    Chances are that the best used car is one which has ONE specific thing wrong, which they want to sell it because of. This is different from one thing being worse than a bunch of other problems! You can repair that one thing and save a lot of money, and have an otherwise cherry car. Look for worn foot pedals, or brand new ones (!), as signs of high wear, and lots of things about to break.

    You can go for the Honda Civic as this is the best car till now as this needs low maintainance. Also, this car is more or less available in almost all used car store. So, the price would be a little less. Also, you can check hertz car sales center for cool used cars.

    Well the problem is that used cars that are good runners maintain their value. Those cars would be Toyota’s Nissan’s Subaru’s and Honda's. If it's for in city driving and you don't plan on toting a bunch of people around, you should look into smart cars. Check out www.AutoTrader.com and perhaps www.Carmax.com but you can’t talk those people down in price what you see is what you get. You want to find something with less than 100,000 miles and fewer than 50,000 would be ideal. When you go for a test drive feel and listen to any clinks clunks rattles or shakes. Ohh and bring someone along that knows a decent amount about cars.
