Good Commuter Car
 
I think my Cruze is reaching the end of it's life, persistent oil leak can't seem to be fixed. What are the best commuter cars these days? Camry/accord/civic? I'd imagine now would be a great time to buy but what I'm seeing of 2012+ cars is $10,000 for 100,000 miles, seems like that's asking a lot? I average about 35,000mi/year.

I have a 2015 Corolla. Bought it in mid 2018 for $16k with 21,000 miles. It's a great car for short hops but if you're sitting in it for more than 1 hour at a stretch then look into a Camry or Accord.

I drive a 2011 camry SE, got it paid off in 1200$ (9 payments). It's served me well thus far.

The Hondas are made in the USA

I paid $700 for a 1997 Geo Metro 4 years ago and it still runs fine. Cheap to insure and gets 40 MPG. I did math on it and it comes out to like 10 cents to get to and from work.

can't beat a corolla for an everyday car.

I'm currently in a 3 year lease with my 2020 vehicle, $299 a month and I can drive around in a brand new 2020 fully loaded.
Don't want to say which brand because real life.

Pretty sure lease is out the window with how much I drive.

What's a good reference for what I should be paying? I've heard that KBB is useless now.
