This Year's Best Bargain Vehicle
July 24, 2014
Cars.com recently released a list of what they consider the most affordable cars for 2014. They took the price of the vehicle, factored in the cost of popular features -- automatic transmission, power windows and locks, USB, Bluetooth and tilt steering wheel -- and then also added in five years of gas costs. Each vehicle on the list has an overall cost of less than $28,000.
Topping the list as the most affordable vehicle available today is the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage DE, with a final cost of $22,115 after everything is factored in. Following in second place is the 2014 Scion iQ at $23,920, and third 2014 Chevrolet Spark 1LT at $24,070.
If you're considering any of these affordable vehicles, make sure to visit TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect for even greater savings.
