Q: a brand new car under 15000?
what kind of car can i get for under 15000 that is brand new? either 2007, 2008, or 2009. i already looked into the yaris, civic, fit, and lancer. are there any other ones? something that is good and will not give problems.
A: Try the new Hyundai Elantra. It was recently chosen by consumer reports as the small car of the year. All new hyundais come with a 100,000 powertrain warranty over 10 years, and a 5 year, 60K bumper-to-bumper warranty. I also like the mazda 3, or the ford focus.

(its someone elses question, but didnt have the helpful answers.)
A: You named some pretty solid options above, others include:
Nissan Versa- it is available in a 5 door hatchback or a 4 door sedan.
It is a good value. Good crash test ratings, however ESC (electronic stability control) is not available. This is a very important safety feature that can help you avoid accidents.
Scion xD- it comes as a 5 door hatchback, and has a lot of standard features as well as some pretty neat after market features, and gets excellent fuel economy. It also has good crash test ratings, and has optional ESC.
——————————–
The Kia Rio/Hyundai Accent also fit your budget, however I would not personally suggest them due to poor safety ratings. The Kia Rio comes in a 5 door hatchback and a sedan version. Accent comes as sedan only.
Chevy Aveo is under $15k, but it has received poor reviews in popular magazines like Consumer reports. It is available in 5 door hatchback
and sedan form.
If you/ your friend wants to take a totally different route- you/they may also consider Smart for Two. It fits the budget and it’s nifty looks will certainly attract a lot of attention, but it’s not very practical if you have a family.
Scion xD, Versa, Civic, and Lancer are all very safe, practical cars that fit your budget and will provide you years of worry free driving!
You will most likely be able to purchase a 2009 model of ANY vehicle mentioned above for under $15k, since the 2010’s are on the lots and dealers will want to get rid of their 09’s.
Best of luck!
Q: Best under-$15000 car for a college student?
I’m searching for a safe, reliable car that my son would like.
A: ANY Toyota should be good! (Or Honda) You may have to get one that is a year or two old, but they are extremely reliable and safe!
Q: what would be a good first car thats under $15000?
what would be a good car for me to get that is usually around 15000 or less used with not a lot of miles…im looking for either a coupe or sedan i hate wagons and dont really care for rag top convertibles the hard tops i dont mind and i also dont want an suv trucks are a maybe
A: $15,000 will buy you a whole lot of car.
The truth of the matter is that you can find a good, recent year, low mileage, high quality example of virtually any type of vehicle for that price, so you’re better-off choosing deciding upon the type of vehicle you want to buy before then pursuing a particular model because your menu is wide-open.
One thing you may want to consider is buying a new car; and there are several reasons why you should. First of all, a new car comes with a full bumper-to-bumper new car warranty. While some used vehicles include certain limited warranties, a new car will guarantee you no additional expenses beyond fuel, tires, and basic maintenance for a minimum of 3 years or 36,000 and up to 7 years and 100,000 miles if you choose to add an extended warranty.
A second important reason is the result of an unusual phenomenon resulting from the world’s upside down economy. Because people are hanging on to their cars longer rather than buying new ones and many people are turning to used cars as a way to save money, used cars have never been in shorter supply or greater demand than they are today. Add-in “cash for clunkers” literally destroying about 1/2 million more and the result is that they also cost more than they ever have, meaning they’re not the same kind of bargain they used to be.
http://www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/2009/11/economy_101_the_post-clunker_r.html
At the same time, manufacturers have never been more desperate to win new car buyers and dealers have never been more eager not negotiate. A dealer doesn’t have to worry about having to sell a used car to make room for next year’s model like he does with every new car. The result is that rebates have never been more favorable and dealers have never been more willing to negotiate, so new cars have never delivered more for your money (especially if you can find a 2009 model still on lots or a “dealer demo” that’s never been titled and is still considered new, but a manager may have used as his own “company car”. These can often be had for a relative steal.
So, there’s a bit of a “Perfect Storm” in terms of new cars being the best values they’ve ever been at the same time used cars have never been as unattractive. The result is… hang on to your hat… that some NEW versions of a vehicle are cheaper to buy than a used one. And before you think I’m just self-medicating again, it’s not me, but the good folks at Edmunds.com who’ve done the research to prove it. Have a look for yourself at:
http://blogs.edmunds.com/greencaradvisor/2009/03/some-new-cars-cheaper-than-used-now-hybrids-included-edmunds-study-finds.html
The third reason is also a result of the financial crisis. If you’ll notice, it’s barely 2010 and some 2011 vehicles are about to roll onto dealer lots. September used to be when next years’ models would appear, but that’s no longer true. Once the bottom fell out of the car market and GM and Chrysler were bailed out, they pretty-much faced a “make better cars or die” situation. And because every other company’s financial results were blown out of the water anyway, this was the year they didn’t have to worry about making their quarterly earnings numbers. Their only mission was to get their best products into showrooms NOW; and every vehicle from 2009 forward, even among most competitors who have had to compete, have been notably more well-equipped with better features, higher quality, and more powerful and economical power trains.
Here’s the final, and perhaps the very best, reason to consider a new car, or at least something to think about even if you buy a used one. You can certainly find new AND used vehicles within your $15,000 price range. However, if you aim just a little bit higher you can get a LOT more car for your money as you now enter the mid-size new car segment at about $17,000, including cars that might continue to suit your needs into your twenties. Even if you buy a used vehicle, there’s a certain wisdom in the fact that at a certain point, money you save up-front buying a cheaper car can wind up just costing you more in repairs later.
