Lexus, a luxury car brand known for its long-term reliability, has been highlighted as a good value-saving vehicle by Kelley Blue Book (KBB). Despite the discontinuation of the Nissan Versa after 2025, it is no longer possible to buy a new car for less than $20,000 in the US. However, a $10,000 budget can still find five used Lexus SUVs that offer affordable luxury but shouldn't cost the earth to maintain. The 2017 Lexus NX is one of the newest models available for under $20k, with base-spec and mid-spec examples having an average value of just under $19,000. The 2015 Lexus RX is also the best year for buying a used car, averaging a purchase price between $16-17,000 and between $20.50, according to KBB.
