1. Buy a car you will maintain carefully, planning to keep it a long time, like a 3-5 year-old SUV.

2. Buy from Craigs List with your fingers crossed, hoping to get not only a cheap car but one your can invest some cash in. Yes, quite a few used cars at Craigs List sell for cash, so you can figure out how to do this securely and pay off repairs with mattress money. Have to watch out for ones not registered fully, ones with serious oil leaks, high mileage, transmission problems, ones with bald tires, ones labeled "rebuilt," etc..

3. Exception to the above might be an older car, long out of style, with body damage, but low miles and price, from original owner you trust.
