10 Super Reliable Cars - That You Can Still Buy for $10,000

Do your car price research, visit my site:

Finding a cheap and nice used car isn't as easy as it used to be. Used car prices went up a lot last year, and they're still really high, which is tough if you don't want to spend a lot of money. But you can still find some great cars that are reliable and even fun for under $10,000. You just need to take your time, do your homework, and check out this list we made.

We put together 10 great used cars you can get for about $10,000. We picked cars that are newer than 2010 and should still have plenty of life left in them. We chose them based on their prices, what people say about them, and how reliable they are.

As a former used car dealer, I highly advise y'all to stay away from the Ford Fusion. It is reliable, until something breaks down, and it becomes a nightmare, because that something will be expensive. I've see Fusions with the engine block simply cracked on it's side. Have to agree with the rest, You also should of mentioned the beautiful and reliable Mazda-3, even the older ones are super reliable.

My 2002 Honda Accord is due for maintenance tomorrow, I purchased it brand new when I graduated from college. With a mileage of 251, 178 as of 4/2/2024, it's holding up well, besides a minor oil leak. It's difficult for me to rationalize purchasing another car when this one reliably gets me from point A to B, costing me an average of around $900 per year for insurance and maintenance combined. The money I've saved from avoiding car payments has given me the flexibility to dine out, travel, or take a much-needed mental health day when necessary. It all comes down to choices. Thank you, Honda, for your reliability!

Toyota & Honda again, and again. No more words.

Daily drivers in my family:
1992 Volvo 940T with 354, 300 miles.
1993 Volvo 240 with 284, 200 miles.
1998 Volvo V70 with 292, 434 miles.
All have original engines and transmissions. I do routine stuff, oil, filters, wiper blades, and tires. That's it. These cars are bullet proof. Heavy, solid, safe...easy to work on. No book value. Cost pennies to insure, and due to age are exempt to yearly emission testing.

I have owned Mazda, Honda, and currently drive a Toyota and Im impressed with the quality of them.

Got me a 2012 Accord in the summer for $7800. It always feels good to pay in 1 payment

I thought you had forgotten the Accord. I bought a 05Accord 4 years ago for $2500. I changed myself a couple of things. Timing belt, water pump, brakes. Also I replaced spark plugs, ignition coils and suspensions. After that I have been driving it every day for 4 years. No problems at all. Now reaching 215000 miles. Those cars are made to last. The only issue was a recall regarding air bag, but they fixed it at the dealership for free.

Honda Fit. You can fit a 9’ surfboard and a few others on the side and shove two kids in back. Easy to park, great on gas and never breaks

I have a 2015 Mazda 6 Grand Touring and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I bought it brand new, now I have 144, 000 miles, never had any issues, still feels very tight and drives like a brand new vehicle. I am pretty confident I can drive my Mazda 6 well over 250, 000 miles!

2011 Accord 222, 000 miles still runs like a champ

[Dogsnark]

I have a 2004 Corolla and it has run without a hiccup reliably since. It still gets 40 mpg on the highway. I sometimes think about getting something newer, but then ask, why? I’m almost 80 and don’t do as much driving anymore, and car insurance has gotten so expensive, especially on newer cars. This car will probably outlive me.

[hoosierfan]

I completely regret selling my 03 Corolla with 239k on it.
I wanted something that looked and felt nicer but regret settled in very soon after selling it privately.

[renenavidad]

The Fusion is loosing its head gasket at around 100k miles, not to mention most tech’s do not want to repair it because of high return rates on the same repair.. it should not be on this list.

[anthonyscardaville]

One car I never see on lists is the Toyota Matrix. Its basically a Corolla wagon. You can save some $$$ by buying it as a Pontiac Vibe.

[rmarchell]

I’ve got a beautiful 2005 Chrysler 300 Limited. 3.8L and currently has 204k miles on it. I paid $3000 for it 7 years ago. ( yes I got a great deal as pre owner was in need of cash at that moment) This 300 has been, hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned in my life. Hands down the best! Keeping up on your maintenance can make all the difference.

I am a 71 years of man, I have a 1986 Toyota pick up single axle, 22r engine, automatic transmission, power steering, power brake and air conditioner with 291685 miles, I wouldn't sell, trade or buy any other car for nothing at all, it runs trouble free, I always give it the standard preventive maintenance, it runs to the perfection, if I notice any problem I personally fix it myself, there is nothing about that Toyota mechanically wise that i don't know, I know the entire mechanical system by heart, it looks and run to the perfection, no scanner required to troubleshoot the whole pick up truck, I don't think that any other company can built any car or truck as reliable as this unit, I will keep it until my last day in this world, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
