Unlocking the Road (part 2)

My Search for a Quality Used Car

Now that I have gotten my license the next step is to get a car. I have been looking at many different brands and different models and I think I have done a good job narrowing down my options.

There are three cars left on my list, but I am not sure which one will be the final choice. I was initially looking for something I could use for a courier or delivery side gig, but I heard most of these companies do background checks.

So, if I don’t need something with a lot of cargo space, then the next sticking point is I want something with good fuel economy. I do want the car to have either a Mild-Hybrid or a pure electric powertrain. Gas and power are fairly inexpensive here compared with other states.

Well, here are my options:

Kia Niro (Hybrid)

Chevy Bolt (EV)

Nissan

My price range is limited to $16,000 and I am looking for something from around 2018 or newer. I mostly want to make sure the car has modern technology in it as far as the instrument panel and cameras. Anything that helps me drive safer will be of benefit.

I’ve got until May at the earliest to make a decision.
