During my sophomore year of college, I was required to get an co-op for my engineering degree. After finding a position, I then needed to figure out how to get there because I didn't have a car. I decided to get a used car from a dealership, and that where I got my car. It was a slightly used Toyota Avalon, and we got for about 8,000 dollars. Since then, I have used that car to take me to and from work, out of my home state, and across the country on a 5,000+ mile road trip. This car has been the most reliable car that I have ever owned, and I can always count on it to get me where I need to go.
