And This.
Depending on what you want, a early 00's Corolla, Camry, or even Tacoma for that matter will get you by. You can also get a late 90's 4runner.
You can also get a honda or acura. Stay away from the v6 acuras and the older luxury acuras. Also stay away from a civic or integra if you live in a high theft area. If you do live in an area like that, make sure that the civic or integra is automatic so a thief wont even bother. The automatics last very a long too, 200k+. Mitsu's Nissan's etc are fine too, as long as they are not luxurious and have 123213 options.
Personally, i would stay away from anything german and in the mid90's. I have seen several friends struggle with their car right as soon as they buy it. If you were working with more money, sure. But your not so just get something decent and reliable.

Not with all. You are correct for dealers auctions, but there are also public auctions. |
Yeah there are public auctions, but those rarely have something in the 5k range. 500 range yeah, but 5k not really.
The majority of those auctions are tow/impound auctions, they are there because the owner doesn't want to pay the 1000 to get a car that's only worth 1500 dollars.
