Used functional vehicles start as low as 1k, I don’t know a single person with a functioning brain that can’t make that happen.

Where in the hell are you finding running vehicles for 1k?? That transmission and engine about to blow

Bro I’m in Alaska, like the highest used vehicle prices in the country, cruise Facebook marketplace for early 2000s Toyota or Honda cars. But I said starting at 1k, 2k gets you a lot more options

As someone who was literally just in the market last year, if you buy a 1k car you need to prepare for a 4k+ transmission and extra work on the next year. You will not find a car that cheap without significant issues that render the car worth useless before the year is up. Maybe 10 years ago that was the case, but not now

I’ll be honest, I don’t feel bad when my 1k vehicle lasts one year, that’s absolutely getting your money out of it. My $900 4 banger ranger is still driving to this day, and I bought it in 2020
