Current Events > how cheap can you get a decent, reliable car for?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i'm thinking japanese, made within the last 5~10 years, just to use as your daily commuter/beater

(i know nothing about cars)

---

I would say around $2k-$5k

Find something good and haggle 'em down

Get a nice Hyundai for around $5,000. 2012, no accidents, basic features, 100,000 miles, 30 mpg.

prob like 4 or 5k

---

oh wow, yeah, i can definitely afford that

are these private sale ranges, though, or through a dealership (or both)?

---

Both, at dealerships if you wait at the end of the month they'll be desperate to get rid of old stock so you can get cars for cheaper. Especially at the beggining of the new year

you'll probably have better luck looking at private sales at that price point, dealerships will have too much markup

---

facebook marketplace has hundreds of cars for dirt cheap.

Dealerships are safer in case you get a lemon. You can always check out Carmax to see what they have to offer.

At my dealership, all sales were final.
