I plugged the following details into autotrader.com:
Toyota - any make
Max price: $3k
Within 50 miles of 98310
Got 13 matches, anywhere from $1999 for a Camry, to $3k for a Prius.
Yes, they are all high mileage cars, but they are all 2000-2010 model years, which have cheap parts, are easier to fix, and cheap to insure.
“Make bad investments because doing this worked 40 years ago when the market was entirely different”
Tell you what, prove me wrong. Buy a thousand dollar car and make it three years with only oil changes and basic upkeep. I’ll wait for you to show me what you CAN do!
Bullshit, especially for non-100% gas cars like the Prius. You've got computers instead of carbs. Alloys instead of steelies, which are more expensive to maintain and replace. Unique headlights as opposed to sealed beam units you could buy at garages.

If it’s a 2000s car over 150k miles it’s a planned obsolescence money pit.
Pattern detected! Until you focus on what you CAN do and not what bothers you. You will have problems you can blame on everybody and everything else.

Mmm I'm sure they won't just cost another 5k in parts and labor within the year.
