Buying on a Budget

Hi all,

I'm from Los Angeles. I need to buy a car, my budget is 150 to 215 a month with 1,500 down.

I'm considering either purchasing something around the 6k to 8k price range with approximately 100,000 miles on it, OR buying the Kia Optima Hybrid with approx. 30k mileage. The Kia comes with 60k or 10 years factory warranty and 150k or 10 years warranty on the hybrid battery.

I'm considering a Honda Accord for the 6k to 8k price range with 100k miles or so. What should I look for when checking the car out to see whether its a safe investment or not? What kind of mechanic can I take the car to before I buy it to have them check it out.

I'm also going to use the car for Uber or Lyft for extra income so I will be putting in a lot of mileage.

Thanks!
