In today’s tough economy, buying big ticket items can be considered a poor financial decision; however some people need these items, such as cars. In California and surrounding areas, having a car is almost as important as having a place to live. The need for a car that runs well has never been greater, but for those of us who are in the market for a new car, spending a great deal of money can be frightening. However, despite the state of the economy, there are many high quality, low priced cars available; and we are here to help point out a few of the best.
#1 2009 Hyundai Accent $10,775.

The Hyundai Accent brings an all new meaning to the idea of cheap cars. This car is cheaper than a years worth of rent in some cities and yet it still has that accessories that make a new car fun. This three door speedster handles and performs extremely well for its price. Its suspension is tight while giving enough for speed bumps on the way to the grocery store. A few of its other perks are its six, yes Hyundai managed to cram six, air bags and its racing inspired tire pressure monitoring system.

#2 2009 Chevrolet Aveo $10,895
Our second Chevrolet on the list, the Aveo is our first to crack the sub $11,000 mark; which many believe is a sign of an inferior automobile. The Aveo, however, manages to take peoples preconceived notions of what a car should cost, and flip them on their ears. The Aveo comes with some excellent features that are missing in many other cars in its price range. A few of these features are adjustable seats, AM/FM stereo and tilt steering. The feature that caught my eye was the tire pressure monitoring system. This system alerts you when any one of your four tires gets below the manufacturer recommended level; a feature usually only found on competitive racing cars like formula one and rally.

#3 2009 Toyota Yaris $11,350
The Yaris has hopped across the pond after concurring Europe. Yaris’s older brother hit the streets of Europe in 1999 and hasn’t looked back. This American version has reaped the rewards of 10 years of zooming around European alleyways and countryside. What does this all mean? It means that Toyota has had a decade to work out any sort of kinks that can occasionally accompany a new car. This car has been worked over again and again and is extremely reliable. Also, did we mention it’s built by the same company that designs and manufactures Lexus?
