This is a collection of questions. I'm looking to get my first vehicle(I have my license and pretty much everything I need except the car itself and paperwork.), because I'm in a social desert of a suburb outside Madison, and I've realized I pretty much need a vehicle if I want to do something. I've determined I can afford the general maintenance/gas/insurance fees fairly easily (All together, I'm betting on it being sub $300, and that's aiming very high, grabbing random quotes using commonly suggested cheapass vehicles. A 2008 Honda Civic demands $60 a month insurance from Progressive, in example. The other $240 is gas/tune-ups/savings for paranoia when it explodes) Problem is, of course, while I can afford the maintenance, I kinda need the vehicle itself, so here goes the planning and saving phase. Proposed Budget: $5k or Lowest reasonable. New or Used: Used Body Style: Any Will Do How will you be using the car?: Semi Regular trips into the city, which is a 10-20 mile round trip endeavor, let's say twice a week. What aspects are most important to you? Reliability more than anything else. I've no certainty that my financial situation will improve. The general question is, what's the most responsibly cheap rear end piece of crap that will reliably run for quite some time? I understand going for the cheapest possible thing is foolish - what's the point of buying something that will instantly break down? Scanning over the last 10 pages, there are a few requests for the $5k range, but they have higher demands(commuting), and I'm wondering if my situation alters it any. My gut leans towards throw money together to get to the $5k mark and get an aforementioned Honda Civic or likewise, but I figure it can't hurt to ask.
