Looking for my first car. Will be graduating soon, so I don't feel like investing a lot of money into it. But at the same time, I wouldn't mind taking out a small loan for a car I can sell later to use as down payment for a better/newer car (once I have a full time job and whatnot). ~$5000-7000 range if the car is really worth it at max.

If any of you have a toyota/honda between 100k-135k miles within the $2000 range, that'd be the kind of car I'd ideally start looking at. Yes, those do exist...just have to keep an eye out for them. Was a tad slow at picking up the 98 accord for $1200 on Craigslist today (120k miles) from a guy that was moving. Oh well. Just means something better is out there!

It's tough car searching without a car at all times.

Just let me know what you guys have. And I'll consider. Unfortunately, I don't have time to take a week off to spend up north in jersey where it seems the cars are much cheaper (yes I know you have to worry about rust, but in general...market price is lower there).

Thanks!

Have you tried Elite Auto Sales on S. Saunders? Got a Subaru there for $3500 and it's had minimal problems.
