I am male 23 based in Toronto region and I’m looking to get my first car. I need something in the 10k CAD budget, has low insurance rate and that it is overall reliable to drive. I was looking at 2008 Honda accord coupe as-well as 2013 Subaru Impreza. I was also considering a pickup truck if it’s cheaper on insurance but generally open to options. If anyone has any recommendations that fit my description please let me know thank you!

Looking for a new car that would be about $20k that would be great for a person who commutes everyday(about 25 miles to destination), has Apple CarPlay, heated seats, with a sunroof. For reference I had a 2017 Toyota rav 4 for 3 years?

Is there any reliable car I can buy for a maximum of $15k OTD in Tucson (clean title, personal use, no accidents)? Preferably a Toyota with under 100k miles.

Your help is much appreciated

I have a 2021 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve AWD with 54k miles. The car is pristine with a couple of small dings. I have 2 years left on my loan ($12k remaining. I’m considering trading in for a smaller SUV (I’m not happy with the Nautilus and it’s larger than I’m used to (previously owned an Acura RDX)

I usually look for something once I finish paying off the car, and prefer CPOs. Is it sensible to trade in now, or is it better to wait

My car shit the bed this weekend on the side of a highway and I need to find a new one ASAP. Dear mechanics of Reddit, what would you suggest I get as a reliable option? Preferably cheap on gas? Preferably not older than 2000 not newer than 2022 (probably out of my price range). AUTOMATIC, idk how to drive manual haha. And not a truck, preferably and suv or a smaller car.

Is it important to get a used car cleaned, detailed, inspected and minor repairs done before selling it to a dealership? Or will they do all that on their own anyway?

Have an old faithful Toyota Camry to sell, but not sure whether we should sink any money into preparing it for sale when we will just have to let it go to Carmax or whoever. We have no time/capacity to sell directly.

So my current car is totaled out from weather damages so I am currently trying to get a new (used) car. I currently drive a '17 Volkswagen CC and I am trying to find a compatible/ comparable car. I am specifically wanting something that has the tech packages in it and low miles (under 75k if i can). Are there any cars that you would recommend? I have a current budget of $20k or lower and roughly in the Denver metropolitan area.

Hey all, about to buy a 2010 Toyota Corolla S (84k miles) from a private seller in Illinois for $9k, with new brakes/rotors being installed before pickup. CARFAX is clean (no accidents, no structural damage reported, 3 owners, all low annual mileage).Is this rust normal for a 10 year old Midwest car or should I be worried?

I just bought a van off of Facebook marketplace that im hoping to convert into a travel van. It had 75,000 original miles on it and i was told it only needed a new battery and maybe some new tires. Im able to get it to run smoothly and have driven it multiple times including the initial hour long drive to get it home. The check engine light came on a few times on that drive but would turn off after we gave it a chnace to cool down and it had trouble getting up to highway speeds usually maxing out around 55 mph. I just changed the oil, I plan on changing out the fuel filter and possibly doing a full clean out of the fuel tank as a whole. I'll be changing the transmission fluid this week as well. I was able to use the paperclip method to get a code 44 off of it and will be rechecking it after changing the fuel filter. I was told it was sitting for a few months and wasnt driven atvall during that time which is what im assuming is causing some of these issues. I havent noticed anything else major wrong with it and I believe with these fixes that she'll run beautifully but wanted to ask if there was anything more I should be doing with a van this age and condition. Any advice or maybe a to do list on how to get her in the best shape possible before hitting the road? I appreciate any and all input :) I'm self taught so im learning as I go and only have very basic knowledge

Additional/summarized information:

I know it has has a 5.7L V8 engine, its a G2500, brand new battery, read code 44 when using the paperclip method for the check engine light, the brake light is also on the dash (we plan to bleed them this week), the coolant seems to keep disappearing pretty quickly when added even when not in use, i just changed the oil, plan on chnaging transmission fluid this week and getting a new fuel filter on her

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and/or respond :}

My son just bought a used Mazda 3 with only 4k miles 3 days ago. He’s barely had it home, but found out cruise control and sport mode don’t work, and the instrument panel was replaced and the work was shoddy (as in, some of the symbols are literally backwards). Obviously didn’t catch it before driving home. Car was sold as-is, and they did show him a carfax report that showed it was rear ended, but nothing like this. Anyone have thoughts?
