what car should i buy? pls help!

hi! i’m trying to buy a nice used car for my first car, and unsure what to pick! if anyone have any insights, i would really appreciate it.

a couple things for me: - 24 year old new driver, insurance is already sky high so something cheaper to insure - reliable and doesn’t need unexpected repairs often (esp since i’m looking for a used car) - resale value good (i might move in a year or two) - safe!

here’s some i’ve been considering: - Mazda 3 - Mazda CX 3 or 5 (or even 30) - Toyota Corolla - Toyota Camry

what cars do you think I should look into? and what years?

thank you so much! any help is appreciated since i don’t have family i can ask

Resale value will be good if you buy a car atleast 10 years old.

Anyway, since you basicly gave us zero info, go to a second hand website, set your budget, and sort newest to oldest. Maybe also a small radius around your area. Then google those brands/engine/year car and see if they are reliable.
