In today’s marketplace locating quality new cars under 10000 dollars can be a bit of a challenge. With the reduced options many do come close however. For example the 2009 Hyundai Accent GS with a base sticker price of $10,665 is the same car as the more expensive Accent GS with the additional options included.

Hyundai Accent Under 10000

Basic options will range from antilock brakes, A/C, and car stereo. Of course there is a long list of available additional options and any prospective buyers can easily add up the cost of the new car with only the options they are interested in. This is a great approach to saving money on new cars under 10000 dollars or staying very close to this price.

The 2007 Hyundai Accent is an example of a great used car under 10000 dollars with tons of additional options. This particular model is highly regarded for its 4 cylinder engine, automatic transmission, low emissions, and high fuel economy up to 35 MPG which is still an impressive number.

The additional options we see on this model in this price range in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition include power windows, power locks, AM/FM stereo with CD player, power mirrors, driver side air bag, passenger airbag, and side airbags.


Many of these used cars come with sport packages which also offer cloth seats, fog lights, sport wheels, map lights, vanity mirrors, and rear spoiler.

The 2008 Hyundai Accent is another example of nearly new cars under 10000 dollars with full option packages, high fuel economy, and low miles. Overall the advanced standard safety technologies from the manufacturer are well worth noting if you are looking at either new or used vehicles.

Included in the safety notes are the body side reinforcements, child safety door locks, energy absorbing steering column, driver and passenger front and side impact airbags, front three point seat belts, and front and rear designed crumple zones.

Also safety features of note include front and rear outboard roof mounted head curtain airbags, occupant classification system, lower anchors and tethers for children, and hood buckling creases and safety stops.

Generally the advanced safety specifications are something we tend to note on smaller economy sized cars due to the fact that the overall design and construction needs to focus on not only comfort and practicality, but safety in the event of a collision as well.


Since the 2002 Hyundai Accent was first offered (also a few earlier models we had bought and sold) we have had exceptionally good experiences with the model as one of the best fuel efficient economical used cars and they appear to hold up well bringing good value at a good price.

Today this model of Hyundai offers 14 inch steel wheels with full wheel covers, front disc/rear drum brakes, engine speed sensing power rack and pinion steering, front stabilizer bar, gas shocks, and independent Mac Pherson strut front suspension with coil springs. The overall handling of the vehicle in both town and highway driving conditions presents a feeling of well built construction with an emphasis on comfort.

The high fuel economy of up to 35 MPG remains an impressive point in today’s economic climate where the focus is turning towards efficiency in many areas of the American consumer’s lifestyles.
