silver is the most available color in the used vehicle market -- more than 447,000 vehicles, followed by black (429,000), white (409,000), and red (321,000). Blue (309,000) and gray (277,000) are also aplenty. The color you're least likely to find? Pink, with just 249 used vehicles listed.
7. Age does appear to matter, at least when it comes to a used vehicle. Nearly half those listed at any one time (about 1.5 million) are model years 2007-2008.
8. Automatic transmissions outnumber manual 10 to 1 in the market for used vehicles.
9. Six cylinder vehicles are the most popular on the used car market, accounting for nearly a third of the total available (and roughly the combined total of both four cylinder and eight cylinder powered vehicles).
10. The automobile is the most recycled consumer product in the world today.
As always, when considering purchasing a "new" used car, make sure the vehicle is in sound mechanical condition. If the dealer or seller doesn't have recent diagnostics, you always can ask to have the car inspected by a third party.

You've got sweet facts right there alright! Especially that part about a car receiving up to three owners before it is ultimately dispatched in a car graveyard. Is that because of the wear and tear of constant use?
Six cylinder V6 cars are very popular, especially for buyers who are on the lookout for high performance SUVs. Aside from their compact built, V6 vehicles have the extra passing power and acceleration when you need to clear an intersection in a hurry.
"Age does appear to matter, at least when it comes to a used cars" This is in reverse for real thing :D
