      Before people start throwing out their random recommendations, you should give a little more info as to what you want to the use the car for, anything specific you are looking for, etc. You can get a TON of cars for around $20k, it just depends how old you want, etc.

      At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!
