Honda Civic!
Acura Integra!

Any Honda basically
Very reliable and can make it look good

Unless you want something fast, then any old DSM, Eclipse/Talon/DAytona will do

But you have to realize that for that price, you don't have many good cars to choose from?

Beautiful thing with Honda's are that most motors can be interchangeable ........ plus the abundance of aftermarket support.....heck you might be able to pick up some good quality used parts from guys parting out their car.......just a thought

There's alot of EG's around... that's why you have to personalize the one you buy :D

240SX

1st gen RX-7

Z31 300ZX Turbo

Golf GTI MKII (90-92, 16V)

Just some thoughts . . . Hondas are nice but everyone and their mom has one.

Give more info for what specifically is important to you. I can list about 200 vehicles when the only info given is a 5 grand USD price limit.

dont buy something so old that it needs constant repair....many ppl think that the ae86 is a cheap car...and it is, but only initially. beyond that, its a money pit

I went yesterday and looked at a White 95 honda Civic coupe Dx and i want to know how much i should pay for it. I know that the price shes asking is too high ($7500) It is in pretty good condition, has 188K, no stereo or anything, nothing fancy. No power windows or doors either. Im taking the car into the garage soon and if it checks out id like to make an offer but i dont know how much can you help me?

For a 95 coupe with 188,000km on the clock, I wouldn't pay more than $4000.
