Best and Worst vehicles under $6K

[Rain Man]

I'm shocked at the prices of used cars these days. I've seen a few notices from friends selling cars and I thought they were way out of line. Then I checked and they weren't.

Yeah, it sucks ass. Cars you used to pick up on the daily for 800-1200 bucks are now 4-5k. Most are in the "why the **** would I ever pay you that" category, then you realize the next group is really more like 8-10k that you used to pay 3-5 for and got a decent ride for a few years. 3 of our kids will be driving soon and I just don't want to pay much for their first car... ugh

Lack of supply.

The minute we drive a car off the lot, the other "side" of the dealership starts calling wanting to know if we'll sell it back to them or trade it in.

The frequency of that shit grinds my gears, but I also get a chuckle out of how brazen they can be about it...."I see you put 6000 miles on the car you paid in cash for just last year, do you want to trade that in at 40% of what you paid and then put yourself into a far ****ing worse situation by leasing a new car for roughly the cost of your mortgage???"
