Don't worry about the year.  Buy the value of the car.

You are after something that has depreciated but is going to give you 5 years of trouble free motoring at minimal cost.

Anything Japanese or Korean tends to be reliable.  Honda, Toyota, Lexus.

Great way to buy cars is take out a wanted add in the local paper.  Someone who has a good car and just does not use it much any more is pleased to have someone take the car off them give them some cash and not have the hassles of dealing with the public.

I have picked up some great cars like this.  Well looked after by people in their 60s and early 70s who have maintained them well.

Contact the classifieds and say, Cash offered for Japanese Car, Truck, Station Wagon etc.  Give your number and let them call you.

I know how to repair anything on a car, but knowing that, I might take the car to the dealer to do some work that I can't handle easily. That said the best car in my experience is the Camry with a non-interference engine. Now they make some interference engines with steel chains that they say last a lifetime, and do not require changing, but I would still prefer a non-interference engine. That said, I do not have any non-interference engines on my two cars because they didn't make my models in non-interference.
One is a truck and it was only made with an interference engine, the other is made with an interference engines with steel chain that they say lasts a lifetime.

Toyota Camry Station Wagon, 2003.  My sister had one, was a real workhorse.  
As for me, give me the basic model Chevy, Dodge, Ford, Buick, Pontiac, standard transmission, no power anything, a great heat/defrost system.  Oh yes, a car I can do the maintenance on myself, oil and lube, change tires,
