2020 Buick encore! I got it w only a couple thousand miles on it and it’s been amazing the past 6 years!

I got a 2017 Mazda3 off Craigslist (my dad came with me) but I don’t recommend doing that. Long story short the person selling the car had no idea how a cashier’s check worked and tried to essentially hold us hostage until she could “verify the check cleared” after she already signed the title transfer. My dad ended up eventually yelling at her to get her husband out of what was now my car so we could go home.

2015 Honda Civic (nicer package) has a sunroof, touchscreen, right side and rearview camera and I’ve had mine for five years and only ever had to replace the battery once and the brakes once

I drive a Mini Cooper Countryman (bigger model) and love her, although you do have to stay on top of maintenance with Minis

My man just bought a car and it’s a 2011 with over 100k miles on it and was just under 19K and was a screaming deal. Used cars are insane rn and ur budget is not super realistic for a car newer than yours that will not have a ton of miles on it (and therefore the issues you already are dealing with)

I used to drive a 2025 Hybrid Corolla, and now I drive a used 2014 Corolla because I lost my job and totaled my car all in one month 😭

For those who are not familiar with cashier’s checks the way they work is you give the full amount of money to the bank and the bank writes the check as a way to verify that the money is real and won’t bounce once deposited. It was explained to the woman many times by both us and bank staff but she wouldn’t give up on “verifying” until my dad yelled at her.

omfg NOOO ive mostly been looking at cars listed at dealerships within 90mi of me but the cars on facebook marketplace are pretty tempting … if this happened to me i would scream LOL

Be careful about the marketplace ones too. If the deal sounds too good to be true it probably is.

And yeah I wanted to scream at her too but I figured a 50 yo man with a military background who had been calm up until that point was better at conveying just how stupid the situation was than me.

i live in the midwest lol both my family and friends have gotten newer used cars for $8k-11k. my sister got a 2014 jeep w less than 100k mi for $8000 & my friend got a 2016 corolla for $11k w 80k mi on it :-) i also dont need a car immediately so i’m willing to wait and keep looking for an option that does fit my budget!

I’m in the Midwest too! I know all areas are different tho. I wasn’t trying to be rude or anything just wanted to make sure you knew that it might be rough to find something! Best of luck!
