Why buy a used car when you can get a new one for the same price and get a better rate plus warranty?

Man, there are no less than 30 such cars in and around central Mississippi. You should be able to pick up something in the 2020 -2024 model years for that.

Mazda CX-50 new. Likely can find for $30k if you do enough bargaining and research.

I don't know the details but if he let a Hyundai burn up I'd be hesitant to spend more then 10k. Modern cars don't just burn up unless neglected, imo.

Don’t get married to a specific car. We bought our kid a 2022 Camry SE for around 20k all in. Great car, great miles, she’s set until she gets her first big job or marries some rich lawyer. She’s 17 so no pics baws.

2025 Hyundai Tucson with less than 30k miles. Pay a dealer $500 to do the paperwork to buy it wholesale for less than $25k from Enterprise. Your welcome.

Go to cars.com and put in the different options etc you are looking for. You can even put in the distance you’re willing to travel.

Get him a used Subaru. It’ll guarantee that he won’t knock up any girls.
