come on, for a couple of K you can choose from loads of reliable cars that are cheap in maintanance etc. You never bought a car before? You just need a little experience. Go with someone who knows cars a bit. Always check the bottom of older cars, when its at a garage always let them put it on the bridge to check if the exhaust system and bottom isnt completely full of rust. Also check if the engine isnt too much wet from oil etc, look into it when its on the bridge & when u popped the hood you can check if it isnt leaking too much from the cylinder head. Make a list of all things to check, also for the test drive, check everything (buttons, electricity, lights, etc). I could list all things to check but just bring someone who knows cars. Look at buying a first 2nd hand car as a learning experience, once you bought more cars you dont need to bring anyone anymore because you now know by then what points you should look at.
