- Kia Optima: A lot of midsize saloon for very little money, replaced by the K5 in 2021.
- Nissan Altima: The CVT has a mixed long-term record, so service history matters more than usual.
- Chevrolet Malibu: Roomy, cheap and thoroughly anonymous. Discontinued, so it will only get cheaper.
- Ford Fusion: Drives better than most midsize saloons and was discontinued anyway. Cheap now.
