With new cars rising in price as quickly as our gas prices these days, we’re always on the hunt for a bargain to save money as reliably and safely as possible. New cars cost an average of nearly $50,000, but there are still a handful of affordable models available. It’s unlikely that we’ll ever see a new sub-$20k car again. However, the $30k – $35k price range is still full of a variety of models to suit everybody’s lifestyle. Buyers could pick cars as simple as a new Toyota Corolla or an equivalent compact sedan, or they can get a little closer to that $35,000 budget for nicer, more practical, and capable vehicles.
