My advice is to TAKE YOUR TIME! The trick to finding a good clean car for a decent price is to not be in a hurry to buy. If your parents are going to let you use their car even better. I personally have had great luck with Honda/Acura. My 96 Integra was easily the best handling front drive car I’ve ever driven. I still kick myself for selling it. I recently sold a Civic Si that ran like a scalded dog and required VERY little maintenance. For whatever reason I never fell in love with it but it was a good car. I never owned a German car that didn’t beat me down and break my heart. You’ve got the right idea avoiding modded cars. Done correctly there’s no reason they won’t run as well as stock. That is assuming it was done correctly…….

I personally have had decent luck at auctions. I’ve picked up basic transportation in good repair for less than 2 grand a couple of times. We bought a Sentra fixed the AC and traded it for more than we had in it when we decided the 1.2L auto wasn’t gonna cut it on the highway. We got one of our tenets a low miles Escort wagon for $1200. You do HAVE to know what your looking at.
