I don't trust Korean Cars.

Hyundai is now one of the US Auto industry's largest domestic employers.  They actually moved their factories here.

For my $1500 I'd probably look for an early 90's honda or toyota with ~ 100k miles.  But I am biased towards japanese cars.  Heck for $2k you could probably get a late 90's or early 2k's Hyundai or Kia

In that case, your $1500  isn't gonna get you far. 100,000 mile hondas and toyotas still fetch a pretty good price tag. You have to go 150,000 and above on honda/toyota to get in the price range. At those mileages, you are really playing with fire. The reason people buy volvo's, specifically 1994/1995 and earlier, is that the engines were made with the same kind of standards as engines in semi trucks. The engine will outlast the car in almost every case except for lemons that crap out around 100,000.
For my second car, I had a toyota corrolla. everyone told me how it would last forever. a year and a half later at 125,000 miles the engine blew. You don't HAVE to rebuild a volvo engine until well after 250,000 miles under normal operating conditions.

Plus he can run it on used up french fry oil.  Chicks love to smell like french fries.

Not all volvos are diesel
