I need to stop doing three things at once.

I saw that post and it registered in my brain that I was in this thread:

What would you buy for $10k?

Given the prices of most leases right now, I think it would be an interesting discussion on what reliable car one could buy for $10k with under 100k miles to hold you over for a year or so until chip shortage ends and prices start to “normalize”. What would you get?

I honestly thought to myself, “Someone would pay $10,000 for that?”
