Many people have told us they don't buy used cars because of the slim difference in price between new and used vehicles. Fair enough, but we think the times are changing fast. The average new car costs $50,900, countered only by the average price of used cars, which is just over $30,000.

 

If the new cars south of the posted average don’t work for you, there’s surely something available at the near-$21,000 discount on the used market to choose from. Tight on a budget? Don't want to pay more than a car is worth? An older Toyota just might be the answer.
