Am looking to help my parents purchase a car that will likely be their last one. They’re 65 and 73, retired and need to finally give up their 2004 Toyota corolla which is practically crumbling on them in terms of the paint and interior. They’re not financially able to upgrade themselves so I would be buying it myself and trying to avoid spending more than 25k before taxes. Is that going to be unrealistic?

Any suggestions on which model might be the best for parents who will only be using the car for running small errands in town and don’t need a ton of space that could last them the next 15 or so years?

    2012 Camry, newer step up model, good longevity and pre a lot of the higher tech features in those cars.

      Why are you recommending an already 12 year old car? They need the car for 15 years. Makes no sense

        It’s a Toyota, it’ll last that long and more. Just replace the old radio with a new touch screen unit and it’ll be good as new.
