So keep looking???
Ebay. Though mileage and age doesn't matter as much as being well maintained and a reliable car.
i think you have to buy an older car like '95 or something like that for 3 to 4 thousand only. i don't think there are really much '00 cars for 3 to 4 either but then again......??? i don't know much.
NEVER EVER EVER buy a car on ebay without inspecting it first. make sure you know what too look at in a used car its not just age and mileage. if you want to buy a car that is fairly new (under 5 years old) and you see the price tag is quite low (3-4 Gs) be very wary about them. when attempting to purchase any used car i suggest you look for the following. Look at the under belly of the car if you see any part of the car that looks damp (oil leaks, coolant leaks, ect..). Also look at the oil level if it is too low or too high the car might have a blown head gasket (cost about 2 grand to repair). if you see the oil level is too low or too high look into the coolant tank if you see the coolant has a darkish brown color then the car definatley has a blown head gasket DONT BUY THAT CAR!. Next thing turn on the engine and rev it up high (not redline but close) then look under the car if you see anything dripping take note of it. when test driving the car make sure you turn off the radio and check for any strange nosies, also notice how the car shifts, if it jerks in shifting or makes strange noises while shifting then dont buy the car transmission repairs are very expensive. if you look out for these issues you have a much better chance of purchasing a a good used car that will not give you much trouble in the future. i recommend you look for grandma cars they are the absolute best used cars can buy. Good luck!
