Hi,
I am looking at getting my first car around the Manassas VA area with a maximum budget of 8k. Does anyone have pointers to cool websites k could get very affordable but reliable used cars? I prefer Honda, Toyota, Acura, Lexus, Mazda or Subaru. Thanks for the response 🙏

Whatever you do make sure you buy a warranty from a third party, such as Endurance. For $9k, you’re looking at an older car that is likely out of warranty.

Absolutely nobody should buy a warranty on a $9k car lol.

Whatever you find, get a pre purchase inspection before you negotiate. If you need recommendations for ppi shops, let me know here.

I read your post regarding the issue with your car. Guys, I can tell you definitely this the best option before buying any vehicle. Since this is the second most expensive stuff we buy in our life after a house.
I am myself a PPI and Mechanical inspector based in Miami, Florida. Working for more than 3 years for Lemon Squad Team. I have done inspection for a lot of companies, Car Guru, Cars.com, CarMax, Carvana ect...
Don't be afraid to invest some bucks for the inspection it will save you a lot of troubles.
Send me message if you need anything at bluedropsauto@gmail.com.

Avoid Alpha Motorsports (also in Manassas, VA) at all costs, they misrepresent salvage auction vehicles and sell faulty cars and lemons. Either than that, get a third party PPI for whichever car you end up choosing

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
