What does the cheapest of the SUVs under $30,000 cost?

The lowest-priced one is $7,972 today. This list ranks by the records, not by price; the full list sorts by price when you want to start from the cheapest.

How is this list ranked?

By the facts in each car's records, the same ones its highlights show: a great or good deal rating against our own inventory, no accidents reported, low miles for its age, one owner, factory warranty left, a clean title, a price drop, certification. Ties go to the car with fewer miles, then the lower price. Nobody pays to appear.
