8 Luxury Cars Under $20,000
November 6, 2014
Most people would love a luxury vehicle in their garage, but most do not believe it's in their budget. While that may be true about a brand new luxury car, it's not necessarily the case with used ones.U.S. News & World Report's Best Cars Blog came up with the top upscale small and midsize cars you can buy right now for under $20,000. These vehicles are equipped with some of the desirable attributes car buyers look for in a luxury car, such as a comfortable ride, plush interior, safety, and reliability. Cars on the list include the 2011 Acura TSX, 2010 Volvo C30, and 2010 Cadillac CTS.
If you're considering any of these upscale vehicles, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect for the best prices in your local area.
