3k civic, unironically

All the civics I'm finding are over 10k. Where do you people find 3k ones? Show me your ways.

1. buy ~$3k car (private party) with probable low running cost, and get what you actually need, not "nice to have". remember, it's just temporary. you don't need to have the sunroof, or the silky smooth 6 cylinder option
2. follow scheduled maintenance
3. save several hundred dollars a month as if it were a car payment
4. a year later, or whenever, sell car, losing next to no money out side of gas, insurance, maintenance), buy newer car outright.
5. be happy

Alternatively, Put off step 4 until the cost of maintenance/repairs of your car (+ value of car prior to maintaince/repair) could buy something better, or no longer like the car.

Are you a Canadian faggot?

desu I was gonna shit on you and say just buy whatever car you want right now but this is really smart.

You learn to maintain a car, learn how a "lower end tier" car feels like, and then you get to spread your wings as a beautiful butterfly in a newer car that you choose with a greater depth of automotive knowledge to hone your decision. And you'll know how to repair it and not drive like an idiot.

You're looking for an econoshitbox. Won't go too wrong with Honda, but they're not what they used to be. I'd look at the Mazda and Toyota econoboxes first myself. Avoid Nissan, definitely avoid Chrysler, I would only consider GM or Ford if the deal was really good or I knew the maintenance history on the car.

All those econoboxes drive the same. They're all understeer FWD with hard thin tires. If you get into trouble driving one, stick to riding the bus.
