What Kind of Used Car Can You Get for Under $20K?

Fuel-Efficient Sedans for the MetroWest Commute

Compact SUVs and AWD Vehicles for New England Winters

For budget-friendly front-wheel-drive options, the Hyundai Venue and Kona are popular picks. Shop all used SUVs.
Hatchbacks for City Parking and Everyday Versatility
Heading into Boston, Cambridge or Worcester regularly? A hatchback like the Kia Soul, Subaru Impreza or Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is easy to park and still hauls groceries, gear and luggage with the rear seats folded.
Affordable Used EVs and Hybrids
Going electric doesn't have to mean a big price tag. Used EVs such as the Nissan Leaf, Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra, along with hybrids like the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid and Ford Escape Hybrid, regularly come through our lots under $20,000. View all electric and hybrid vehicles.
