The Top 10 Cheapest Cars In The World||The cheapest car on sale in the US today is the Nissan Versa at $12,780. That's a good deal, but the following ten were even cheaper when they hit the market. These are budget cars at their best.
All of the prices listed are adjusted for inflation and listed in 2013 dollars.
10.) Morris Minor
You could have it for: $12,500
The Morris was cheap, but not that cheap. What's remarkable about that price is that when the bean counters actually looked into the numbers after the merger into British Leyland was complete in 1968, they realized BMC lost 9 pounds ($168 today) on every car they sold.
That's sort of okay if the product in question is a halo car like the Lexus LFA or the Bugatti Veyron, but not quite right for a mass-produced economy car.
9.) Daihatsu Ayla
You can have it for: $6,386
Indonesians need some cheap transportation. What's known elsewhere as the Toyota Agya is exactly that, powered by a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder with an automatic shifter as an option. No thrills in sight.
8.) Fiat 500 Topolino
You could have it for: $5,434
This was the car from, during and until a decade after WW2 for the Italian masses. They sold 520,000.
7.) Peel P50
You could have it for: $4,420
The greatest city car on the planet.
6.) Ford Model T
5.) Zaporozhec
You could have it for: $3,551
Or you could keep your money and enjoy a careful life a little longer.
4.) Eshelman ASC
You could have it for: $3,455
Hey, it seats two!
3.) Banner Boy Buckboard
You could have it for: $3,152
The Ariel Atom of the time.
2.) Tata Nano
You can have it for: $2,598
The "world's cheapest car" is only a second on this list. That's how thorough we are.
