Looking for Used Auto for 13K

[hornfan1977]

I have an older Acura Legend that is in pretty good shape. Blue book trade in value is around $4500. In the next few months, I want to get a good used car/truck/suv. Something that's reliable, fun to drive, and has decent gas mileage. I have no idea what I want. So, give me some ideas. If you were gonna get something for around 13K, just to keep for about 3-4 years until I have enough $$ to upgrade, what would you look for? Also, what dealerships or used car places in the Austin area would you deal with?

I've got a 2000 Accord, almost perfect condition, SE model. 90K miles, perfect maintenance records, all receipts, mint interior, one scratch on the exterior. I'll sell for $9500 if you're interested. PM me. You could easily get 250K out of this thing.

If you don't have to lug kids around I recommend a 2003-2004 Hyundai Tiburon. Great gas milage and hella fun to drive (only seats 2 adults tho, so not the most practical vehicle).
