What are the Best Used Cars under $5,000 for 2024? [Infographic]

When we say “best”, we mean cars that last. Cars with the least maintenance. Cars that meet your needs without costing you a fortune. That's right, these cars will cost you less than $5,000 at Express Auto Auction, and you can rely on these wheels for a while.

We sell used cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, and more at our San Diego auction, so we’re big believers in vehicles with long lifespans, high mileage, and affordability. 🥳 Over the past year, we've sold thousands of used vehicles with an average sale price of $1,500! Most are in solid condition and with a tune-up will serve any driver well!

The best new cars change every year, but the best used cars stay the best for a long time, and those are our bread and butter. Read more about the best used cars here and the best used trucks.

Here’s a great infographic to sum up the best of the best, you can reference when you start bidding. 🙌
