I'm just looking for transportation and am looking to spend $10,000.

I found a really nice 05 G35 sedan for $9,999 but it has 115k on it.

I also found 08-10 Ford Focuses for about $9-10,000 with only about 50-65k on the odometer.

Lastly I found 2008 Ford Escapes/ Mazda Tributes for about $9,999 as well with about 90k miles on them .

heck I'll even through these vehicles in the mix

07 Santa Fe

07 Mazda3 Hatch

I will commute 25 miles each way through stop and go traffic. Of course I want the most features & performance, but which should pick when you factor in reliability?

 

oh Mazda Tribute all the way, you can drive us all to soccer practice.

 

For DDing with a long commute? Probably the focus. Best mpg and lowest miles of the 3 so best suited if your gonna put more than average annual miles on a car. The Mazda can seat more ppl. The g is the most comfortable with the most power of the 3. Take your pick for what suits you most in a car for now and for the future.

 

Focus for sure if you are just looking for a commuter. They are fairly nice, get good mileage etc.
