Volkswagen Tiguan (2013) - $9,900

Finding a Tiguan for less than $10,000 definitely won't be easy, but if you do, you'll have access to some very attractive features that you might not find in other vehicles on this list.

To begin with, its appearance is timeless, it's made with high-quality materials, it offers a smooth ride, superior handling, and a powerful engine. However, thanks to the ample headroom and legroom for passengers in both rows of seats, this SUV's cargo space isn't as extensive as others of its size. Again, it depends on what you're willing to trade off.

Honda Accord (2011) - $8,500

Honda 's equivalent of the Camry is the Accord , another car designed to get people from point A to point B, with no fancy features. The Accord of this era — like the Camry — comes with a 2.4-liter inline-four engine as the base model, but if you're lucky, you might find the V6 variant.

Despite this, unlike the Camry , this Honda comes with safer and more convenient features that make for a more user-friendly driving experience. In fact, if you can find the top-of-the-line version, you can even get cruise control and other notable features.
