          it searches what autotrader, eBay, Craigslist, and cars.com

          all those are either empty or have relatively nice car

            The problem is what you’re looking for is far less common than it used to be.

            The bottom has dropped out of the market. Cars under a certain value are usually scrapped and/or parted out. You will find them occasionally but it’s getting rare. In my local area I find that Craigslist has the best selection of beaters, but it’s still difficult to find anything worthwhile under $4000.

            Might be time to consider a motorcycle, scooter, or e-bike of you can make it work

            Edit: one more thing. There are ways to browse FB marketplace without an account.

                Not sure what country your ein, but if it’s one with a non-graduated license program (basic test lets you ride any size bike) please do at least a 2-3 day basic course. In America, they allow you to skip the permit stage but give a proper explanation of controls. It’s so worth it. Please don’t learn from your uncle first.

              Price is dependent on area. I’m close enough to a major coastal US city to commute (not California) and I can find those $3k civics. They’re just 2005ish not 1995ish now. I bought a not-dead-yet 99 ranger for $2k this year which WA impossible in 2021 for “work” trucks. $3k is a healthy goal, imo. The bottom of the market has come down in the last year.

              As for browsing fb marketplace, I can’t get any to work. I try browse at work and it often doesn’t work. I refuse to sign in there. The tips and hacks are outdated, as far as I can tell. If you have recommendations, I’m all for it.

              As for a motorcycle, maybe I’m just fortunate to afford a cheap 00s one for fun, but the weather really literally rains on my parade. Commuting on one means your locked for ~9 hours into that vehicle as your ride home. Weather can change. We get 30%+ afternoon summer thunderstorms here all summer and it sucks. Yeah, there’s rain gear that works well, but even if you ignore the higher crash risk in rain, you have to bring the gear with you (cargo bag) or wear it (sweat like hell) so that’s a compromise. If the climate is drier, the winters warmer, the summers not so humid, and in a more bike-friendly region, that all of course improves viability. I couldn’t beleive the number of bikes I saw in Mexico. Obviously, people make it work, but it’s tough. Different countries have different views on hear, too - that’s a big expense potentially

      Don’t forget to change all your personal details and pictures first.

      They may never delete anything, but as long as they think you take them seriously, they have to accept change.
