Buy a Corolla... Get a used one and have any service or maintenance you can't do yourself done at a locally owned shop. It's not ideal but it's as good as it's going to get

Solid advice. Toyotas fall in value like any other car, then hit a few thousand and stay there forever. There's a good reason for that.

Between salvage, refurbished parts, and new old inventory, you can easily keep a 10 year old Toyota on the road for decades.
