I bought my car from a public action. A 1997 Black Chevy Malibu LS, with only 60,000 miles. When I saw that car I thought it was too good to be true. I got it for a little over 5 grand. It was worth every penny. The car has power everything and run likes a dream. Id recommend doing a carfax report on your premium choice. It helps to have an idea of the cars history. Mazdas are nice cars, but unreliable. I have had many friends with Mazdas and had constant problems with them. Hondas, Toyotas are great if you can get them. Edmunds.com is a great site to read up on the car history. i.e. recalls... As for those cars in the paper. I wouldn't touch them, I know you are on a tight budget. But my dad had a 96 dodge neon for a week (rental car), he said he would rather walk to work. I remember it having a problem with the transmission, keep in mind the car was new when my dad rented it. And any early 90's Ford has a life of about 10 years, I don't know many people who have them anymore and actually work. I'd stick to hondas for your budget. Cheap, reliable cars. If you need anymore advice on actioning and such let me know.
