An Inexpensive Car Can Make a Better Option

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.  But for some people an inexpensive car is the way to go.  It's doesn't have to be a clunker just because it doesn't cost a lot.  Less expensive can still be functional, and even fun.

A used car purchase can save a lot of money.  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.  Some cars like the Mercedes are so well built they are still new feeling after a decade.  A lot of people buy slightly used instead of new car after car.This was immortalized in Driving Miss Daisy when the driver bought Miss Daisy's old cars.

Some cheap new cars are quite nice, too.  Hyundai makes some models that are decent for less than $12K.  A well engineered car like the Honda Civic is only around $15K.  That car lasts a long time, and gets great gas mileage.  Cheaper cars are also generally less costly to maintain, and they don't require premium gasoline.

There are even relatively less expensive 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.  These are the best engineered in the world, nobody beats them.  A less expensive luxury sports car is the Audi TT.

Some people mean really cheap when they say cheap.  They turn to the clunker, the hooptie, the ancient model car that was probably old when their parents first bought a car.  Teenagers often purchase such a car as their first vehiclePeople often purchase such a car as a first vehicle for a teen.  It's a set of wheels, and it gives them practice for a life time of practical mechanical knowledge.  Be careful because an cheap cars can be busts.  It may not seem like such a deal when it won't start on a cold winter morning.
