2011 cars to buy right now

NADAguides recently released its 2011 Second Quarter Car Buyers Market Report, which lists six vehicles that consumers should  consider buying right now.

The list contains vehicles that are priced competitively, come with incentives and rebates, have a low first-year depreciation rate and maintain their value long-term better than other cars. Additionally, the vehicles included in the list all have no current supply constraints and should be available on dealer lots. They could stand in as a substitute for some Japanese models, which are have been tough to find since the March earthquake and tsunami disrupted supplies.

The cars on this list may not be your first choice, or show up on your wish-list at all. But we think they are certainly worth a test drive. After all, according to NADAguides, they are probably the best value out there right now.
