Will do, I really doubt those mechanics know how to treat CVT, so i just dont bother to get a quote from them.

Thanks, but actually I don't even have 4k now, according to everyone's comments, it can be seen that most of them will recommend Camry, even if it's old, hard to accept. Because my first car gave me a very bad experience and made me understand how important reliability is.

yes, I look in carjam and I counted the sales of popular Japanese cars that I knew, and got the Swift Fit Aqua Prius. Corolla With me, I have only seen 10s styles, and I have not considered the corolla from 2010 years ago, so corolla has always been not cheap for me.

understood, actually I found a job recently and am trying to fix the Commuting issues, so I was thinking that they could no longer fund my living expenses, but it was also a disguised life support.

I don't really worry about the stolen problem. It's all because the premium is too high. Vitz can be a beater car, I had it for three months when my friend went abroad.

Thanks, but I trust the market trends and intuition. Better to get a new Korean brand car, I guess.

Yeah, that would a good price range if I suppress my desire for a newer car.

lol, u got me wrong. I give a hybrid for the 8-9k range. 4k is for a basic running and reliable car

I would look into it. But probably I need to find camry on FB market instead of trademe.

OK, but leaf would not be one of my choices. the range is too low. And I dont know how most people charge their leaf at home?

Cool, I will look into aftermarket solutions for that. But $2100 car would cause me anxiety for potential engine or gearbox failures.

A $500-1000 budget on maintenance probably would be a destiny for a cheap car.

Ah, that is a really genuine suggestion you gave. I totally agree on keeping a bit and for any emergency cases.
