Buying a used car gets you more for your money. But you can maximize each dollar even further when you buy a used car that is known for its value. Below we’ve rounded up some of the top used vehicles that are the best cars for the money, whether it’s a truck or a compact vehicle.
1. 2017 Kia Optima
You don’t have to break the bank with a used car. You can find the Kia Optima for under $20,000, but you can still enjoy an attractive vehicle with great gas mileage. Even better, the roomy backseat can fully fit three adults comfortably.
2. 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
If you’re looking for something a little bigger, why not consider a truck? One of the best picks for a used truck is the Chevy Silverado 1500. Many Chevy Silverado pickups were once used for fleet service, so there are lots of parts on the market. If you need to get anything repaired, it won’t cost you too much.
3. 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV
We have another Chevy on our list, but this time, it’s electric. Support the environment and save on gas by ditching vehicles that require you to fill them up at the pump. The Chevy Bolt EV is affordable and cute, and you’ll be able to drive a while since it goes almost 250 miles on a full charge. It’s also an IIHS Top Safety Pick!
4. 2015 Audi Q5
Luxury is still luxury, even in a used vehicle. The Audi Q5 is one of the most elegant SUVs on the market and comes complete with high-tech options and smooth driving dynamics. The 2015 Q5 features numerous upgrade options and seamless handling.
5. 2018 Jeep Wrangler
Jeeps Wranglers aren’t the least expensive cars on the market, but they have a reputation for being strong and powerful. When you buy a used Jeep, you can benefit from the previous owner’s modifications and upgrades without having to pay for them.
Jeep Wranglers also hold a high resale value, so you can get your money back in a few years’ time when you decide to sell it. And if you want a Wrangler to go on adventures, buying one used will take the pressure off from having to be extra careful with a new vehicle. Keep in mind that Wranglers are built to be tough. Over the years, you’ll save money from the maintenance and repairs of other vehicles, so long as you take care of it.
6. 2011 Honda Civic
Last but not least, we have to end this list with the 2011 Honda Civic. You can’t go wrong with this reliable car. With high fuel economy, an athletic ride, and great ratings, you can rest assured that the 2011 Honda Civic will be worth the money.
