I think I need to find a car...

I am a huge fan of Toyota. Our experience has been that you can drive them forever. I sold my eight-year-old Camry with 225,000 miles on it and got over $3,000 for it a couple of years ago (bought a used Lexus which is also a Toyota product). I really hadn't put much money into the Camry beyond oil, tires and brakes (and the oil changes were only, on average, every 10,000 miles - I am not a maintenance hound).

We've had five different Toyota vehicles over the years and every one of them has been a winner.

You also have a co-worker who knows a thing or two about cars.

I don't think we live in the same car universe.

Yes, I like Toyotas.

How cheap? It depends. Maybe $5,000? Basically the amount of the bonus I'm getting this month. Usually the bonus goes for a major plumbing repair. Apparently my condo knows that I'm getting the extra money.

You should be able to get a pretty good used car for $5,000 cash. You have the upper hand if you don't need to finance. Good luck!
