Not people here on EcoModder. We tell you to sell your 4-5 vehicles and replace them with one newer and more reliable used car. We told you to do that when $500 junkers were selling for $2500 / $3,000.

As an alternative we told you to sell all but the best car and pocket the windfall.

We routinely say: "Why are you shopping for more 20 year old cars when you have 3, 4, 5 already that you haven't fixed and sold?" We say: "fix a car, sell it, repeat."

I am waiting to be impressed, but the Forte looks all right.

The first "Domestic" vehicle on this list was a Malibu at #14 at $26,95.
The discontinued Bolt is #20 at $28,713.
Truecar: [20] Cheapest Cars

The key thing about that list is "Car". There are other vehicles cheaper than the 10 on that list.

Chevy's cheapest vehicle is the 2024 Trax at $20,400 and the 2023 Trailblazer is $22,100
Ford's cheapest vehicle is the 2023 Maverick Hybrid at $22,595
