like 2002 from I don't know to 2010 cheap. Im really looking at something like an suv type of thing. But cars are ok. Please help.

Yeah, I know how you can get a good car cheap. Go to a yard where right-offs go when the owner can't afford to buy the vehicle back. You can often get a very good almost new car (say, about 2004 ish) for a quarter of the price you'd pay on the open market just because it's got a damaged bumper which can be repaired for very little, no more than what you paid for the car anyway. So you've got a half price car, basically.
