Depends on the car. If its assembled in Japan, there is nothing wrong with C. You can get a car with 150K miles and it'll run just fine for the next 50K miles. However, if it was assembled in USA/Canada, I'd be wary with it, and wouldn't get a car with more than 50K miles.

The assembly point is very important. As an example, with Hondas pretty much all non-Japan assembled vehicles have transmission problems.

Getting a new car makes no sense, unless you plan to lease.

Go look on Craigslist, there are a whole bunch of good deals on there.
