What Can You Get Under $15,000?
The Cheapest Way to Drive
This budget suits light and small hatches well. Browse our full hatchback range for models like the Swift, Mazda2 and Honda Jazz.
Budget-Friendly Boot Space
Older sedans at this price point can offer more boot space than an equivalent hatch, a practical option if load space matters most.
A Higher Seating Position
An older or higher-kilometre small SUV can occasionally be found at this budget. See our SUV range for what's currently in stock.
Buying Smart Under $15,000
Under $15,000 is an entry-level budget in today's car market, so it's realistic to expect an older model year or higher kilometres than you'd find at a higher price point. That doesn't mean compromising on safety or reliability, it just means the size, age and features you get will be more modest.
Every vehicle we sell goes through the same servicing and safety checks regardless of price. Applicable imported vehicles also complete entry compliance through VINZ and Drivesure before they're offered for sale, so you're not trading budget for peace of mind.
Finance is available even at this price point through UDC Finance, Finance Now, Marac Car Loans and MTF, so you don't need to pay the full price upfront. See our car finance page to check your options.
