I can tell you with absolute knowledge and experience, that you will not get a good quality vehicle for $15k. If you find a car that 'appears' too good to be true, looks great and meets that budget, save yourself a LOT of drama and have it checked out by someone that knows what they are doing, or you'll most likely find yourself very disappointed and reaching a lot further into your pocket than you'd hoped. Sounds negative, but it's the truth and all too commonly heard on this forum by people trying to either save a buck, or buying the first thing that rocks up. Patience is the key and from there, you'd make a smart decision.
