Budget Car News

If there is one thing that I have noticed about Ford, it is that their prices have gone way down.  Normally, for a sports car of the Mustang’s class, you are going to be shelling out at least thirty grand right?  Not anymore!  Nowadays, Ford has lowered their prices down and you can get the 2010 Mustang Base Coupe for just over twenty thousand dollars, which is a fantastic price for a sports car that looks great and feels fantastic.

Some of the 2010 Mustang Base Coupe’s specs include: 4,009 cc 4.0 liters V 6 front engine with 100.4 mm bore, 84.4 mm stroke, 9.7 compression ratio, overhead cam and two valves per cylinder 99N, 16.1 gallon main unleaded fuel tank 13.4 and finally, the power at a remarkable 157 kW, 210 HP SAE at 5,300 rpm; 240 ft lb, 325 Nm at 3,500 rpm.  All of that for just over twenty grand?  Remarkable price!

So can I tell you guys about the all new Ford Explorer Sport Trac?  If you are in the market for an affordable, great looking, durable and all around incredible truck, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac is definitely going to be it!  This truck actually works as both an SUV as well as a pickup truck and no matter what your needs are, this truck can suit all of them.  Whether you are looking to off-road it, or you are looking to move, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac is the truck for you to pick up!

One thing that I love about this truck is the price – something has to be said about the Ford Company in general. They are the only car company that has avoided bankruptcy and that honestly says something about them – while I am not the biggest Ford fan, I can appreciate a good company when I see one and Ford is a good company. 

The Ford Explorer Sport Trac tops out at about $25,000 and that is a great price for a durable truck like this one!

Finding an affordable car nowadays is something that a lot of people are struggling with – if you are one of those people, just remember that you can get your salesmen to agree to your price, you really just need to haggle your way down.  That brings us to the Honda Fit Hybrid.  This car is one of the few that you do not have to haggle the price down for it is just over fifteen thousand and for a hybrid Honda car, that is extremely reasonable!

This car is actually going to be released in the fall of 2010, but it is definitely one of the best cars in the world!  Not only does the Honda Fit Hybrid have the Honda name behind it, but if you want a quality car that is going to last you quite a long time, you absolutely need to make sure that you do a little research!

Although all of us in the US are scared of what is going to happen to the automotive industry, for those of us that are concerned with the environment, you can rest assured that China is taking care of us.  The Coda is the newest, greatest and latest car to be imported from China to the US and it is a five passenger sedan that is completely electric!  This car runs on Chinese batteries and while that will most likely change when it comes to the US, the Coda is definitely the first step in getting fully electric cars.

This car can run on its batteries 90 to 120 miles per charge and it will start selling in California next year and then throughout the country later in the year.  It will run roughly forty-five thousand, but to be honest, if you do not have to buy gas, that really is a good idea.

So what do you think?  About us importing another car that is and a completely electric car?  Let me know!
