If the current auto market stresses you out when all you want is a cheap new car, you’re not alone. It’s getting harder and harder to find an affordable machine for those of us who aren’t interested in a car that sticks to the basics. Thankfully, there are still a handful of brand new cars you can buy for under $20,000.
Please note that these vehicles are listed based on their MSRP or the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. That means there may still be additional fees if you buy the car from a dealer – but the lower price will help you stay safe within that $20,000 budget.
If you’ve come to the end of this list and are wondering why I didn’t include the Ford Maverick, it’s because I included the destination fee in the MSRP. The destination fee is Not optional, and it’s silly that automakers don’t just put those numbers in the MSRP – but I digressed.
