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!

Go for a Japanese vehicle if you don’t want to worry about any issues. Can’t really go wrong with a relatively newish Toyota or Honda. Most of the more modern cars come standard with reverse cameras and some other bells and whistles. Don’t get roped in to dealers pushing for extended warranties or other ridiculous coverage options they try and fold in, unless it’s super cheap and doesn’t affect your budget much per month. Check out cargurus and Kelly blue book to get an average price point that people are paying for in your area. You should also use KBB to check for trade prices if you’re also trading a car in. Don’t trust what the first couple of places you check. They’re all in to make a profit off of you. Have fun, and trust in YOUR knowledge of the car you research.
