I'm looking for a car for my daughter and unfortunately, don't have a very large budget. I've found a 2007 Toyota Carolla which has done 277000km, 1.8L engine, 2006 Ford Focus 2L that has done 235000km or a 2006 Suzuki SX4 that has done 205000km. What do you think would be the best bet?

Hi these are all quite high mileages, so I will disregard the distances traveled and rank these in order of reliability.
I would rank the Toyota Corolla on top, followed by the Suzuki SX4 and then the Ford Focus.
The advantage would also go to the Toyota in terms of parts availability if something was to fail, which is likely as the age and mileage of a vehicle increases.
