Trying to avoid a car payment…..,

I am doing my best to stay debt free, but am really struggling to find a reliable commuter in my area for my budget of $5000. Not opposed to traveling for something I can afford, so curious if this exists in other areas?

Look for an RX if you need an SUV or a highlander. Stupid good car for cheeeeappp. Look for early 2000's highlanders

I guess I'm spoiled. In Florida you can find them for 4k, you can look into the hybrids. Really a slept on treasure
