Frequently Asked Questions About Vehicles Under $20k in Onalaska, WI

Why should I buy a car under $20k from a dealer in Onalaska instead of a private seller?

Buying from Volkswagen La Crosse offers protection that a private seller on Craigslist cannot. Even for our budget inventory, we perform a safety inspection to ensure the brakes, tires, and lights are safe for Onalaska roads. Plus, we handle all the DMV title and registration paperwork, saving you a trip to the DMV office.

Do you have cars under $20,000 suitable for winter driving near the bluffs?

Yes. We understand the local terrain. While inventory changes daily, we frequently stock AWD vehicles under $20k, such as older Subaru Outbacks or Ford Escapes. Even our Front-Wheel Drive sedans in this price range are inspected to ensure their heating systems work efficiently for those cold mornings in Holmen.

Can I trade in an older, high-mileage car towards a purchase under $20k?

Absolutely. We accept trade-ins of all conditions. If you have an older vehicle to swap, we can apply its value directly to your purchase. This helps lower your sales tax and reduces the total amount you need to finance, making an under-$20k vehicle even more affordable.

Are maintenance costs high for used Volkswagens in this price range?

Not necessarily. While European cars have a reputation for higher costs, models like the VW Jetta and Golf are designed for durability. Our Onalaska service center offers competitive pricing on routine maintenance, and we use genuine VW parts to ensure longevity, helping you keep your cost of ownership manageable.
