Want a new car but staying on a budget? You aren’t alone. Most people are working with a budget but also need a car. Especially if you have to travel for your job, it might be the most important thing to make sure you get to work.
Being on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t have a new car.
With interest rates on being lower on new cars, you may be able to afford more than you think. Say you got pre-approval for a loan and you know you can’t spend more than $20,000 to stay within your budget. Kim’s Chevrolet can make it easy for you. Just click on the $20k or less button under “range” and you’ll be on your way. Here are some cars you can check out right now.
- 2017 Chevrolet Spark: While the Spark is small, it has a technology upgrade and is made to keep you cruising around the city. I mean, you can’t beat the fuel economy at 30 city and 39 highway. Plus, it starts at $13,000 so there is plenty of room to grow.
- 2017 Chevrolet Sonic: Think the Spark is slightly too small to fit your lifestyle, then upgrade to a Sonic. The Chevrolet Sonic is bigger but still gets almost the same fuel economy as the Spark. It starts at $15,145 and you can even upgrade a couple of things to keep it under $20k.
- 2017 Chevrolet Cruze: This car starts at $16,975 so you’ll have to watch the upgrades however it has great gas mileage so you’ll still save money. If you like technology upgrades (like a backup camera), I would buy one of the other models.
Remember, as long as you stay within your budget, you can find something within your price range and brand new. It maybe smaller than you’d love but in a couple years when your budget changes, it will still be worth some money to trade in. So, it will help in the long run.
