• Tesla Motors.

The Chevrolet company was founded in 1911. Like any other company, Chevrolet has had good and bad times, but this year, we can consider Chevrolet one of the best-selling car brands in Indianapolis. There are more than 40 models on the used car market for every taste and budget. The company produces cars of many body types, including sedans, hatchbacks, pickups, coupes, and SUVs.

The Ford concern also owns the Lincoln and Mercury brands. A distinctive feature of this brand is the aggressive appearance of its models. According to the current development strategy, the company is focused on practical and economical compact cars production.

The sports models of this brand are especially popular. Almost all models are equipped with a powerful engine. The Ford Mustang is considered a classic of the automotive industry. Among the model range, you can also find sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks . In addition, there are many hybrid modifications known for their fuel economy.

Expensive luxury cars have been produced under the Cadillac brand for more than a hundred years. These cars have outstanding design, so it is difficult to confuse them with others. The main competitors of the brand in the world market are the so-called German three: Mercedes, Audi, and BMW.

Cadillac laid the foundations for mass car production and demonstrated the complete interchangeability of spare parts. The concern also developed three engines, including the V8, that set the standard for the American car industry. Over the years, Cadillac has remained the American symbol of success. There are 15 Cadillac models available on the market. Come to Indy Auto Man and take one of them for a test drive.

Chrysler is a brand that, along with Ford, embodies the history of the American automotive industry. Most of these cars are popular with Indianapolis customers for their stylish look, convenience, high technology, and spaciousness.

The Chrysler company was founded in 1925. Throughout its history, the models of this brand have gone through many updates. Over the past ten years, Chrysler car sales have grown exponentially. This indicator is considered one of the best of this century. The company also sells vehicles under such brands as Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The name of the Jeep company, which later became a household name, came from the expression General Purpose. These Cars are in demand all over the world because they are well-controlled not only on a highway but also on rough terrain.

The Tesla company, founded in 2004, gained popularity thanks to the production of electric vehicles. Such cars are environmentally friendly and operate with rechargeable batteries. The company is rapidly gaining popularity as the future belongs to electric vehicles. Tesla has great potential. In the future, Tesla car sales can overtake such giants as Ford, Chrysler, and Chevrolet.

Having a Tesla, you save money on gas, but you will have to pay more for this car than for competitors of the same class. Unlike the rest of the electric vehicles, Tesla shows a refreshed design and the latest equipment. Also, the Tesla cars run very quietly, which is a decisive factor for many drivers.

When choosing a car, the brand name is important, but most customers also consider the cost of the car and further expenses for fuel and spare parts. In this regard, in addition to the best-selling car brands, the following manufacturers are also popular in Indianapolis:

• Toyota. Reliability and low maintenance costs are something that Toyota owners can boast. Toyota can be a good choice, but the main drawback – it is overpriced. All other things being equal (equipment, characteristics, year of manufacture, etc.), you will undoubtedly pay more for a Toyota than for a Ford.
• Honda. The reliability of cars of this brand is even slightly higher than that of Toyota, but the cost of maintenance is more expensive. This is due to the more complex suspension design and other elements, resulting in a higher cost of work and spare parts.
• Hyundai, Kia. These brands are considered a budget option. Such cars have an inexpensive interior, but they perform their main functions in full. Benefits include low-cost maintenance. It is recommended to buy a used Hyundai or Kia with low mileage and not older than 5-7 years.

If you can’t make a choice of the car brand or need professional advice about the model, come to Indy Auto Man, Indianapolis.
