Report: These are American senior citizens’ favorite cars (Autoblog)
Filed under: Car Buying, Etc., Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Toyota
The stereotype of elderly drivers preferring Lincolns and Buicks has to come
from somewhere. TrueCar.com took a look at the past two years of car sales to
buyers at least 65 years old and found a couple common threads. The first
thing these buyers are looking for is familiarity. The nameplates and vehicle
types that were popular when these buyers were younger rank high with senior
buyers, kind of the same way people’s musical preferences get frozen in time.
Value is also a big attractor for the senior dollar, a consideration for
buyers nearing the end of their careers or already on fixed incomes. The brand
names on the list may not surprise anyone, though the Cadillac and Buick
brands high scores show that those divisions’ push for a younger average buyer
age hasn’t put off longstanding customers. In fact, there are some models that
owe their continued existence to this older demographic.
So which cars are they? Hit the gallery and find out.
