This is where the used car market opens up. You're looking at 7-12 year old models, but the mileage and condition vary more than the lower price ranges. Mid-size SUVs like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Mazda CX-5 become available. Ford F-150s and RAM 1500s with higher miles show up here. Sedans at the top of this range can be loaded with leather, sunroof, and heated seats. Backup cameras and Bluetooth are common; some vehicles will have blind-spot monitoring and other driver-assist features.
At this budget, both franchise and independent 704 dealers are competing for your business. Some higher-priced vehicles in this range may still have remaining factory warranty. Either way, you're buying something that a bank will finance at a reasonable rate, which gives you more negotiating leverage than a cash-only sub-$8K purchase.
