My Disco was $4k and it was absolutely fine. Should be able to find decent models under $6k, you just need to look at older, higher km models without any creature comforts and probably some bumps/scrapes. But in terms of running order, pending checks and all they'd be A-OK.

Thank you! I'd like a relatively lower KM model, though. I don't think I'd buy a new car for a long time if I bought a really good one, haha.

Story time? :P

Basically, two workers (my manager and a coworker) have been on bad terms. They've mentioned each other to me and I'm becoming entangled in the drama. The coworker told me something in confidence. It was an allegation about another coworker doing something highly illegal. I was completely fine with that and my lips were sealed. My manager told me something else in confidence, and I promised not to say anything. The moment I saw the coworker, she asked me about my manager telling me anything. As an instinctual reaction, I told the truth and said "yes" and I knew I messed up. I was having trouble sleeping because I was stressing out about being in trouble and all sorts of things.

So, the next shift, I saw my manager and I mentioned that I needed to talk to her. I told her that I slipped up on the thing my manager told me not to talk about, and I also said I was becoming increasingly stressed/anxious about everything. I then mentioned the thing my coworker said about the other coworker. I asked my manager not to tell, but she clearly did. I'm honestly fine with that because now I've escaped the drama.

Some people have said that it's a snitchy/ratty thing to do. I admit, it was dishonorable because while I did tell my manager because it was becoming too tolling on me, I also saw it as an opportunity to take focus away from me accidentally slipping up. I know that's horrible and bad, but the stress was too much and I just wanted it to end.
