My stepdaughter's car is entering its death throes.  She needs to replace it.  We're thinking late-teens Honda or Toyota.  Is CarMax a non-starter?  What about dealerships?  I suppose we could look for a private sale and have it looked over by a good mechanic.

Our other daughter bought a 2015 Toyota off a lot in south Austin and it has been a gem, but maybe she just got lucky.  Recommendations?

What type of 2015 Toyota did you buy for her?

I think car gurus is a solid rec. I looked at both buying and selling on that platform and might have done so but for the time considerations making a dealer transaction more suitable to my needs.

Searching CarGurus is probably the easiest way to check for used cars across the city.  You can tighten the perimeters to fit your needs.  

Autotempest.com, aggregates all for sale car sites into one, even gets eBay listings.

Stay away from mid/late teens Nissan cvt transmissions, even if have been replace or rebuilt. Prepare for higher prices than expected in this market/climate.
