Not him, obviously, but for me:

> cheap rubbish car

Something for $1,000-5,000. It's a gamble buying this type of car. It's either going to be a gem that was well-maintained by a senior, or an absolute nightmare of tow-trucks and repairs.

> okay-ish car

$6,000+. Car comes in decent shape, is clean, ready for the road, but is still in midlife. You can probably get at least 5 years out of it, most likely more, but things will start breaking.

> good car

Brand new car. Minimum $15,000+. Can last a lifetime, depending on how much you drive and how well you maintain it.
