Never bought a car for more than 2k, and never had any problems. They’re indeed usually over 100k miles, but definitely not in rough shape. In fact, my first car was under a grand, and it was built like a tank. I was not kind to that thing, and the only thing that killed it in the end was a head on collision (everyone was okay, lady got some expensive driving lesson that day).
I go for older cars because they tend to actually be more reliable, and the plus side is they’re cheaper.
I’m presuming “ICE” means internal combustion engine?
- Kirby64 3y agoI just parsed the classifieds and I don't know where you're finding these reliable cars for under 2 grand. The only thing I see in the sub $2k price range are cars that need engines, cars with >200k miles and suspiciously few details on running history, or cars that are literally wrecked. I wouldn't trust any of those cars to be reliable. There's some cars that look like they're in 'decent' condition under $5k, but they again have >150k miles almost universally. Likely in need of some pretty expensive maintenance somewhat soon at that mileage. I bought a car for $2k that was decent and <100k miles around 10 years ago, but those days are long over as far as I can tell. And yes, ICE = internal combustion engine.
