Value-conscious automobile shoppers likely won’t find any new vehicles for less than $20,000, because every automaker selling cars in the United States has ceased production of cars priced under that threshold.

Mitsubishi ended production of the Mirage in 2024, though the company still had the model in inventory. The last unit was recently sold, KBB parent Cox Automotive reported on Feb. 10.
