I am about to get Driver License within a week or so and Planning to buy a car ASAP but I dont have any idea about the car, Could you guys share the ideas regarding this.

I am looking for something  between 3000-5000 in a decent condition, good mileage and dont need to repair again and again, I heard foreign specially Japaneese Cars and good compare to American cars.
