Cheap Cars

The Big Three auto makers in the U.S. are in trouble. Sales have declined steadily over the past few years. Financial losses are mounting. Foreign car makers are taking over.

What does this mean for us as automobile consumers?

It has become largely a buyers' market when it comes to most American-made cars, trucks, and minivans. Manufacturers and dealers are desperate for our business. Prices have been slashed and deals are easily negotiated, especially for slow-selling models. Rebates and other incentives are everywhere.

In times of high gasoline prices, prices for fuel efficient cars go up, especially small used cars. However, SUV and minivan prices go down. So if gas mileage is not a major concern, some great bargains are available on larger, less fuel-efficient vehicles.

In short, these are good times to buy American. See the following article about finding cheap cars.
