I bought a 10 year old used car last year and it broke down right away and I was out of $5000.

I think it is better to buy a newer car, but how old do you think it should be ？

Also, what make of car is better ？

The color must be white or black, thinking about selling it next.

I knew it ！
I would like a new affordable Toyota ？
Corolla, for example.

That would be your choice.
I have heard that the Corolla is the #1 car whose parts are stolen because it is too popular
.

Not only Toyota but also Mazda and Subaru are popular.
It might be a good idea to test drive various cars and decide.

Whether new or used,
if you don't know anything about cars,
you will be looked down upon, and you may be offered
a deal.
It would be a good idea to do your own research
first to find out which type of car is best for you.
Please take it as a lesson that you paid $5,000 to get an inferior car
.
May you find a good car.

Hawaii Five-O

To begin with, in the US, where the used car market is huge, ＄ cars under 10000 don't last long.
Unless you buy one in good condition from a private individual.
＄ If you are paying only ＄ 5000, not even 5000, it's not a bad car. Japanese people assume too much about the price of a car in the Japanese sense, but you should abandon that idea.
The store is not deceiving you.
It is just that Japanese people do not understand American used cars. As you say, it is best to go with someone who knows cars when buying a car.

>>I grew up in Hawaii

I just thought so because I fix my car myself to some extent. If you don't fix it, I guess it's not expensive even if it's under $1000.
I forgot to write there. I used to drive a $1000 car for 6-7 years.
Maintenance is what the car is all about.
