These days, buying a cheap new car is quickly becoming a thing of the past. A decade ago, if you were shopping for a brand-new car with a sticker price under $20k, you were spoiled for choice.

Back then, buying new instead of used seemed to make a bit more sense than it does now with models such as those on offer.
