Buying a daily driver/appliance advice

Best condition for the best price.    To paraphrase z31maniac

This.

Not a lot to be worried about here.  Might have a small issue or two, but that is to be expected with a $3k car.  FWIW, I paid $3k for my daily 6.5 years/80k miles ago and have had minimal trouble.  Certainly nothing remotely approaching 'project' status.

Again, y'all aren't helping by expanding my options even more....  :D

But, honestly, because I was expanding it already myself is why I asked.  Trying to narrow it down.  I almost started a learn me, but realized I'd fill up the first page with different makes/models.

If it's still around when I have the cash, this is probably the most tempting, but it makes me wonder if going Hyundai is a bad idea since it's so cheap.....

It's a drive from me, but might be worth it.

If you are about the same size as the guy in your avatar, a Hyundai Accent will make you feel like the scenes where he's trying to commute in a subcompact car. That's the main "bad idea" factor I can see in play with this.
