2008 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
i went in with set price and style i wanted, i got it. insurance was cheap on it.
2008 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4
5-speed manual FWD
The car in base model is very resonably priced in my opinion. Even my LX (ps, ac, am/fm cd) was a great deal. The dealership gave the max. on my trade in (110%) and I drove away with a payment $50 less per month and 2 years less!
2007 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
$14K for a car like this is pretty good.
2002 4dr Sedan 96-horsepower 1.5L I4
5-speed manual FWD
It came with AM/FM/CD, power steering and air conditioning for $6995 for a new car.

2012 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD
Less than $25k out the door w/ all taxes & other BS ain't bad for a 300hp car that drives this well and this fast.
2011 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD
2 thousand dollars less than its competitors.
2010 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed manual RWD
The 2010 in December was a great price! Even though this is my fun vehicle ( I have eight others, I can easily afford the payments and insurance. Actually, adding this to the "fleet" only added an addition $53 to my six-month premiums.
2007 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8
5-speed manual RWD
I can't believe how reasonably priced this car was.
2005 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD
Alot of car "fun to drive" for a really good price.
2005 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8
5-speed manual RWD
Cheap for the performance level, and cheap to own long term.
2002 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 3.8L V6
5-speed manual RWD
Very cheap car for the performance and styling even in the 6 cylinder model.
