What about a Lincoln MKZ? Don't know used pricing, but wonder if you can get a 2014 with the 2l Eco Boost for ~25k? Heated and cooled seats. 240hp. should get 25+ for mpg. Uses regular gas not premium. Quick look on Auto trader says yeah you can get them under $25k.

Thanks for those. Adding the Acura and mkz to the list. I need to look into the maintenance and specs of all these cars too.

Buying a truck hasn't ever taken me but a day to pick what I want. There are so many more options for cars though.

Do you sell new vehicles as well? All of the cars, except the GT, I'm looking at are affordable brand new.

Where are you located? I'm from North LA, but I intended on doing a lot of looking in Houston and Dallas.

Can you send me a link to your inventory?

Thanks!

The Accord sport, the Accord ex-l v6, the Mustang gt, the Mazda 6, and a couple of others are the main cars I'm looking into at this point.

The luxury cars (Benz and Lexus) are nice, but I'd prefer to get a car with cheaper maintenance.

Plus, I'm shocked at how nice of a car every manufacturer offers. Obviously some are a little nicer than others, but there isn't a car that doesn't offer at least a pretty luxurious interior.

In Dec I bought a used 2015 Prius (no it doesnt plug in) with 1500mi for 21k out the door. Easily hits 90 and I get 42.6mpg driving 80 for 86mi to work each way.

I was in the same boat as you. Had an F150 only getting 15mpg (if I was lucky) and its amazing getting almost 3 times that now on a tank half the size of my truck. My wife told me recently that we were spending more in fuel for the F150/month than we are now on the car note plus fuel for the prius.
