Here's all you need to know about studying in the USA! - hubs.la/Q0148WSt0

When you go international, buying a car is sometimes far better than using public transport or availing taxi/Uber services. In a lot of countries, used cars are extremely cheap and easy to maintain. I'll share my experiences about purchasing a safe, affordable car while I was a student and provide some smart tips on how to buy a cheap car in the US!

Best website for buying/ searching for used cars: www.cars.com
Another website which is not as reliable but has cheaper alternatives than cars.com: www.craigslist.com

Cheapest car makes and models in the United States, along with used car prices

Nissan Versa Sedan - $2,800 onwards
Chevrolet Spark - $3,000 onwards
Honda Civic - $3,000 onwards
Toyota Corolla - $3,000 onwards
Mitsubishi Mirage - $3,700 onwards
Ford Fiesta - $4,500 onwards
Kia Rio - $4,800 onwards
Nissan Versa - $5,000 onwards

Cost of car ownership non-metro cities - $200 per month
Cost of transportation (avg person) - $450 per month

    Interesting. The 2-3 years idea is amazing.
  • @bluediamondinsights7468
    Did you have to pay the sales tax at the time you were registering the car since you did not pay the sales tax at purchase?

    Here in Cleveland, Ohio the public transport is not extensive, I am looking for a really cheap car like max 3k$ . Is used car better or should I buy a new one? For testing the car, is it’s better to take a professional mechanic for the test drive? Also how to choose the correct insurance policy? What are points one should look at?
  • @dawidnowodworski7222
    Hi! Did you need to get driver license in US? Did you get it after buying a car? I want to buy a car too but I wonder how long can I drive on license from Europe and if I can take an exam after buying with my own car.
  • @tanyatandon1190
    Can you please tell in more detail how to find a dealer( online or otherwise)?
  • @max-3158
    It's the same in India. A 15 year old swift will be sold for more price than some land boat like accord or sonata. Because swift is more practical, lower maintainance
