23F, I make $53,000 a year gross. My rent is $925 with utilities, and I have student loan payments of $268/month.

Currently I’m looking at Toyotas, Mazdas, and Hondas, and also the occasional Subaru. I’m really just looking for a reliable car where I can go from Point A to Point B.

Car 1: Toyota I’ve seen (a used 2015 Toyota Camry SE w 90k miles) is $13,400.

Car 2: 2018 Subaru Forester with 103k miles from a private owner for $13,000

Car 3: a 2014 Mazda3 with 98k miles going for $12,998* on CarMax.

I feel clueless so appreciate any advice I can get. Thank you!!
