Perfect is a relative term, but for 8 grand you can find a very nice used car. I've noticed the desirable cars sell very quickly on Kijiji, especially if the price is right. Yesterday there was a 1997 Camry with about 130K, car looked really nice they were asking $1700, car is no longer listed. The car would normally sell for 4k+, like these:

1992-2001 Camry IMO is the best used car out there, downside is people tend to completely ignore regular maintenance and drive them until they die, which is almost never. So you could end up with a car that needs quite a lot of work like suspension, timing belt etc.
