They’re turning tassels on college campuses nationwide, and Autotrader offered suggestions for 10 vehicles dealerships could be turning with those newly minted degree holders.
Following the commemoration of the hard work they put in during the student years, Autotrader said young adults find themselves in need of their own vehicle as they begin the next phase of life.
To help guide members of the class of 2021 as they consider which vehicle to purchase, Autotrader named the 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates with a practical focus on value, fuel economy, safety and reliability.
“Whether you’re still driving the car you’ve had since high school or you’re ready to purchase your first-ever vehicle, college graduates need affordable, reliable transportation,” Autotrader executive editor Brian Moody said in a news release. “There are many factors to consider and hundreds of different car models available in the marketplace, so it can feel overwhelming when trying to decide which vehicle to choose.
“We understand that with a job offer in hand it may be tempting to consider splurging on a dream car, but we advise grads not to overdo it,” Moody continued. “There are plenty of great new and used cars available for a reasonable price that won’t stretch your first real paychecks too far.”
