New Cars under $20K

LOL my neighbor has an old mighty max that has been getting greener and greener with pollen the last few years. I'm seriously tempted to go see what he wants for it.  Just no time for ANOTHER project. Might need to finish a few first. 

Talk about nostalgia....I remember buying my near base model 2wd 1996 Ranger XL in 95... for 10k. Looking back it was awesome to only have a $270/mo vehicle payment vs the $600 one now...

I've seen new Kia Souls with a manual Trans for $12k new some places.

New?

I found one listed for $12,956 on Autotrader. MSRP says $20,456, so they could have swapped the 2 and the 9, but that dealer also has a couple listed in the $13's, so may be legit. That's a tempting price, and I'm not even really looking to buy a new car right now lol. 

Pretty sure I bought my 1997 VW Jetta GT and our 2015 Jetta SE for almost the same money.  From what I remember the 2004 was more

Well bugger me.  I just did a Nationwide search on Autotempest for 20/21 Kia Soul's, less than 250 miles (to force new vehicles only) and damn if I didn't find two, both in Yonkers NY.  The first a 21 for $12,900 with 28 miles on, and the other a 20 for $13,00 with 25 miles on. I didn't closer, but I bet they must be Demo's or something like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are stacking several incentives that you (or anyone else) is unlikely to quality for all of them.

In a 250 mile range sub-13k search from my place, I see one Versa from a dealer group that is known for being a hive of scum and villainy, two Chevy Sparks, and a 2020 Mirage.

New indeed. I think a few of them were located in Virginia if I recall.
