Looking for small sized automatic vehicle that is in decent condition that won’t break down at the worst of times. Must be able to last multiple trips back and forth from Buffalo to NYC. My budget is $2,500 at the moment I know this is a long shot, and with my limited budget, I will definitively have a hard time finding the best vehicle to suite my needs. I am a UB student Thanks ---

2002 Hyundai Accent 59000 mi. 5spd. Fairly clean. It’s like and electric blue color. Has some dent/dings, but is really reliable, and awesome on gas! I think pushed it close 37-40mpg. I was looking for 3k since that was how much I purchased it for in December - if you’re interested let me know if you’d like to work something out. \*Edit - Didn’t realize you were looking for Auto. If you want to learn, this car is super easy to drive! 5spd’s better anyway! More fun. ---
