What are some car-buying tips you have?

I really need a new car.
My parents are trying to help me decide.
They are trying to talk me into ugly cars that I do not like.
They made me get the ugly car that I have now, back when I was a teen. I got ripped off because I went to a place my dad told me to go. A place he's been getting cars.

It's many years later. I do not want to be ripped off again.
I know that I'd need to put a good amount down, in order to have cheap car payments....
I really don't want to finance a car, because I think paying interest is stupid.
I know that if I pay the car off quickly, I'd pay less in interest.

I have thought about getting a cheaper cash car, but then that would come with more miles, which most likely means more car problems. Problems that I most likely won't have if I buy a newer car, around $10k , which is still alot to me, but I want a good car with no car problems for at least a few years. So sick of having car problems. My current car is 15 years old and will not pass inspection (unless I get x,y and z fixed)..

🤦🏾‍♀️😖🚗

*oh, and i do have a trusted, personal mechanic whom I will consult before purchasing anything.

Hyundai’s or Honda’s are usually good cars

Hmm well Hyundai’s used to be on the lower end of cost for cars, not sure if they still are, but if you get one without all the fancy features it may be a little less @iamnikki
