Made a couple of money and I’m ready to get my first car but can’t decide which one should I go for
Nissan Versa 2014-2016
Hyundai Accent 2013-2015
Mazda 3 2012
Renault Symbol 2022
Between these four I would go with the Mazda 3 but definitely have a trusted mechanic check it out. You didn't state your budget but you can also consider used Corolla or Civic.
@fjcruiser_2014 well it’s hard to get a corella where I live everyone wants them. Is it better to get a 2011 camry checked by a mechanic and said it’s all good but it has 423k mileage?
As other folks have already responded no that's high mileage so no unless it's really cheap; so not even for $3k.
How about a used Civic if that's easier to find in your area. Or go with the Mazda 3 you mentioned in your original post.
@fjcruiser_2014 problem with the mazda 3 it’s not clean and it had some accidents.. I found a 2015 Yaris with 119k miles and a 2019 Hyundai Accent with 61k miles.. the accent is a little bit more expensive than the yaris. Which one should I go for
Have a mechanic check out the Yaris. You didn't state the price but at that mileage they shouldn't be asking too high.
@fjcruiser_2014 8k usd the yaris.. accent is 9.5k
Based on my location they are asking the higher end price for the Yaris. Have a mechanic check it out, make sure recall work if any is performed, and negotiate to lower the price.
I'm using a 2011 Camry as my daily driver and it's been completely trouble free. However, a Camry with 400K+ miles is near its EOL and expecting further trouble free service out of a car with that high of mileage is unrealistic, whether it's a 4 banger or V6.Is it better to get a 2011 camry checked by a mechanic and said it’s all good but it has 423k mileage?
@hixster, I gotta feeling he meant 423k km which is about 262k miles.
@jvin I based my answer off the info he provided but you're right as the Renault wasn't sold in the states. Thanks!
@hixster It still better be cheap to be considered with that kind of mileage on it. Looks like that year Camry may be prone to transmission problem, though it should not experience the trans shudder issue that the 2012-2014 models have, unless maybe it's a late 2011 build that received the problem transmission.

@ chuchtobias AMD all but took back his criticisms of the 2010-2011 Camry following his video review. He made several "corrections' in replies to comments, which were overwhelmingly positive. I've highlighted a couple posts with his replies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00FrbkKcolg&lc=Ugz4AJ6TVm36kgpVzTV4AaABAg.9CO7fhUztFM9ClF-cH3vUc

The 2010-2011 U760E transmission doesn't suffer from TC shutter as some later models with the same transmission.
The 2010 and 2011 Camrys have proven to be very reliable. Regardless, @neinbased shouldn't buy one with high mileage unless it has verifiable service records (oil & tranny) because of the dealer promoted and recommended 10K oil changes.
@hixster Sorry! Lol I did mean it in KM which is about 262k miles is that still fine? Most cars here have high mileage for some reason..
@Neinbased No problem., note the CarKiller site is mainly oriented toward a North American audience. To answer your question at 260K miles? No way.
