Top 5 Best Value Vehicles for 2013
Every generation has their own economical hurdles to overcome and the days we're living in now are no different. The 70's had the energy crisis which led to the oil glut of the 80's which rolled into the Oil price spike of the 90's due to the invasion of Kuwait and in March of 2000 regular and unleaded gasoline rose to an all time high of $1.53 per gal.
$1.53...Sigh.
I'd love to pay $1.53 per gallon today. So if time has taught us anything it's that we should spend wisely when purchasing new or used automobiles. Finding a car that's known to have a good history and resale value makes good sense so it only makes good sense to search for the best cars you can find for your dollar.
