Nissan Versa (2016) - $8,800

The Versa subcompact falls into the same category as cars like the Hyundai Accent , Ford Fusion , and Chevrolet Cruiser . This 2016 four-door sedan can be yours for under $9,000 and is a pretty good car for the money.

However, compared to other vehicles in this segment like the Versa , it's less well-equipped in terms of technological features and amenities. It has manual air conditioning, analog gauges, and an overall dated interior. That said, for everyday use, this car can get the job done on a budget.

Kia Sedona (2013) - $9,800

If small SUVs are your thing, the Sedona can be a great option for under $10,000. It might not be as flashy or eye-catching as you'd like, but for less than $10,000, the Sedona is a great little SUV. It features a V6 engine with a similar front-wheel-drive system to the Grand Caravan.

The interior of the Sedona may not give you as warm a welcome and the exterior doesn't look as good as the Grand Caravan , but it's a vehicle that doesn't have problems like the Grand Caravan 's head gasket , so you can buy and drive it without worry.
