re: What sort of cheap car should I get?

I am in the market for a cheap used vehicle for my kid in the next few years so I've been looking around.

I cannot believe what old Toyotas and Hondas are going for with 150k+ miles on them. I've got a bad case of sticker shock and am gonna have to get lucky or plan this very well over the next couple years.

No kidding. I have an 01 Camry with 130k. It was my mom's car and I kept it when she passed. Most of those miles are mine. I see similar vintage Camry's going for $6k...for a 21-year-old car? It's a pretty boring car, but it rides decent, gets decent mileage, and is very dependable.
