I'm in the market for a used car for less than 10-12K with an automatic transmission, but I really am not sure what to look for. I've looked into some relatively late-model Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, and Mazdas, as well as older BMWs and Mercedes, but the likely repair costs are a tad too high for the latter two. American build quality is supposedly a mixed bag, so I'm a little leery of buying American. I'm leaning towards a Honda because I've heard that they last forever, but I'm still far from sure. Any advice would be appreciated.
I can't spend more than $12K since I'm only a student with a part-time job. Safety is the primary consideration, followed by sportiness and then fuel economy. A zippy car would be a nice plus, though.
Thanks
