Pubic Transit. Can't really get reliable cheap cars in that range anymore post chip boom. Maybe look at used cars from car rental places.
You can definitely get decent used cars for $15K
Obviously used Toyota Corolla, Camry or rav4 but you can also look at a used Lexus too.
Also, used Hondas.
Older yes but recent ones, I’m not too sure of their reliability. Especially after the turbo oil dilution issue
Old mazda3, any year after 2013/14
Loosen the purse strings meta boy Leave the cheapo cars for poor like me
State farm! you guys are asking for too much insurance money for my nice car!
