this mfer.. XD

yes i am in a budget. new wise im looking at the versa note and honda fit. i found a couple fits i could buy for only $7k big issue is they are manual. idk how to drive manual. i could learn and imo would be a great way to learn i would assume for future use. otherwise the CVT's used cost just as much as a new one found a couple around like $10-12k with 30k miles a new one will run about $17k i believe.
You're looking at 10-12K cars with less than 1K in the bank?
Consider insurance, fuel, maintenance, unforseeables etc...
The bottom line is going to be considerably bigger than you're anticipating I'm guessing.

I'm telling yah electric trike $600....does 20mph, no gas, no oil, no insurance, no license required. Range is only limited by the size of the battery. Plug it in and charge anywhere.

im looking at options not to purchase asap. i do factor in all that thus why i was asking for serious suggestions for used cars something reliable yet cheap that i could purchase sooner rather then later and fix up on my own to learn.

i don't plan to buy until next year at the least just due to maintenance and all that i want a good cushion to fall back on. not trying to buy one with little money to none to spare

Something like a 10- to 12-year-old Toyota Yaris, maybe
I'd have recommended an old VW Beetle, but they've gone from ugly ducklings to classics. Very home-wrenchable.

true i was mainly speaking of the older models. im doing some research rn about depreciation and if it's worth buying used with what i'd consider a shit load of miles like 100k+
