At this price you're shopping 15-20+ year old vehicles with 150,000 to 200,000+ miles. Honda Civics, Toyota Corollas, and Nissan Altimas show up here because they're built to run well past 200,000 miles without major work. You'll also see Ford Fusions, Hyundai Elantras, and older Chevrolet pickups. These are basic transportation - not pretty, not loaded with features, but functional. The key is buying from a dealer who has inspected the vehicle and can hand you a clean title.
A car in this range from a 828 dealer comes with NC title transfer, proper documentation, and a business that exists tomorrow if something goes wrong. Most of these dealers also offer in-house financing for buyers whose credit makes bank loans difficult. If you're a first-time buyer, a student, or someone rebuilding after a setback, this is where to start.
