At the $10,000 price point, all these cars will have 75,000 miles or more, could be 7-10 years old or older, have cosmetic issues, may have been in an <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/should-you-buy-a-car-thats-been-in-an-accident" target="_blank">accident</a> or have body damage, but should be <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-used-car-can-10-year-old-used-car-still-be-reliable-245884" target="_blank">reliable</a> if they've been well-maintained.
