Buying a used car

So it's time for me to get a car, but I pretty much know nothing about them. So obviously looks aren't that important to me, I just want something reliable that gets me from point A to point B. Also just to mention, my parents are buying the car, not me.
My friend reccomended a toyota camry, which he claimed has a history of being a very reliable model. I went to www.capitaloneautobuying.com and checked out the camry's nearby, and they all seem to be within a good price range. I also noticed that there are a lot of toyota corrola's being sold, and those look nice too.
I'd like to know more peoples opinion on the matter, and just things in general that I really should know or look out for. Since I'm really ignorant on the subject of cars and whatnot... Thanks

I'm kinda in your boat, my sh!tbox on wheels has crapped out on me 3 times in three months and each repair has cost me more than twice the cost of a monthly payment for a NEW '08 Focus. But that's besides the point.
I have seen an '08 Focus for as low as $14,060 US today, but my credit rating, aside from student loans and a single credit card (that I have not used), is non-exsistant.
Here's a used one I saw. An '04 Focus ~50,000 miles for $6,970. Even at 12% intrest for 5 years it's less than $140 a month. With money down it'd be even cheaper.
Also I'm a 300lbs guy and I fit behind the wheel just fine so you know it's roomy enough inside.
No i don't work for Ford, but I do like this car.
Edit: Sorry I was shopping for cars all day reading about cars all day and obsessing about cars all day.
Edit2: also Nissans are good too.
