In his Tim Ferriss interview MMM mentioned that you could purchase a reliable car for $5 - 10,000. What model car was he talking about?

I don't think he mentioned a specific car if I remember correctly just that used cars 6-10 years old are still very reliable ways to get around.

Well, there's approximately a bajillion cars that fit that criteria. This article is about five years out of date, but fortunately that just means all the recommendations have depreciated some more.

Specific recent data points:
My dad bought a 2007 Nissan Sentra two years ago with 84K for $3700.
A coworker bought a 2010 Hyundai Accent last year with 50K for $5000.
I've personally never paid more than $2,000 for a car. Current car was $1,000 last year.

I bought a 2005 Honda Civic for $4200 about a year ago, about 90,000 miles on it. Runs great.

About a year ago I paid $7700 for a three year old Nissan Leaf with 32k miles. They are even cheaper now.
