Looking for car for 4000$.

[Driver2kxx]

I wanna buy car, though dont have much money yet, 4000$ is my very top limit.
Can someone advice sedan, build 1975-2000 any brand.

try civic / corolla 9x

[Mitsu3000gt]

For a budget that low, I would suggest either a civic/corolla/tercel or a 1998ish caviler/sunfire. You can look around a bit and find a good clean one with low KM for 3000-4000$. My neighbor just picked a super low KM 1998 immaculate sunfire GT up for $3500. The car is built like crap but it is very simple, and parts are cheap so it should cause you less problems than anything older for the money.

ZIL

I hear they get their own lanes.

[Driver2kxx]

Zil got just few sedans and they really suck.

By the way i forgot to mentain i know little about cars so "1998ish sunfire" means nothing to me. Could you be more precice please?

[EstoMax]

dude this is a canadian forum if you're in russia the car market is probably completely different... Unless you're trying to import a car from canada ?

[Driver2kxx]

Umm well thats only ENGLISH forum about cars i have found so far.
Could you suggest me some global car forum then?

[Driver2kxx]

I like how Ford Crown Victoria 1992+ look, what you think bout this car?

[SikAssR1]

why dont you get a lada, those are in high demand here:rofl:

[Driver2kxx]

Why dont you pay for my car thats high damand here ! :burnout:

doh after reading http://www.crownvictoriasafetyalert.com/ i am not sure about getting Crown Victoria anymore.

Iz Rossii?

Zdorovo, ne samiy luchshiy website etot chtobi etot vopros sprosit', horoshiya machina v rossie kupit budet Civic. Ne pokupay Crown Vic, fignya na kolesah.

Smotriya na kakih dorogah ezdit' budesh (silno nizko sidyat), yaponskiye machini ne viderzhat nagruz. Esli hochesh pokrepche machinu, pokupay staree Pathfinder ili kakoy nibud drugoy jeep.

Don't buy any "good old" Russian cars though :thumbsup:

[Driver2kxx]

Po4emu Crown Vic fignja na kolesah obosnui pozaluista?

Thanks, but dont like Honda Civic, it looks like everything else nothing stand this car out of line and there is hundreds of them for sell in my region e.g. just few Crown Vic's avalaible here. And i want something special not just another Mercedes or Honda.

[Mitsu3000gt]

A crown vic is certainly nothing special that's for sure. I'd take a mercedes or honda over it any day.

You can post here all you want, its a public forum - just take into consideration when you get information it is coming from a Canadian based community.

1998ish sunfire would be a 1998 or somewhere around that year Pontiac Sunfire. I'm not sure if they have those in russia, but they'd be cheap. Also if your looking for something at all special, the sunfire is definately not for you.

I am just looking for something that isnt widley used here, i have never seen Crown Vic around and also it dont look like anything else and got alot of space, but wont be buying it cause of unsecure fuel tank position.

[Anton]

Crown Vic is very unreliable in my eyes and it won't last you very long. In that price range, it will be an earlier 90s model so the chances of you driving it (especially on Russian roads) for very long is unlikely.

Roomey? Yes. Are there better cars with the same room? Definitely.

Can you even get a Crown Vic in Russia? I never saw them and didn't think that they were available to be brought in.

[Weapon_R]

The crown vic is likely one of the most reliable vehicles ever built...

In my personal experience, I have drove a couple and knew people that had them and from these examples, none of them really held up.

On a larger scale, I do not know how reliable they are.

look at taxi cars, ive seen some with 600+k on em and still running

[Driver2kxx]

Guess theyr reliable if most taxy cars and police cars in us are Crown Vic's.

Any way lets forget about Crown Vic for me, at moment i dont have money for all this extra protection systems for gas tank.

What you think about
Chrysler Concorde (1993-1997)
http://images.consumerguide.com/autoreview/400x266/1993-97-Chrysler-Concorde-New-Yorker-LHS-93101261990711.JPG
or Chrysler New Yorker (1994-1996)
http://images.consumerguide.com/autoreview/400x266/1993-97-Chrysler-Concorde-New-Yorker-LHS-94101261990517.JPG
They look pretty close to Crown Vic design and thats eye candy for me.

If you think its sucks or something then pls. suggest something that look simular and got 4 doors.

[canadiandaytona]

Try and Find a Lancer Shelby or Lebaron GTS...(89 Lebaron GTS Shelby TII (euro model))
They are Super Rare over there but there are a few collectors over there..then you might even have a car that goes up in Value

There is no way of you knowing how many repairs have needed to be done though. You can keep any car running to 1,000,000K if you want to put in some cash. They are used for fleet vehicles because they are cheap to buy, roomy and cheap to get parts for - not because their built well. The spare tire takes up almost the whole trunk too, which is retarded.
