Hey you car people!

Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from some generic car place, with a question about cars. Namely, I’m considering getting one. Now, I don’t want a new car, I want a used one that I can just drop a couple thousand on and be done with it. But there are a few problems there; A. I don’t know where I’d look B. I don’t know what to look for, or what some red flags might be C. I don’t know how to get an estimation on insurance I don’t want a piece of junk, but I also don’t care for anything particularly fancy. If I can get one of those nifty screens that show behind me when I’m going in reverse without that hiking up the price too much, that’d be ideal but not required. I will be using this car as little as is physically possible, I’d estimate only once, maybe twice a week, and the smaller the car is the better. So, point me in the right direction, car people. Where should I look, and what should I look for? But that’s all for now folks, jambuhbye!

  • Honda Accord/Civic. Probably late 90's through the early 2000's. Both of these tend to be reliable car options from Honda and can be had at incredibly cheap prices, regardless of year of the model, so long as you buy it with miles between 90k-200k. Most of these cars can still function all the way through 350k-400k miles and still be somewhat drivable. The Accord and Civic are not pretty but they both can get you from point A to point B and are cheap and reliable. If anything breaks you can likely buy the parts needed for cheap and fix it on your own or with a car buddy that knows maintenance. Change the oil every 1k-2k miles, do a transmission flush maybe every other year or as needed or if the shifter feels sticky if its an automatic. You can get all four tires for cheaper than a single truck tire for the occasional tire swap. Heroes live forever, but Honda's never die...
