DETROIT -

AOL Autos recently picked 11 used sedans the company believes are the best available for below $15,000.

Ranging from the 2010 model-year back to 2004, this list has a representation from most major manufacturers — including a unit from Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Nissan and Toyota.

“Looking for a sedan? It’s amazing how many choices there are on the market,” offered Chris Shunk, a correspondent for AOL Autos.

“Whether you’re interested in efficiency, safety, style, reliability or luxury amenities, there’s something that fits the bill,” Shunk continued. “And if you just want an appliance to get you to work and back, the sedan market is rife with possibilities.”
