I will vote for certified Toyota Corolla or Camry for a Peace of mind. Since u have to haggle for 9K with a private party. Add 2-3 K on your budget and u be taken care of for 5-6 years. Or look for Brand new Elantra with all bell and whistles and 5 star safety rating that will go for 10 years. I have driven car from mustang, Japanese to Koreans. One think I tell you these newer cars are made better. You can’t go wrong with fusion either. Stay off fiesta, Chevy sedans and Nissans. They all have engines and tranny problems.if u need need help in deciding just send me pm here.
