Stratus Neon

When buying a used car is it better to get an older, better brand or a newer, but maybe lower quality model?

I have $7-10,000 to spend on a car. I know that won’t buy me the most glamourous car but it should buy me something comfortable. For that price, I can get Benz, Honda, BMW, or Volkswagen if I get one that is 7-9 years old with around 100,000 miles on it. I could also afford to get a much newer car with less miles if I choose something like a Neon, Focus, Stratus, or PT Cruiser. So, which is the better choice? Is it better to have something newer and cheaper or older but better quality?

Here’s what I suggest you buy if your on a budget and don’t want to waste money on costly maintainence:

Camry 00-Up with under 60k
Corolla 98-up under 60k
Accord 98-up (4cyl) under 60k
Civic 96-up EX/LX Model under 60k
Integra 98-up under 60k
RSX 02-up under 60k
Sentra, Maxima 01-up Under 60k

All of these cars have a very high reliability rating, all of them do excel on gas milage and have great resale values. And everyone could be had for under 10k if you search with no where near 100k miles. Drive safe!
