I will sell you our #3 car cheap. 2011 Subaru Outback full of dents. People get out of the way when they see that POS coming down the road.

I have a 2001 Honda sedan as my 2nd car when I drive to Atlanta or any pro ball game instead of my nice vehicle. 9mm pistol is attached to a magnet under the steering wheel just in case I need it. Honda has over 345,000 miles on it. I'm the only owner in the history of the vehicle.

Talk to your insurance agent.
In high theft neighborhoods, a stick shift might be the way to go.
We found than a Cougar and Tbird were built on the same frame, similar costs but the Cougar would cost us $1000 less a year in insurance because Tbirds (same engine even) had more wrecks, etc. We would never have guessed that.

Nissan sentra is the best cheap car out there. Bar none if buying new. I think you can lease one pretty cheap. I would never lease. Seems like a waste of money to me

Big fan of the cheap Hyundai.

The Hyundai Accent is a cheap car that runs well and doesn’t look awful. If you look up the word “car” in the dictionary it’s basically a Hyundai Accent

Hyundai Accent. The resale with 20000 miles is almost the same price as new

After a bit of research I have come to the conclusion that the best car is the Toyota Corolla especially if buying a car built after 2013. Corolla has been on the road longer than any other car and if after 2013 it’s because Toyota is the only maker that builds a reliable CVT transmission
