Best and Worst vehicles under $6K
What are the darlings of the sub-$6,000 car market? What are the tempting stinkers?

My household knows that when I need knowledge & wisdom, with a side-salad of snark & buffoonery, I seek if from you all.

"I'll ask Chiefs Planet"

Child No. 3 had a 2005 Prius just go belly up. Main battery, we'll probably pay to find the bad cells to make it more sellable. So now they're in the market for a vehicle.

I used to be current in my "No subarus after 200k" and "No Buick Encores with the Ecotech" and "No Jeeps ever" type of 'wisdom', but I'm out of date. I know it's always a tradeoff between condition and miles and reliability.

I need your help.

Unfortunately this is what we've found. It's brutal trying to get a car for a teenager these days. I don't have much advise other than to suggest you add Nissan Altimas to your list of cars to stay away from.

Find the vehicle then look it up. Depends on engine and transmission choice on some. There are cars where automatics are the better option. Wild

Mercury Grand Marquis in the RWD platform with V8

Toyota Corolla and Honda Accord. I’m a GM guy but those are some good vehicles. I will post some screw tube I mean YouTube videos if you want.

Also cross check potential buys on cars.com and use their user ratings as a benchmark. Me personally If it’s not 4.3 4.4 4.5 stars out of 5 I say screw it and move on to the next one. Vehicles are dime a dozen. You’re looking for practical and reliable from the looks of it. Also lots of vehicles on cars.com with free carfax. You get to check service and maintenance intervals and hopefully the prior owner kept it up and running. Or they didn’t because lots of rotten shits these days don’t even change the oil once a year. Carfax has its own app and website for searches. Edmonds as mentioned is good. Repair pal website is a good resource for your toolbox

I won't buy anything besides a Toyota or a Honda...have always had the best luck with gas powered models and trust the more than EV or most Hybrid.
