With the current economic condition, many people are looking to cut costs and find ways to live life in a cheaper manner. One of the major concerns in almost everyone’s life is finding a car that can provide them with the reliable transportation they so desperately need. There are a number of used cars out there that can provide people this reliability and save them a ton of money as well. These are the top five cars of 2012 that fall under the five thousand dollar mark.
Subaru Impreza 2000-2002
This car comes in a variety of body styles and all-wheel-drive, which makes the Subaru Impreza a nice alternative to mainstream economic cars. It is known for its scrappy personality, an immaculate reliability record, and has a very fun and maneuverable drive. Some of the negatives, based off of popular public opinion, the rear seat is tight and the anti-lock braking system option for the L model is a bit pricey. However, if you are buying this car used this price will more than likely be deducted from the overall value of the car.
Honda Accord 1995-1999
This car is a great option for parents who wish to buy one of their children a new used ride. This automobile is popularly known for its quality build, spacious interior, nice engine, and very comfortable seating. It really has been built and manufactured under some intelligent engineering. There really isn’t much negative associated with this car, but this is a double-edged sword. Due to this cars immaculate build and performance it attracts a lot of thieves who wish to steal it for parts. However, it is a great option for those who have a secure surrounding.
Honda Civic 1994-2000
The Honda Civic is best known for its spacious interior in comparison to other cars of the same class. Most are also equipped with the powerful Si engine. This provides drivers with the power and speed to either use it when needed or enjoy it on the race track. The trim level also has a strong reputation as being comfortable at all levels. The negatives associated with this car include anti-brake availability on more than one trim level as well as the style. Its style will make you stick out like a sore thumb. Most would say this is an excellent option toward a first car.
Hyundai Accent 2003-2007
Now that we are getting closer to 2012, most new drivers might find comfort in the model year of this car. The Hyundai Accent offers a simple and frugal design. It is equipped with supportive seats, strong brakes, capable handling, and standard side curtain airbags. It is no wonder this is a popular pick for a used car. It also comes with an outstanding warranty that can save owners a lot trouble. The only drawbacks are that it has a jumpy acceleration when equipped with an automatic transmission, but the overall engine is very quiet.
Ford Ranger 1998-2002
For truck lovers, this is the used car of choice. It comes equipped with a four-door extended cab that can fit all of your friends and family that aren’t full-grown adults. It can produce 207 horse power with the available V6 engine, which should give a tower all the power he or she needs. Lastly, the control layout is simplistic and functional. This is not a truck for construction or engineering work. The seat comfort is poor, and the crew-cab body style isn’t quite there. These are the best used cars for sale in NJ. Be sure to do enough research that makes you completely comfortable with your decision. Happy hunting!