Either way, even if you don’t spend your entire budget, you should consider financing a few thousand dollars of your purchase, even if you have to pay interest. Doing so can help you establish strong credit early in your life; and if you can do so responsibly, it can be one of the single-most important things you can ever do for yourself. Just think about THIS… People with the best credit tend to pay the least for things because they pay the lowest interest rates. This means being able to take advantage of all the great 0% financing car offers which, even if you just stick the money in the bank instead at 2%, means you will be making free money. On the other hand, those with the worst credit can wind-up paying 20% interest for a car loan, and that’s if they can find financing in the first place. The difference over the life of a new car can double the price, not to mention costing even-more by forcing people to choose used vehicles without warranties that are more expensive to repair.
For the average consumer, and I’m absolutely NOT exaggerating, the difference between good and bad credit upon your lifestyle will have more of an impact than most college educations. I am DROP DEAD serious. If you can use this as an opportunity to build you credit, even if you don’t need to borrow the money, you absolutely should. And if it means giving your parents the money to hold and make your payments for you, DO IT. You will receive few pieces of better or more important advice during the rest of your entire life.
So, let’s put this theory into practical application with an actual car. This spring, Ford is bringing the 2011 Fiesta to North America. The Fiesta is a new car here, but it’s been Ford’s best selling car in Europe for almost a decade and one of Europe’s favorites. It’s simply a terrific car. Period. It’s attractive, extremely well-made, kick in the pants fun to drive, and terrific on fuel. And get this… the starting price (and this is the STICKER price, mind you) is $13,320. They go all the way up to $20,000 if you want bigger alloy rims, features like leather power seats, and an automatic transmission, but you can buy an EXTREMELY comfortably-configured vehicle for $15,000, especially when you consider the price’s I’ve mentioned are STICKER, not actual, prices. This is no “cheap” car… it’s a superb car that happens to be inexpensive. It even has the rockin’ Ford/Microsoft SYNC voice control audio and Bluetooth system. Have some fun getting acquainted with Fiesta here:
http://bp2.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/2011-Ford-Fiesta
If you want to see even more about it, you can read the blogs of 100 people Ford gave Fiestas to drive for 6 months during their two “Fiesta Movement” campaigns at:
http://www.fiestamovement.com and http://www.fiestamovement2.com
I’m not just going-on about Fiesta because it’s cheap. Other makers offer cheap cars too, but none are anywhere near as good a car as Fiesta happens to be, and it has years of incredible reviews and best-selling awards in Europe (where they really won’t settle for the kind off garbage that’s often sold in North America). In fact, Ford’s dirtiest little secret is that even when they were making lousy vehicles during the 80’s and 90’s (and even part of the 2000’s), they never stopped making vehicles like Mondeo, Fiesta, and Focus (an entirely different Ford Focus that will be replacing what’s currently made here for the 2012 model year) that’s another European best-seller and favorite. With other cars like the Chevy Aveo, Toyota Yaris, and so forth, you usually wind up regretting how little car your money bought. With Fiesta, you’d be absolutely amazed by how MUCH car you bought for your money.
No matter what car you decide to buy, please at least do yourself the favor of not simply choosing to buy a used car by default and take this for the tremendous opportunity it is to begin establishing a strong credit history that will pay you back with lifelong benefits even when you’re buying your 6th, 7th, and 8th new cars and you’re thinking about selling your home because your own kids have already moved out to go to college. And don’t just take MY word for it either. Do your homework and “run the numbers” yourself to see exactly which outcome will serve your interests best. It too is a skill that will serve you well throughout your life.
But just think about it… if, for your $15,000 (or perhaps just a little bit, but not much, more), you could own a brand new vehicle that would be free of ANY repair costs for at least 3 years and 36,000 miles (or up to 7 years or 100,000 miles by buying a $1,000 extended warranty), so dependable that your ability to go to school, work, or social functions would NEVER be in question, offer one of the best economy and safety ratings available, ALL while being an absolute kick in the pants to drive and providing you with the opportunity to establish your credit foundation for your entire lifetime, wouldn’t that be absolutely terrific?
The best news is that you can. Just make sure that if you DO choose to buy a used car, it’s a better value proposition than the best new car available that would serve your needs.
Best of luck. I hope this helps.
Q: The best bang for buck japanese import car for under 15000 or around there?
Hi I was wondering what is the best bang for buck stick japanese car for around 15000, no new cars please. For example: Rx7, R32,33 Skylines, Supras, STI, EVO,.. etc.. What are each ones major flaw compared to its competition and has the biggest aftermarket support? For normal daily driving.
I kind of like the S2000, but its pretty high rev compared to the others so a little more gas consumption to keep it there? please correct me if I’m wrong…. Thank you for your help!
A: Overall all the cars you have picked are really good cars.
The RX7 is a nice car and i will go for the last gen version,a nice car built to feel like a track race car and features a great tunable rotary engine,faults are the lack of room if carrying passengers,the over oil usage and check on a owners forum but engine does need some work at a certain mileage.
The Supra again i will go MK4 version a really nice car and a great engine which on the tt version is higher tunable to over 1000bhp nice aftermarket support and plenty of parts and kits,nice driving position fault is again the lack of room with no rear room for passengers and no trunk space.Check the automatic versions which are rapid and top drag versions run an auto and also the auto was sold with a higher spec than the manual versions.Also the j spec differs from other countries models.
The evo cover many gens and offers a nice 4 door roomy car mixed with rally handling and again a tunable engine with many parts and support and head turning looks.overall a nice car.
The sti myself a fan of the 90’s version great handling and a mass of aftermarket support and parts overall these cars are really good and have a lot to offer fault is the gearboxes and the bad image the car has of late with my friends whom have been Impreza owners for years and years selling theres due to this bad image.
The R32 Skyline comes as non turbo to single and twin turbo models,the R32 is a really light car mixed with RWD and AWD models and technology still not seen in most modern cars,it was joked when it came out it could launch people into space due to its technology,these cars are great sideways fun cars mixed with great handling and head turning looks,a mass of aftermarket support and engine parts the RB engines will see high bhp figures and the engines are hardcore,very roomy cars also with plenty of front and rear space and huge trunk space.

