The Best Inexpensive Cars

original ranker Ranker Community  91,141 views 43 items 26 followers
A list of the best inexpensive cars you'd actually love to own. Sure, it's simple to go out and find a bottom-end, new car for $12k, but more often than not, that's an automobile bought out of necessity instead of desire. These are cars you'd actually be proud to have as your daily driver. Since "inexpensive", "cheap", and "affordable" are all relative terms, we're going to set the limit a little high at $35k so the list can include the cheapest entry models of most major brands. All types of vehicles are included: sports, trucks, luxury, sedan, hybrid, new, and old. You name it. If it costs less than 35k, and you'd love to own it, then it belongs on this list. Check out this list of the cheapest cars to insure for more details.

      Inexpensive Lexus, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, infinity, and cheap insurance on rwd muscle cars. If this is considered inexpensive no wonder why people in America and around the world are broke. You wouldn't spend $3,000 on a couch or bed but spend $35k for a four cylinder Honda accord with an Acura logo, 40k for a VW Golf with the Audi logo no problem. Sure I'll buy a car that has the same engine as a civic for $11k more.

      Inexpensive shouldn't be mentioned with Lexus, Audi, Mercedes, our listed with muscle cars that has an insurance premium that costs more than most new Honda lease payments.

      Where's the trans am? May be discontinued, but still an amazing car that doesn't break the bank.
