Ford For most young people and their parents, buying a first car is a major step.
One great option is to look at cars that are used, which could frequently be had for a fraction of the price of new versions.
We came up with 15 used automobiles we think are the best for the young car buyer on a budget.
To make our list, we concentrated on automobiles that are available on the industry right now for under $15,000. We looked for people who are reliable, fun to drive, comfortable, attractive, economical, functional, and most of all, secure.
For security, we checked out the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) average front overlap crash test ratings for the cars we selected.
