Smarter Driver: What are the safest old cars for teens?
[MUSIC]
16 to 19 year olds have the highest rate of car accidents of all drivers and it's the number one most likely way for a teen to die.
The insurance institute of highway safety's just done something they've never done before.
Issued a list of the safest cars that are older, used models.
Substantially with first cars and teens in mind.
A 2010 Saab 95 would be an obvious choice, though not the cheapest.
That's where a 2006 Kia Sedona might help.
Or a highly devalued 2005 Mercedes C Class.
[NOISE] It pays to double check this IIHS list before buying a used, affordable first car.
