A number of writers for the venerable publication recently unveiled what they believe are the best used cars under $20,000, and there are a lot of familiar names but a few models might surprise some readers.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Honda\" class=\"dnautolink\">Honda<\/a> Accord made the cut, which likely will not shock anybody who is even a casual follower of the automobile industry. Often regarded as one of the most reliable sedans, the Accord offers a sleek look while still providing a fuel-efficient option at an affordable price. Expert Jeff Barlett also cited the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Ford\" class=\"dnautolink\">Ford<\/a> Fusion as another one of his favorite choices.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The Fusion can often be found for a great price, but the added space and sharper lines of the Accord would have me leaning in that direction,&quot; he wrote for the publication. &quot;Either would provide good safety protection compared against typical, new small cars at that price point adding appeal to shopping used.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not all drivers are looking for a compact sedan like the Accord or the Fusion. For those in the market for a new truck or SUV, Consumer Reports reminds its readers that there are still affordable and fuel-efficient options. In particular, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Toyota\" class=\"dnautolink\">Toyota<\/a> Highlander resonated with reviewer Eric Evarts, who says that despite the fact it comes at a manageable size, the Highlander provides plenty of towing power for those who need it.<\/p>\n<p>For families who need more storage and seating than anything else, a minivan is the obvious choice, and according to the publication&#039;s Tom Mutchler, the 2008 Honda Odyssey is the way to go for those looking to stay under the $20,000 level. With room for eight and a camera that makes backing up a cinch, the Odyssey is more than a suitable choice for families.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether or not you&#039;re looking for a used vehicle that provides you with optimal towing power like the Highlander or one that will make the morning commute just a little less painful like the Fusion, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\" class=\"dnautolink\">New Jersey Auto Auction<\/a> is sure to have it at an affordable price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many publications often provide their list for what the best and most affordable used cars are, but few are more well-respected than Consumer Reports.
