Can someone tell me which one is a better choice - these are the options from private listings:
1. 2009 Toyota Yaris 3 door hatchback, 31K mileage - price obo $9500
2. 2008 Honda Civic sedan, 71K mileage - price obo $10500
Both cars are garage kept and in good conditions. Nothing special about their additional options - both of them are basically base models. The prices are within the range of KBB and NADA.
My budget is to spend max $10K.
I'm a student who mostly needs to go from point A to B (my apartment is close to campus) but I might want to travel around states during holidays. Gas saver and low maintenance costs are my top priorities. Size is not my priority because I just need the car for myself.
This is going to be my first car and I just recently learn driving. Any suggestions?
