Used Cars for Sale Under $26,000

The wagon, an alternative to the SUV under $26,000

At this budget, you sometimes come across wagons, also called estates. This format, more discreet than the SUV, still offers plenty of cargo space while keeping the low, settled drive of a sedan. For the buyer who wants versatility without necessarily moving to an SUV, it is an option worth considering.

What a wagon offers versus a sedan or an SUV

The wagon holds a particular place between the sedan and the SUV:

• Large cargo space: the roof extending rearward creates a roomy trunk, reached through a tailgate.
• Sedan-like driving: a lower centre of gravity than an SUV, settled road manners and often contained fuel use.
• All-wheel drive available: several wagons offer it, for traction without an SUV's footprint.
• A more discreet format: a lower silhouette, easier to park and manoeuvre.

The wagon remains a less common format than the SUV, so the models available vary with inventory. The search filters help you spot this body style.

Checking a used wagon

As with any vehicle, history and condition come first. Pay attention to the tailgate mechanism, the state of the cargo area and, if the vehicle is all-wheel drive, the drivetrain. Every vehicle is presented with its Carfax report, which traces previous owners, recorded servicing and reported accidents, and goes through the 160-point inspection performed by our technicians. An advisor can go through these references with you for a specific vehicle.
