A $2300 Toyota three years ago. It’s probably saved me about 15K in car payments. It’s old and ugly but I’m so much further ahead because of it.
I'd strongly recommend you continuing to make a "car payment" to yourself.
Wow, that's incredibly cheap for a car! My biggest worry worry used cars was always maintenance. Did you have a lot of problems to fix along the way?
Couple usual small things like suspension, struts, tires, brakes, etc. and some rust repair (salty Ontario roads), but nothing major.
The key thing is finding a vehicle with only one or two owners, wasn’t used for Uber/delivery, had all the required maintenance, and was generally well cared for. Most cars will easily hit 500K km barring any major design defects these days.
