    Default Looking for a good commuter car, <$5k

    Not for me - a co-worker of mine is looking for a solid, dependable commuter car for less than $5k. Must be a four door, prefer a sedan over an SUV, automatic preferred but not required.

    I suggested she shop around for the nicest '98-'02 Accord she could find, but I figured I'd throw this out there if anyone else knew a decent car out there for sale.

    After over 5 years and 100k miles of ownership, my Dad is still happy with his 2.0l Mazda3. His LS2 powered Trailblazer SS sits most days unless he needs the space or towing ability. I usually choose to borrow Dad's Mazda3 for California twisty road duty over Mom's AT Z3.

    I have a friend that has an 2002 explorer for sale for 5K. Looks very nice and has new tires I believe. If you are interested I will give you his #.
