    You need to define what you mean by 'rock bottom' price.

    If you mean $500...well, I'd be nice if Jerry Buss would sell me the Lakers for
    $1000, but that's not happening either.

    If you mean $5000, then you've got a decent shot.

    If you mean $8000, you're odds improve considerably.

    If you mean $10k, then good dependable cars abound (many less than 5 years old).

    BTW, why are you so fixated on that 5-years number? I drive a 15 year old pickup truck
    and a 16 year old motorcycle. Both are excellent vehicles.

    Here's what Consumer Reports recommends for less than $4000

    Acura Integra '00
    Chevrolet Prizm '00-02
    Ford F-150 (V8, 2WD) '00
    Honda Civic '00
    Hyundai Accent '04
    Mitsubishi Galant '00
    Subaru Impreza sedan '00
    Toyota Corolla '00-01; Echo '00-02

    Here is what Consumer Reports recommends for $4k to $6k:

    Acura CL '01; Integra '01; RL '00; TL '00
    Buick Century '04; Regal '03
    Hyundai Sonata (V6) '03-05
    Infiniti G20 '00, '02; I30 '00
    Lincoln Continental '01-02
    Mazda B-Series (2WD) '00-01; Protegé '02
    Mercury Grand Marquis '00-02; Sable sedan '04
    Mitsubishi Lancer '02-03
    Nissan Frontier (2WD) '00; Xterra '02
    Pontiac Vibe '03
    Subaru Impreza wagon '03
    Toyota Avalon '00; Camry '00-01; Camry Solara '00-02; Celica '00; Corolla '02; Echo '03-05; Prius '01-02; Sienna '00-01
    Volkswagen Jetta TDI '01

    Whatever you do, don't buy a BMW GS....;-D...
