Toyota Corolla in Austin - tips please?
My budget is 7000$ and the car should be no older than 2000.
The mileage should be less than 130000 miles.
1) Should I go to a dealer? If yes, which ones are good?
2) Should I buy from an individual? If yes, are there any classifiedes sites I can look?
3) If I buy from an individual, what checks do I need to do to ensure the quality of the vehicle?
