Buying a used car, help.?

I am busy saving for a used car. Well, used new ish car I guess. I am 23 and attending college and my current POS car is DYING! lol.

But yah, this is the first car I have ever bought, other two were given by family and I fixed up. I currently have 2800 saved up and wondering what is a good base amount to have.
Should I buy from an independent owner or used dealer?
Try to find one that I can pay all cash up front, or just do some payments?
Any certain cars or year models that are best? I want it to last me forever.
 
buying a car for $2800 will not last you forever, well actually no car will. you can buy a lot of cars for that price including honda's and toyota's. I would advise you to stay away from chevy and ford especially chevy malibu's and ford taurus's.
