"So why do you think there are no cheap basic cars being sold new?"

We had two cars, one was Hyundai Accent. Altho it was only rated at EPA highway 32MPG, I could get 44-45MPG with it. One dealer during the recession, sold two Accents for $14,000. We didn't need 4 cars, but I did try to find someone to split the deal, to no avail. Later, I put larger diameter used tires on the Accent, dropped the highway rpms by 300 & got 48MPG. Sure wished I could have found someone to buy in with me.
