Just because you didn’t pay top dollar for your car doesn’t mean it’s a few miles away from heading to the junkyard. If you search around and do some research, you can find quality cars at a fair price.
Most cars that cost less tend to be smaller and get better fuel mileage, which is a major plus with the rate gas prices are rising lately. Compact and subcompact cars can also save you money on your Wisconsin auto insurance policy; insurance rates tend to increase as horsepower increases.
Shopping for an affordable car (depending on your budget) can mean opting out on taken-for-granted luxuries that more expensive cars may have. These can include air conditioning, power windows and locks, and even a radio. Automatic transmission can also cost extra, but a manual transition car may be the perfect reason you need to finally learn how to drive a stick shift vehicle.
Finding the right car while on a budget may be time consuming and stressful, but finding a fuel-efficient and reliable model will save you money and be worth it in the long run.
