Cant go wrong w/Honda. 4 banger Accord will be the wave.

If you can deal with so-so gas mileage u cant go wrong w/a Maxima. Def wont have less than 30K miles but that shyt dont matter breh. How long u lookin to keep it? A well maintained car will go to 300K.

I'd say around 5 years as my primary at the least.

Buy a honda. Then the 30k mileage standard is irrelevant. They'll run forever with no work.

I have a 2011 accord ex-l v6. Everything accept navi. 39k miles. I bet I could trade it for around 15k. So for 10-13k, you should be able to find something close (4 cyl or less options).

Buy that, then never worry about a car again. I'm not going to.

Here's some solid advice I give everyone when they ask me this question and that is to save another 10k.

Push your budget a tad bit to 12-14k range and you will have a bigger option of cars with warranty. Dealership offering payment options up to 72 months.Hyundai makes very good cars with great gas mileage. A Sonata are great on the road and highway or you can check out a Hyundai Elantra, which is cheaper than a Sonata and will bring you closer to your budget. Make sure you get a car with less than 50k to increase your chances to get a loan from a bank.

2007 Honda Accord, it's probably gonna have 70k+ miles on it but you can get a V6 with a couple of extras and stay under 10k. Those cars run forever.
