best resale/used car for money and mpg
I'm looking for a 1995 to 2006 low priced car, with the potential for high mpg.
Are there any lists on here of such cars? Also, is there a list in descending mpg order of cars used by forumites? |
That is kind of like asking where the best place to eat is, it really depends on your area and what you have available to you, how large of city you live in, what city you live in and what vehicles are popular in your area, then you need to figure out what vehicle fits your needs, not just how many people can fit it in and how much cargo you can carry in it but how long do you want it to last, if you only drive 7,000 miles a year a vehicle that has issues with rust is going rust out before it wears out but if you drive 30,000 miles a year a vehicle with a less reliable drive train is going to give you issues first.
There are not lists exactly like you are looking for, however the EPA MPG web site lets you sort by age and gas mileage but they do not give you vehicle issues or used vehicle cost, Kelly Blue Book gives you costs and there are a number of good car review web sites to give you vehicle issues, trouble is, vehicles that have very few issues hold their value, so do cars that get good mileage. |
If you're looking for high mpg, nothing beats the original Honda Insight.

A Prius or Manual Honda Civic HX.

Oops you said resale, but then again :) |
It will be most useful to post your budget, as this will determine which cars are available to you. For example, if you can't spend more than 2k, that automatically rules out almost every car made after the year 1999.

Keep in mind that the above data covers *all* manufacturer models in the Ecomodder Garage. If you see a manufacturer you like, you need to go into the Garage and filter for that manufacturer and then figure out the model that is the MPG winner. For instance, the Audis have a wide deviation, but maybe that is because some Audi's are diesel while others are gassers. CarloSW2 |
