Buying a car - Reference, Opinion, Etc.
In about a month I should have the money I need to hit the public buyer auction down here in Columbus. By then, I'll have about 2.6 thousand dollars to invest in a car.
I cannot finance this car, you have to pay by the next Thursday. With that in mind, the car I need has to be reliable and drive decently as well.
I need the opinions of forum members on what to look for within this price range and specifications. I know typically you'd be looking at a honda or toyota, but I wonder what else would work? I hear Mazda's are reliable, but I'm not sure how expensive they are, or how they drive.
Regardless, what I would like is to start a discussion on reliability/affordability for cars/trucks/suvs/whatever, it would benefit me greatly to hear a few names I could do some research on, because you apparently really need to know your cars before you hit one of these auctions.
