Car and truck buyers, as we’re sure you’ve noticed, are increasingly being priced out of the new vehicle market as every month seems to set a new record for average transaction prices. The good news, though, is that financial relief can be found if you’re willing to look at a used but"new-to-you" vehicle that’s still in good condition and that should provide several years of trouble-free service.in 2023 by price first, then by vehicle segment.
If you don't want to worry about plugging in and want a good, solid, reliable daily driver, the Honda Civic is our top pick. It's more fun to drive than a similar Toyota Corolla , and the 10th-generation model that debuted for the 2016 model year is a surprisingly comfortable and roomy option. If you can find one,You knew you were going to find a Mazda Miata on this list, right?
If you need a bigger truck, listings for the Ram 1500 would be a good place to start at the $15,000 price point. Ford and GM options enjoy higher resale value on the used market, but the Ram is just as capable and arguably more stylish and comfortable. Our suggestion is to look for a 2013 or newer Ram, and to choose the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and eight-speed automatic combo over the 4.7-liter V8 and six-speed auto.
The Mazda6 may have ended production in 2021 as the compact crossover took over from the midsize sedan as the vehicle design of choice for the majority of Americans, but it'son the used-vehicle market. It had long been the best-driving car in its segment, its four-cylinder engine options were strong enough to have fun but efficient enough not to break the bank.The BMW i3 is nothing if not interesting.
The Subaru Legacy is also a solid choice for buyers looking for a nice car for less than $25,000. You may know that the hot-selling Subaru Outback is based on the Legacy, but you may not know how much more an Outback costs on the used market until you take a look at the online classifieds. In reality, though, the Legacy offers just as much all-weather dependability and spaciousness as the pricier Outback, and because it's lower to the ground, it's more fuel efficient.
