So I'm narrowing down my car options...might have it down to two choices. What would you all do?
For a pre-owned car that is approaching and/or past the factory warranty. Reliability is KING 
Obviously, you are budget conscious, you don't want to poor money into a peppy sorta cute car for the next 5 years.
Stay away from Ford, Lincoln, Buick, Jeep (basically anything American). Also, avoid Mercedes, Audi, and Volkswagen.
I saw your post on my short-timers topic and know that you are into/understand cars. Thus, Toyota or Honda = Car Nirvana for MBA students.
EDIT: For full and fair disclosure, I currently drive a Z4.
BUT, if I stay in SoCal and attend USC or UCLA (if Anderson lets me in and if I can't work my way off of the Columbia waitlist), I will sadly need to downgrade to something more practical 
(read RELIABLE!). I can't worry about having my car in the shop when I need to make it to class or a social event. With that in mind, I am currently only looking at Toyota Camrys...

Agreed. Also, if a car has 74k miles, and is in the same class as a car with 33k miles, I would assume that the one with 74k miles has thus far held its value better. It will most likely continue to hold its value better. If you are making good money when you graduate, you will likely want to upgrade and therefore you need to consider the exit options here as well.
Honda, Toyota, BMW, Acura, and Lexus all hold their value extremely well - due in part to their reliability records. Nissans and Infinitis depreciate very fast, as do almost all American cars, Mercedes, and Audis.
no more sports cars for me...actually no more cars for the next two years. i will do my bit for the environment and do the public transportation thing..
