An Inexpensive Car For Some

Cheap Cars Video

Automobiles are status symbols.  Everyone has heard of the celebrities with massive collections of expensive cars, or custom built garages to accommodate their cars in the heart of an expensive city like New York.  A better option could be an inexpensive car for some.  Poor quality doesn't necessarily follow cheap price.  Less costly can still be exciting to drive.

Buy a used car if you want to save some cash.  There a much less expensive top model cars, at least when compared to the new versions.  A new term has emerged over the last decade, pre-owned – to denote used cars that are of high quality.  These pre-owned vehicles have even managed to pull some long time new car buyers into the used car market.  Consider top model cars.  Even after 10 years a well built Lexus can look and drive like new.  Many people always buy late model used cars instead of new ones.Remember the chauffeur in “Driving Miss Daisy”?  He always bought Miss Daisy's second hand, luxury cars.

There are also some nice, low cost new cars.  The Hyundai Elantra is a quality car under $12,000.  Then there's the Civic, from Honda, weighing in at about $15,000.  That's a good car that gets great mileage and lasts forever.  Luxury cars that need premium fuel and parts are generally more expensive to maintain too.

Another area to look is cheaper, if not really cheap, luxury cars.  Audi makes luxury cars that compete with Mercedes and Lexus, but generally at the lower end of the price spread for like models.  Audi boasts the top engineered cars in the world, bar none.  The Audi TT can be just as much fun as a Porsche, but much less expensive.

Some people aren't happy unless they scrape the bottom of the barrel cheap.  They turn to the clunker, the hooptie, the ancient model car that was probably old when their parents first bought a car.  Teens often buy this style of car.  As long as it's safe to drive, it gets them from A to B.  What you see is what you get, even with cheap cars.  A car that constantly breaks down is no bargain at any price.
