Answer 1

The best two cars on the market today are the Toyota camry and the honda. I like the honda civic and toy. corolla because of the gas mileage. Honda accord is good too but I perfer the civic.  Even if you buy either with 100K miles on it it will last for another 150K miles as long as timing belt is changed, oil changed regularly, and you don't abuse it.  Good Luck

Answer 2

Buy a saturn or Hyundai Sonata, 2002 should work in your price range, and you wont have to buy a car with 100k miles on it

Answer 3

my friend just purchased a used audi a4 for about 5k at a car auction. I know theyre reliable nice cars, not to expensive, decently fast, okay on gas, and good crash rating so maybe you should check out a car like that. It handles pretty well too.
