Used Cars for Sale Near Me in Des Moines, IA - Autotrader

A <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/used-car-buying-guide" target="_blank">used car</a> is often cheaper than purchasing a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/new-cars" target="_blank">new car</a> since most new cars lose up to 35% of their value after three years. Buying a used car from a dealer is a safer option than purchasing from a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-a-used-car-private-seller-or-dealer-221311" target="_blank">private owner</a> as it may come with an <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/do-you-need-an-extended-warranty-199185" target="_blank">extended warranty</a>. If you don’t purchase an extended warranty, make sure you research the car’s <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-used-car-can-10-year-old-used-car-still-be-reliable-245884" target="_blank">reliability</a> and ownership costs. 

When buying a used car, you may want to get a pre-purchase inspection and a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/autotrader-listings-vs-carfax-listings" target="_blank">vehicle history report</a>. You may want to consider buying a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/certified-cars" target="_blank">CPO car</a>, or “Certified Pre-Owned” that is fully inspected and backed by a manufacturer’s warranty. Most car shoppers end up with a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/car-payment-guide" target="_blank">monthly car payment</a> by <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/car-finance" target="_blank">financing the car</a> with a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-a-car-what-term-should-your-loan-be-222114" target="_blank">loan</a> from a bank or credit union, although some buyers opt for an "<a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-a-car-should-you-pay-with-cash-if-you-can-227481" target="_blank">all cash</a>" option. Either way, make sure you can <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-car-how-much-car-can-you-afford-242289" target="_blank">afford the car you buy</a>.

Whether you are looking for a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/cars-under-6000" target="_blank">cheap car for sale</a>, a used car for sale under<a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/cars-under-5000" target="_blank"> $5,000</a>, a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/truck/cars-under-10000" target="_blank">used truck under $10,000</a>, a SUV or minivan with <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/3rd-row-seats" target="_blank">3rd row seating</a>, a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/hybrid" target="_blank">hybrid</a>, a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/plug-in-hybrid" target="_blank">plug-in hybrid</a> (PHEV), an <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/electric" target="_blank">electric car</a>, a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/suv-crossover" target="_blank">SUV</a>, a vehicle with a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/6-cylinder" target="_blank">V6</a> or <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/8-cylinder" target="_blank">V8</a>, a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/awd-4wd" target="_blank"> AWD/4WD vehicle</a>, a car with <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/apple-carplay" target="_blank">Apple CarPlay</a> or <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/android-auto" target="_blank">Android Auto</a>, or a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/truck" target="_blank">truck</a>, at Autotrader we make the car buying process easy and stress-free. 

If you’re wondering how to buy a used car, we’ve outlined the key steps below. 
<ol>
<li>Get the trade-in value for your current car to determine what kind of budget you'll have for a used vehicle.</li>
<li>Get pre-approved for <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/car-finance" target="_blank">financing</a> (if applicable). How much you can <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/car-payment-guide" target="_blank">afford</a> and how much of a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/whats-right-down-payment-car-loan-or-lease-212702" target="_blank">down payment</a> you can apply, will impact your <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/monthly-payments-explained" target="_blank">monthly car payment</a>.</li>
<li>Once approved, start <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping" target="_blank">shopping for a used car</a> near you. </li>
<li>Consider a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/what-certified-car-196340" target="_blank">certified pre-owned car</a> that has been inspected and serviced to meet strict standards set by the automaker. You may even consider leasing vs. buying a car.</li>
<li>Look at the vehicle history report (VHR), which will provide important information such as any accidents or previous owners, as well as maintenance and service records. A good VHR can help ensure that you’re buying a reliable car.</li>
<li>Once you’ve decided on a car, reach out to the seller and <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-used-car-what-questions-should-you-ask-private-seller-238817" target="_blank">ask key questions about the car</a>.</li>
<li>A test drive is one of the most important steps in buying a used car, as it will give you a better idea of its condition and performance so that you can make an informed decision.</li>
<li>A <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-a-used-car-is-a-mechanical-inspection-necessary" target="_blank">pre-purchase inspection</a> is always recommended when buying a used car as this will provide further assurance of its condition before you buy.</li>
<li>Once everything checks out, it’s time to <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/car-negotiations-guide" target="_blank">negotiate the best deal</a>. Make sure you read and understand all documents before signing them, as this will protect <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-car-who-responsible-defect-you-find-after-you-buy-241962" target="_blank">your rights</a> as the buyer.</li>
