Bit worried about the age, and about the safety rating. But my budget is 10k and cant seem to find anything else that doesnt have 100k+ miles on it. My next option would be a heavily used rav4 for closer to 10k. Any tips? Thanks. For the record, this is to be my daily driver for short commutes. No longer than an hour every once in a while.
Not with 40k original miles. You’re not paying $500 for any working car, and in good condition anymore. Those days are long gone.
Those days have a few years left. Once economy rises back up, old shitboxes will go back to being what they are on paper.
