    Pondering buying an old car in case I have to drive into the city - can’t park a large car to save myself. How many km is too many ? Looking at $5k or less. No Uber or taxi where I live. Was $145 to book a private car to get into the cbd a few weeks ago. (Was emergency medical)

      I’d look for an old Japanese beater. Was in a pinch a couple of years back and bought an '04 Hyundai Acccent for $4k with 200k on the ODO and that thing is still putting along. I think it’s shat out twice since I’ve had it, one was me being lazy changing the oil (I do it myself), and the other time it was the battery.

      I’d say you could go up to 300km for good 00s era Japanese cars but beyond that idk
