Short answer: yes. SUVs generally cost more than sedans upfront.
But "more expensive" depends a lot on what you're comparing, and buying used changes the math significantly.
Here's the honest breakdown:
SUVs run higher on sticker price, insurance, and fuel. For a lot of buyers, those are real numbers that matter.
But SUVs also offer things sedans can't match: more space for passengers and cargo, a higher driving position, AWD traction for Michigan winters, and real towing capacity if you need it.
For West Michigan families hauling kids, gear, and a boat every summer, the trade-off is worth it. For someone commuting solo with a tight budget, a solid used sedan is the smarter call.
There's no wrong answer. There's just the one that fits your actual life.
We carry both. Right now we have 18 SUVs and 5 sedans in stock, all priced fairly with the full Carfax available online before you visit.
