Hi guys ! I'm from Canada, and I need some advices on buying my first car. My budget is under 5k. What models/car brands are reliable ? Also, what do I need to verify and ask the seller ? Thanks a lot !

I have an 03 1.8T 5mt Jetta that I’m keeping maintained mostly myself. It’s fun, old enough that I can consider it somewhat of a beater (I live in the city), and it’s comically easy to park due to the small size. Also, shitloads of aftermarket for it, if you’re into that sort of thing.
