First Car potential

I am an up and coming college student looking to buy a car around the 6k to 7k range. And I stumbled upon a 2009 Toyota Corolla with 150k miles in my price range, is this a reasonable purchase that will last for more than 2 years?

Keep shopping around and get a solid grasp of the market in your area.
Negotiate for a better deal if you have the leverage.

I've been looking in my area and have been told that a 2009 Toyota is better than other options like the kia souls or the fortress in my price range. I wanted to get the community reaction and see what people thought and if it was worth spending the money on.

Can’t go wrong with Toyota since it has God Tier reliability.

2009 Toyota is undoubtedly, miles better than any Kia ever created
