If it's not a hybrid then it's definitely manual transmission for me. I'm looking around right now for a used second generation prius, but everyone seems to be asking $20,000K. What's a good site to look for used cars?
Welcome.

I agree with the recommendations: A compact sedan of some sort. You may be able to find a used hybrid of sorts for $20K and seat up to 4 comfortably.

I've sold with Cars.com a couple times (had weird calls with AutoTrader).

Edmunds.com is great for researching the price and specs of the vehicle.

Don't forget Consumer Reports for expected reliability.

CarMax.com will give you the high-end price -- they usually pay the highest on trades, though (they'll buy the car even if you don't buy from them) -- good warranties -- but again, costly.

Best FE to ya!
