Lowest price: 2010 Honda CR-V 4WD EX

The budget hook is clear on this one: a 2010 Honda CR-V 4WD 5dr EX listed at $4,997. It is Taffeta White, stock 89773N, with an automatic transmission, a 2.4 4 Cylinder Engine, and 199,919 miles. That mileage needs to be said up front. This is not the low-mile SUV lane; it is the low-price, 4WD Honda SUV lane.

For the right shopper, that may still be worth a serious look. If you need inexpensive utility for local driving around Lodi, Passaic, Hackensack, or the Route 46 corridor, the CR-V gives you a simple set of facts to evaluate in person: price under $5,000, 4WD, automatic, and a Honda SUV platform. The smart move is to inspect it, drive it, and decide whether the savings matter more than the mileage. If your top priority is low miles, this probably is not your first stop. If your top priority is budget, it belongs on the list.

Newer truck value: 2022 Ford F-150 STX 4WD

The 2022 Ford F-150 STX XL 4WD SuperCab 6.5'' Box is a different kind of tradeoff. It is much newer than many trucks in this price range, listed at $16,997, and it brings 4WD, an automatic transmission, Oxford White paint, stock 89748N, and a 5 Liter 8 Cylinder Engine. The mileage is 167,112 miles, so the value story only works if the buyer is comfortable with a newer truck that has been driven a lot.

That is exactly how it should be compared. A shopper who wants the lowest-mile truck possible may keep looking. A shopper who wants a 2022 F-150, 4WD, and a V8 at a price that stays under $17,000 may see the point quickly. We are not adding towing, payload, condition, or work claims here; the listed facts are strong enough on their own. Come look at the truck, look at the miles, and decide whether the model year and price line up with how you plan to use it.

Family-size AWD value: 2016 Mazda CX-9 Signature

The 2016 Mazda CX-9 AWD 4dr Signature sits in the middle of the budget conversation. It is listed at $14,997 with 95,045 miles, AWD, an automatic transmission, Machine Gray Metallic paint, stock 89742N, and a 2.5 4 Cylinder Engine. For Bergen County shoppers who want more room than a compact SUV but still want to stay around the $15,000 mark, this is the kind of listing that is worth comparing in person.

The mileage is not ultra-low, but it is far below the CR-V and F-150 in this group. The price is not the cheapest, but it buys you the larger AWD SUV lane. That makes the CX-9 a practical middle option for someone comparing space, AWD, price, and mileage instead of shopping by badge alone.

Sub-$10K AWD sedan: 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 4MATIC

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class 4dr Sdn CLA 250 4MATIC is the attention grabber for a different reason: AWD Mercedes sedan under $10,000. This one is listed at $9,997 with 91,421 miles, AWD, an automatic transmission, Mountain Gray Metallic paint, stock 89754N, and a 2 4 Cylinder Engine. It is a sedan, not an SUV, so it fits the buyer who wants an AWD car with a premium badge rather than extra SUV size.

The honest question is whether you would rather buy basic transportation, or an older AWD Mercedes sedan with the mileage clearly stated. There is no need to oversell it. The value is in the price point, the 4MATIC drivetrain, and the fact that it gives shoppers another route under $10,000.

Compare them on Route 46

The right pick depends on your tradeoff. Lowest price and 4WD SUV: look at the Honda CR-V. Newer 4WD truck with miles: look at the F-150. Larger AWD SUV around $15K: look at the Mazda CX-9. AWD sedan under $10K: look at the Mercedes CLA 250 4MATIC. AW Auto & Truck Wholesalers is at 23 US-46 West in Lodi, NJ. Verify availability first, then compare the choices in person.
