6 Best Cars for Less Than $20,000
Are you looking to buy a brand new car but don't want to spend a ton of money? The average new car costs around $33,000, but not everyone has that type of budget.
To help you get started in your search, AutoBlog recently published a list of the 6 best new cars under $20,000. Although the MSRP on a couple of these starts over $20,000, the average negotiated prices can be had for less than $20,000.
Vehicles on the list include the 2018 Honda Fit and 2018 Kia Soul.
If you're currently in the market for a new (but inexpensive vehicle), I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggleand Edmunds Price Promise to see the best prices in your local area.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar, Edmunds, and 1-800 Car Show are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.California Residents - Important:
There is a new online car buying service called Roadster, available only to California residents, which I highly recommend you try - especially if you hate the stress of haggling with a car salesman. They provide an expert concierge who negotiates the price of the car and delivers it to your home with zero hassle - you never have to interact with a dealership. Here is my in-depth review of Roadster and why I recommend it.- Gregg Fidan
