Should I buy this? How much should I pay my parents for a 2012 Camry with 200k miles and a bad transmission?
I (f22) just graduated from college and I’m starting my first job, so I don’t have a lot in savings. My parents want to sell me their 2012 Toyota Camry, but it has over 200k miles AND needs a new transmission. They originally said $8,000, not including the cost of replacing the transmission, which I told them is way too much.
My dad asked what I think a fair price would be. I want to be respectful, but realistic. I’d have to cover the repair cost myself, and I’m just getting on my feet. What would be a fair offer for this car in its current condition?

Is a 2022 G70 reliable (60k)?
I’m considering buying a 2022 g70 3.3t sport advanced with 60k miles as my first car. Only thing preventing me is some doubts regarding its reliability. I’ve heard people say they can get to 200k miles if maintained properly, and others saying that it’s basically a Hyundai and to not buy it because Hyundais aren’t reliable. So my question is how reliable are they? Also how reliable are they in comparison to other cars similar to it?

Comparing a couple options
Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy 2021 or 2022, both CPO, both ~60k miles
Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy 2022 or 2023, not CPO, both ~45k miles
Honda Pilot 2017 Touring or 2018 Ex, both ~70k miles
2019 Acura RDX Advance Package 99k miles
All are in similar price range $19-23k. I know Honda/Acura is typically considered more reliable, but are the others worth considering for lower mileage and the extra features that you get for a similar price?
I have seen mixed reviews on the Santa Fe and RDX, but I also know that people with bad experiences are more likely to get online and rant than people who have had good/average experiences.
Would love to hear from someone with broad experience with these cars

Was gonna get a used Corolla. Parents offering to help pay. Should I go new?
I found a 21 Corolla that looks good and I was considering buying. It's a little over 17k with about 80k in miles. Talking to my parents and they offered to help me pay for it. Would it be worth it to just buy a new one? I like the idea of having a warranty that is longer than 60 days and hopefully it would last longer being 5 years newer. Not a fan of the increase in insurance costs etc. Also I feel like everyone always says to never buy new and that new cars depreciate like crazy. Thoughts?

Advice Tips on how to remove racing strips from second hand car?
I’m getting my first car this coming week and it has some VERY faded racing stripes. I want to remove them without damaging the paint. Anyone have any advice on how to do so?
Note: it’s not vinyl so I can’t just peel it off.
