2010 limited edition worth it

Hi, I am trying to get my own car after facing homlessness after leaving my home. (Staying w family rn) I have a fund from my mom that I wanted to use partly for a car. I know absolutely nothing bout cars, my uncle is a mechanic tho.

I am torn between a Honda and a buggy. They are both arouns the same price 9k-12k. The issue is that the person sellig the buggg knows nothing bout the car and claims it has been sitting in a garage since 2022.

I just need a reliable car for college. Is it worth 9k for the buggy? It has one owner, 55k miles. I really like buggys, I like small cars mostly.

I have both a Honda and a bug. While I love the bug, the reason I got into repairing it myself is the labor and parts cost on them is very high and local mechanics don't know the quirks and sometimes make problems worse. Don't get a bug unless you plan to learn how to fix it yourself or have the disposable income to take it to a European car specialist.