R33 again great cars power wise again a mix of engines as above and this time even a station wagon version out,The GTR models as above and with the R34 also where sold as running at 280bhp but where really sold at 330bhp an that is still detuned with actual running power of these at around 600bhp with stock internals and well over 1000bhp with further mods,the R33 is heavier than the R32 due to offering more room and having more safety equipment due to being newer than the R32,but there is a 2.0l version but this time the R33 features a RB25det engine which allows for the extra weight compared to the R32,overall feel of the R33 is not as nippy as the R32 around town but still nippy but on the straight the R33 now comes to life and feels more hardcore than the R32,the R33 was also the fastest production car around the Nurburg ring when it came out.HKS R33 Skyline owned the AWD drag record until being beaten by a R32 but the HKS is coming back to try to beat it.Again a mass of aftermarket support and a mass of parts.Also Nissan still stock parts down to the R32 on there shelfs.
As said all are great cars and non will see you wrong all cars need high octane fuel and compared to a hummer they get good miles but overall they drink fuel,but it is the curse of these cars.
Myself own Skylines and they do get a lot of attention sometimes bad but that is rare more often i get people taking pics and vids daily and people talking to me about the cars,they do cause a stir which is strange as it feels like you own a 250k car.Look at single turbo versions if you are on a budget as they offer great engines and great handling and never ending aftermarket parts.
I like all the other cars also and have been close to buying some of them over the years,my cousin had a RX7 and a Impreza to which i really like,my friend is on his second MK4 Supra,i send him to them as they where no good to us as we tried or kids in one a found no room for them,The Evo my friends own different gens.

Q: What car should I get for my 16 for under 15K?
My dad is buying me a car for under $15000. He wants little gas mileage. I want a cute car that has good miles per gallon that is also safe. What should I get???
By the way, I have divorced parents, will be transporting siblings, and play lacrosse. so, i do need a car. no need to say i’m spoiled too. I know it, but have always been a hardworker, I have a 4.0 gpa and never have been given an allowance.
A: if you want good gas mielage stick to a civic they arent expensive and insurance rates are really low for them
Q: What are some of the best cars for a 16 year old kid?
I need a car that costs under 15000 (used), VERY reliable, runs well, and has good mpg.
A: depends on if you want to work on it yourself or modify like a ricer. PU trucks are the simplest of all the vehicles out there now to work on, they have a minimum of complex mechanics but unfortunetley they are now computer controlled and fuel injected. On the other hand a compact import by a good manufacturer will run forever if treated correctly
Q: what is a nice car for me that is under $15000?

Q: Whats the best used car you can get for under 15000?

A: Yes you can get an older GT for that.
Q: What is the fastest car that can be bought used for under 15000?
I am looking for a fast car made no earlier than 2003. Not looking for a mustang
A: It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota… First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car – for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net
