If you can hold out another year then prices may "normalize".

In this case especially, the saying holds true. "If you have to ask, you're not ready."
The required experience is built incrementally over years. No matter how badly you want it, don't bite off more than you can chew.

@Sam_ they are out there, you just have to be diligent checking for them regularly. There are still several clean title cars that pop up near me with high mileage and some minor issues that I can usually pick up for under 5k

OP: I just want to say that I loved my '08 manual Accent hatch (Rio twin). I see you drive a Rio currently, in case everyone thinks I'm crazier than I really am.

Didn't have much luck with private sales but those are probably posted more locally and I didn't dig that deep. If there are $8K retail cars out there then there must be less costly private sale ones. The bigger salvage auction sites have shitloads of them listed. I mean at this rate there won't be any eft in a few more years! Many had no bids listed yet but those that did were not dirt cheap. One had the whole front end wiped off it and the current bid was $2,500. One that didn't look too bad (though they took the picture from the undamaged side) was a $5,500 and still has two days left. Most looked bad enough I doubt that even you guys would be interested and will end up as part outs not rebuild. I also noticed that most of the wrecked ones (with working odometers) were well over 100K miles. None of them were real close to the OP but I doubt he will find many in his backyard anyway since the big concentrations are on the coasts.

Which reduces his odds of finding a wreck anyplace close just as much as a cheap roadworthy one.

In that case, I agree.

Hey, at least you're a real person. That's a plus. Welcome.
