<prompt> Human: Hi,So I realize it makes more sense for someone like me 22 yrs old, just about to start my first job to buy a used car rather than a new, inexpensive car.However, some of the used cars seem sketchy from ads online. On the other hand, the used cars at the dealer have like 60k miles and I can buy a new car for 6k more.. Im really lost and I have nobody to ask... except you guys. You helped me a lot in my last post so I hope you forgive my ignorance and help me again.I need to buy a car within a month to commute 60 miles a day sometimes more if I have to travel or if I go on a trip on the weekend. My original budget was 22k for a new car but since Im looking for a decent used car I figure Ill spend no more than 13k... How do I do this? When you buy a used car, how do you find one that is in decent shape? What is the max of miles I should look for?  <response>: It sounds to me like that particular 5 year old car is overpriced. This isnt uncommon. Check the kbb value of the car, as well as other postings for similar cars. Also, just because the market decides that a car is worth X, doesnt mean that its worth X to you.Another thing to keep in mind is that dealers very often overprice used cars. If you do some research and decide that the 5 year old car is worth 12k to you then go in and make an offer. Just make sure you are willing to walk away. Dont get so set on having that particular car that you end up paying more than you want. If your idea of what its worth and the dealership idea of what its worth dont match up then dont buy the car.
