The most inexpensive car sold in the USA? I hope your 16 year old won't hate you. That car can get 31 mpg or more. There was a 1.6 liter version that did not even come with A/C and radio sold for $9,990. The brand new 2012 Versa sedan still sells for less than 14,000. Just make sure that car has frequent oil changes at 3,750 miles. And keep receipts.
