Q

I'M BUYING my first car, but have no idea where to start. I have $12,000 and would like a Toyota RAV4, but the ones within my budget have high odometer readings and I can't afford those with lower readings.

Ask Smithy

A

HIGH-KILOMETRE Toyotas are not a concern because they are generally more reliable than other brands. Shop around, check the classifieds and websites, used-car yards and look at lots of cars. If you find one you like, have it checked by an expert you can trust.
