 You can get a car that's probably not very dependable, and you're much better off to spend a little bit more than that. I would say a minimum of $8,000. That $8,000 to $12,000 is kind of the sweet spot where you can end up with a good car that's going to be dependable. Otherwise, that $5,000 car is still going to be an $8,000 or a $12,000 car. It's just you're going to spend it in repairs instead of cash when you buy the car.
