Re: First Car
Good points here and a few other things to consider,
Get the word out to relatives and friends, you never know if they were planning on selling or trading a vehicle in and may sell it to you instead. Generally they will be more apt to let you know if there's anything critically wrong with it. To be honest, in the under 5K price range with a 10 year old or more vehicle there is likely to be minor problems, you just don't want the major ones.
You're in Michigan too so keep the winters in mind with what you choose. A 2wd pick up won't be the best thing and a 4wd will hit you on insurance bad at your age. I drive a fwd 1997 Camry that I keep good tires on and for the most part have been able to handle the CT winters.
