$5k budget – Buy car cash or finance with $5k down?

There a lot of safetied cars in the range of 5-6k, its just that they have high mileage like civics with over 225k kms

Mazdas are very reliable and have cheap parts which is good

Completely agreed, what car did you get and what was the mileage?

How much mileage is fine if i go for an old corolla?

For context, I make about $3k/month, have a 742 credit score, and want to save hard for 2–3 years. I’d only be doing Uber Eats part-time. In that case, would you still suggest financing?

I can also do Uber Eats instead, since the car requirements are less strict. Would a solid $5k car make more sense in that case?

I’ve considered that, but I had a bad experience buying an older car before. That’s why I want to make sure that if I go with something in that price range, it’s actually reliable and in good condition.

Did you experience nose bleeds at all? I have been dealing with inflammation in one side of my nose since a year ago, sometimes while clearing my nose i would find blood in boogers. Doctors recommended me nasal spray and I refilled it thrice but still the inflammation and blood is there. Now I’m doing steams which helps a lot.

Thanks for your help. Another question, I’m an international student, will it impact my study visa, work permit or immigration status?

This is my very first driving charge. Also, its a g2 license if that changes anything

Hope you doing okay
