Ok so I need to get a car by Sept 2nd for college since i will be commuting and can't use pub transportation (it's a 30 min drive and takes 4 hrs on pub trans, not even joking, it's a roundabout route) I want to get something that's good on gas and verrrry low maintaniance b/c I am lazy :) It has to survive until I get my first job in about 3 yrs. I don't care if it looks like a box as long as it has those 3 qualities. I will have about $4000 saved by that point. What models, makes, etc. would you suggest? Any other advice would be great too. I"m prob going to look mostly on craigslist and in the pennysaver mag.
Also, how many miles should the car have on it to last 3+ yrs? I will be using it to drive 20 mins each way 5 days a wk and for hanging out w/ friends 45 mins away in summer every wkend, & nothing else.
