I looked for some of the older buicks, but they aren't really out there anymore for cheap.
the dart's are still in the 12 to 14k range here apparently.
only 2 under 10k were a salvage and the turbo.

I saw that coparts lets you advertise un wrecked cars, and browsed a few there.
some interesting cars under 10k there.
lexus ls430, also a 20 year old car, was kind of interesting.
some hail damaged vehicles, under 10k that also might be good too.

noticed a few cop cars, but realized the back seats were terrible. which could be good or bad, lol. Since they aren't allowed passengers or 1 person only till they turn 18.

pickups are not my thing and are apparently expensive to insure for a teenager.
