![]() We focused specifically on providing maximum value and reliability for the price, prioritizing models which are known for durability and low cost of operation, but also tried hard to provide a variety of models to suit different tastes. Defunct brands often lose value, which can make them a good buy later on, but it can also depend on the model and the manufacturer. In all cases, the vehicles’ manufacturers still exist and there’s generally adequate parts and service support. Some of the vehicles on our list come from defunct brands. In all cases, we believe that the models on our $5,000 car list can be found in even better condition for $10,000, so some of them reappear here. Similarly, cars like the Pontiac G8 sold in numbers too small to gather enough data. For example, the limited data available on the 2002 to 2008 Nissan 350Z suggests this model is a reliable used car, but there isn’t enough information to make a full-throated recommendation. Older models, with fewer data points, required more evaluation or were generally left off for lack of available data. We sampled hundreds of used car listings from Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Phoenix, and Seattle. ![]() In addition to these criteria, the vehicle had to have average transaction prices under or near $10,000, be manufactured after 2001, and be generally available in five major geographic markets. ![]() To determine our list of the best vehicles under $10,000, we cross-referenced a broad range of reliability and quality scores, evaluations by vehicle testers, thousands of long-term reports and reviews from owners and factored in our own long-term experiences with these vehicles as new and used cars.
