I’ve been on the lookout for budget-friendly cars and I’m curious about the cheapest options available globally.

Here are a few points I’m trying to figure out:

  • What is the price range for the cheapest cars?
  • Are there specific models that stand out in terms of reliability and features?
  • Where can I find the best deals on these cars? Online marketplaces, local dealerships?
  • What are the pros and cons of owning such budget cars?

I’ve come across various lists and articles detailing low-cost cars, but there seems to be a lot of variation in the information, and I’m hoping to gather some firsthand insights or experiences from fellow forum members.

If anyone has specifics on models that might be worth considering, along with their prices and any useful features, I’d really appreciate it! Looking to make an informed decision without breaking the bank! :sweat_smile:

It’s essential to look beyond the initial price. For instance, the Tata Nano was one of the cheapest cars but had high maintenance costs due to parts availability. Fuel efficiency and reliability can significantly impact the long-term costs.
