I have five thousand dollars, I want to buy a car. Which cars would you recommend?

I want to buy a new car. I don't want a used car.

You won't find a new car for $5,000. But you can get some very good used cars that look and run like brand new.

These are generally considered the best used cars in every category, at least a good starting point.

Whatever you get have a mechanic check it out before you buy it. That will cost a few hundred dollars but will save you thousands of dollars later.

A new car for $5,000? Lol, that’s hilarious. The cheapest new car on the market right now in the US is the Mitsubishi Mirage, and the base model starts at around $16,000 or so. And that’s without the taxes and fees they’ll pile on top. It’s also one of the shittiest cars around.

Get a used car.

What you say is correct. You do get what you pay for, and new isn't always better. For instance, compare construction materials for new homes and old homes. Old homes will be much more durable.

Actually, though, if you want a $5K car, it is possible, but I'm not sure who would want to buy it. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yunD7gAjKA

Your two options are a Toyota camry or a Honda accord. Or if it's really a great deal, a Honda civic.

And buying new right now is a terrible idea. Like if you live in America for most brands it's probably never made less sense to buy a car new than right now.

What are your choices? What makes and models can you choose from in the range of $5,000.00?

[Christoff92]

It depends what you like. Here's a selection 😀

You will not get a new car for a measly $5,000! :D New cars cost over $30,000. That's what I paid for mine.

You won't find anything decent with $5000. What you'll wind up buying something used, something old, and something blue, as well as borrowed. It'll also need a lot of work put into it, and won't be worth the money. Trust me

You will need to get a loan or buy a used car since there are no new cars available in the US for $5000 or less.
If you want a reliable relatively inexpensive car I recommend a Toyota Corolla, but used or new it will cost more than $5000.

[OfMiceandMen]

Not sure if you can buy a new car for that much these days?

[exitseven]

There are no new cars that you can buy for $5000 unless they say Matchbox on them.

1. What’s wrong with used cars?
2. Get prequalled for a loan if it’s a new car.

New cars are what about 20k now so thatll be a decent deposit

[gorydetails]

I recommend you stop being stupid

[BarryLiverstone]

Toy remote controlled cars are in your budget

[In_Trance]
