Best Used Cars on a Budget

Get the most value for money in your next car purchase

With the cost of living crisis showing no signs of backing off, many of us are looking to cut costs when we make purchases, both small and large — and there are few larger purchases than a car! The need to upgrade hasn’t disappeared, and it is possible to find a used car on a budget that you can afford. 

Whether you pay outright or spread the cost with manageable car finance payments, there’s a good chance that you can still have a car that ticks all your boxes without breaking the bank. In terms of value for money, there are a few cars on the market that make the best used cars on a budget. Ready to meet them? 

Vauxhall Adam

The Vauxhall Adam manages to look fun and refined at the same time, and it’s a compact hatchback that will be extremely kind to your pocket. With low purchase prices and running costs to please even the most frugal motorists, the Vauxhall Adam is a great bet if you’re looking to make savings on an ongoing basis. 

Citroen C1

The Citroen C1 is your next best friend if you’re regularly travelling around town, proving itself to tick the convenience, fun and functional boxes! There are some funky models on the market, particularly those that were registered in recent years, and with features like a reversing camera, split rear folding seats, and Bluetooth on board many models, it’s not to be underestimated. 

Nissan Micra 

Popular for years amongst those who favour a 5-door small hatchback, the Micra’s appeal persists through its various guises. Forever cute but also practical, the Micra also comes in bang on budget for many, with a decent amount of features on board to make whatever journey it tackles comfortable and well-connected. 

Hyundai i10

The epitome of a city car, the Hyundai i10 is budget-friendly too. It’s short and sweet and therefore easy to park, as well as seriously fuel-efficient with small petrol engines that make it fun to drive as well as good for your finances. 

Volkswagen UP!

Despite its reserved demeanour, the Volkswagen Up is a little firecracker once you get to know it, nipping you from A to B with ease. It’s ideal for commuting, errands, and even the school run - it’s deceptively spacious inside! The cabin is fool-proof, with controls in sensible places, making it a great candidate for being your first car too.
