All-wheel drive can be a big help in adverse conditions such as heavy snow, and SUVs are some of the most versatile vehicles on the road. It only makes sense to opt for an SUV with all-wheel drive, but if you’re looking to save money you might want to opt for a used AWD SUV, as it’s a fantastic way to get behind the wheel of a versatile, capable vehicle for a price that won’t break the bank.

Do I Need All-Wheel Drive?

Whether you need all-wheel drive will depend on where you live and the conditions in which you drive. If you live somewhere that doesn’t often face inclement whether and you tend to stick to well-paved roads, it might not be necessary—but here in Ocean, NJ, we often face harsh winter conditions, and used AWD SUVs can make our trips a bit safer. Some of the benefits of AWD include:

• Improved Traction: AWD enables every wheel of the vehicle to spin rather than just the front or rear wheels, which can help your tires gain purchase on slick or slippery surfaces, or if two wheels are stuck.
• Increased Resale Value: When you decide to move on from your used AWD SUVs, you’ll likely get more when you trade it in than you would from a 2WD model. You don’t necessarily need a bright red MDX to get the most for your trade-in!
• Confidence: The improved traction can give you peace of mind in adverse conditions. And why wouldn’t it? With an all-wheel-drive system on your side, you’re less likely to get stuck.

As you can see above, we’ve got plenty of pre-owned SUVs with AWD available, and we encourage you to visit our dealership and try some of them out, including the MDX and RDX. You’ll find us at 909 Route 35 in Ocean, NJ, and we hope to see you soon!
