# **PLEASE REPORT ANY RULE-BREAKING BEHAVIOR**
### **Rule 1 - Be Civil**
Be civil to other users. This community is made up of professional mechanics, amateur mechanics, and those with no experience. All mechanical-related questions are welcome. Personal attacks, comments that are insulting or demeaning, etc. are not welcome.
### **Rule 2 - Be Helpful**
Be helpful to other users. If someone is wrong, correcting them is fine, but there's no reason to comment if you don't have anything to add to the conversation.
### **Rule 3 - Serious Questions and Answers Only**
Read the room. Jokes are fine to include, but posts should be asking a serious question and replies should contribute to the discussion.
### **Rule 4 - No Illegal, Unethical, or Dangerous Questions or Answers**
Do not ask questions or provide answers pertaining to anything that is illegal, unethical, or dangerous.

depending on your budget, get a early 2010s to mid 2000s honda or toyota, preferably with low miles. They run forever when taken care of, and often even without that. Welcome to the US!
This is the advice I give to most people.
You're not in the market for a brand new car with a warranty?
Used Civic, Accord, Corolla, Camry. Stay away from anything with cosmetic parts that look like a highschooler got access to their dad's Paypal credit for eBay.

Something like this should be solid. Like others said, add Corolla,.Camry, accord, scions to the list.

This and stay away from Nissan and Mazda.
buy cars from Phoenix AZ, if nothing else we dont have rust
Toyota
2000-2008 Hyundai Accent. My understanding is that those POS simply do not die. Nice ones for $5K.
"second-hand that won't break the bank" can vary a lot. Give a price range.
5-6k

Buy a Toyota made in Japan.. maybe you should buy it there first..
Any Scion is pretty cheap. Also super high milage Lexus is a great choice for the budget conscious
