If you’re thinking about buying a new car this year, don’t make the mistake of shelling out a significant amount of money for a vehicle that you could acquire for a lot less. Your best bet, especially if you’re looking for a winter vehicle, is to check out used car dealerships and inquire about the used car sales on the lot.
Though there are plenty of used vehicles on the market with a wide range of cost, most buyers don’t have to spend much more than a few grand to get a reliable automobile. In fact, the most frequently searched vehicle price range is around $5,000 or less.
Here are some of the most affordable used cars on the market today:
- Chevy S10 Truck — Though S10s might seem like beater trucks, these vehicles can actually look quite nice as long as you take care of them. These trucks are capable of hauling all kinds of items and can be driven for years — especially in the winter. You can find these S10s at used car dealerships for under $3,000.
- Saab 9-3 Wagon — A 2007 Saab 9-3 Wagon comes equipped with a turbocharged engine, agile handling, and looks great. Though 2007 was more than a decade ago, this is still an extremely reliable vehicle. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety selected the 2007 Saab 9-3 Wagon as a Top Safety Pick when it was new. The average price for this vehicle is $4,515.
- Honda Accord — There are plenty of Accords out on the U.S. roadways and there are two main reasons for that: they are reliable and they are affordable. You can find quality Honda Accords from the 1990s and even 2000s for around $3,000 to $5,000. Similar to the Honda Civic, which is another popular vehicle, Accords are just as affordable but are even more comfortable, with nicer features, and aren’t as likely to have been modified than pre owned Civics.
