- Hyundai/Kia: These Korean automakers have made significant strides in the U.S. market, offering affordable options with impressive fuel efficiency.
Local Car Manufacturers
Buying a car from a local manufacturer can be a cost-effective option, as you avoid additional import duties and taxes. However, this approach requires more research and planning to ensure you're getting the best possible vehicle for your needs.
- Ford: As one of America's oldest manufacturers, Ford has been producing cars in the U.S. since 1903.
- Dodge: Dodge is another iconic American brand that imports vehicles from Europe to meet local demand.
- Jeep: The Wrangler and other off-road-capable models are built locally by Jeep's factory in Toledo, Ohio.
