Owning a car is almost mandatory in the US. If you happen to be a college student, buying a Milwaukee used car is a worthy investment. You'll have a reliable way to travel to and from class, work, and home. But most college students aren't exactly made of money. That's why Ewald Auto is the perfect used car lot near you to visit. We'll help you find the ideal car for your lifestyle AND your budget. Let's explore some FAQ about used cars for college students.
Which car is best for college students?
Since you're likely working with a strict budget, reliability is key. You'll want to choose a car with affordable maintenance and ownership costs. While that souped-up, lifted off-road SUV might look cool in your driveway, the monthly insurance premium might make you cry! Don't fret - Ewald Auto offers plenty of used cars for sale near Milwaukee that won't break the bank. Our used car dealership near you carries everything from compact SUVs to heavy-duty trucks.

How much should a college student spend on a used car?
Before you start browsing our used trucks for sale near Milwaukee, you'll need to decide on your budget. Creating an auto budget is more complex than it might seem. For one thing, you need to include all expenses of owning a Milwaukee used car. This includes fuel, insurance, maintenance, and more. It's easiest to start with the sticker price of the used car for sale near Milwaukee. Estimate the monthly loan payment and insurance premium. Add your estimated monthly fuel cost, and the average annual maintenance costs divided by twelve. If this adds up to more than 20% of your monthly income, you might want to choose a less expensive model at our used car lot near you.
