Best Deals on Cars Under $20,000
June 6, 2014
If you're in the market for a new car, but you need one on a tight budget, look no further than Consumer Report's recent list of the eight best new cars that you can buy right now for under $20,000.
On the list are the likes of the 2014 Ford Mustang Coupe V6, 2014 Fiat 500 Pop, 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer SportBack ES, and 2014 Chevy Cruze 1LT Manual. All of the picks on this list offer very good fuel economy.
Important to note that some of those on the list come standard with manual transmission, so an automatic may cost you a little extra. And as always, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect for the biggest savings on any of these vehicles.
